Living in my current apartment has made me realise a few things. It’s especially made me realise what I miss. Nothing like coming home at 2am excited for reheated pizza or dinner only to realise you don’t have a microwave!
Here’s the top wish list for my next apartment:
- A patio/ balcony – I love indoor outdoor flow & somewhere I can escape to talk on the phone or just watch life pass by.
- A couch I can lie on and relax. Also where I can entertain guests. Not that I do any funky couch acts but currently mine is so small it’s awkward to even have a two person convo.
- A TV – I don’t really watch TV so this came as a surprise to me. I guess I just like the noise?
- A microwave. Essential in a freezing winter that I’m about to experience. Also when I’m hungover, reheating something in a pot or pan is far too complicated.
- A pet – okay that’s just a wishful item! I’d love a dog or a cat (that doesn’t smell) to play with, minus the responsibility.
- And last but not least, an awesome housemate or two! I love company and being around others. Plus I need someone to laugh at my lame jokes.
I forgot curtains! I need curtains. And a vacuum cleaner that works.
haha, your list totally reminds me of the one I made before me and mr me moved in together over on the north shore. if you are looking for a cheap vaccuum cleaner and you happen to think the “dirt devil” from Shoppers Drug Mart is a good bargain – DON’T DO IT!! They’re a bit crap and the cord is WAY too short. Not that our 1bdrm apartment was massive, but still. Cheap, for a reason. Oh and I like the picture of your dream apartment. We lived without a microwave too, Scott didn’t love it but I was OK with it. Maybe we weren’t hungover enough 😉 we did score one from the basement car park of the building but found out quickly why it was there – should’ve named it Sparky. We put Sparky back where we found him. Good luck with your list!
Hahaha there are so many great parts to this comment. No dirt something from shoppers – got it.
Mr Sparky – sounds like he really zapped your food. Terrible joke on my behalf lol.
haha! yeah that was pretty bad but you tried and that is the main thing 😉 I don’t actually think we left anything in him long enough for him to do anything to our food because he was sparking like mad inside. may he rest in peace…
