HG: What was your decorating budget for the entire space?
A: To be honest, I’m not totally sure lol. We’ve been slowly decorating since our last apartment. Here are some of the items that we’ve recently spent on. The Office/2nd bedroom for all of the furniture was around $2,000 (we’ve put the most $$ into this with recent WFH needs). For the balcony we spent $900 (our most recent purchases, still coming along) For our living room we’ve had this furniture for a while, but if I had to guess we spent $2,000 on decorating when we first did the space and our bedroom is in need of a makeover 🙂 So will leave out what we’ve spent on that since it hasn’t been much
HG: What is your neighborhood like? What surrounds your home?
A: We keep resigning our lease because of the location! It’s so close to all of our favorite coffee shops –Dolce & Salato, The Hive, and Bwe. It’s also one block away from Columbus Park. We also have Tenth Street Pizza, 10th and Willow, Carpe Diem, The Shephard and the Knucklehead, The Ale House, Rosario’s Pizza, more are all within a four-block distance from our apartment. Even the supermarket like Shoprite and Trader Joe’s are only a few blocks away.
