Furniture

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah hallelujah!!!! We just got rid of our last Tupperware furniture!!! I found a pair of really nice nightstands. This means no more Tupperware nightstands!!! I really need to say this again, Hallelujah!!!!! When we moved here to Washington, we had ZERO, count it out (it won't take long), zero pieces of furniture!! We luckily had camping chairs and Tupperware coffee tables in our living room. Jonathan and I slept on an air mattress (which if anyone has done that for more than like 2 days, it can make you cranky, okay it can make me cranky) with Tupperware Nightstands and Tupperware TV stand, the boys slept in tents and in sleeping bags in their room and you guessed it, a Tupperware toy box. Caleb slept in his playpen and had a changing table using four Tupperwares, I just put the changing pad on it. The last room, the kitchen started out with a Tupperware table and one boy sat on a little stool and the other on the ice chest. Jonathan and I ate in the fancy living room. We were living high style. Oh and our laundry room, it was down the road a ways at a Laundromat. Lol.
We have slowly, but surely pieced our house together, one item at a time. It has been kinda fun hunting for the perfect couch, kitchen table, bunk beds, crib, etc. We as a family have shopped many weekends til we dropped just knowing if we go to one more store, it might be there.
Oh how far we have come. We still have a few more items of furniture we need to buy, but none that we can't live without for a little while (like a headboard and a dresser in our room, etc).
When you start with nothing, you seem to be thankful for anything. Jonathan and I have vowed to each other (of course to love each other til death do us part) and to never ever sell everything we own. What kinda crazy idea was that? Nuts I say!!!!
At the time, it sounded like a crazy idea, basically because it was. But, it worked out perfectly for what was to come! There is no way we would've had the cash flow to move, and the house Jonathan and I bought when we were both 20 years old (note to self: if I'm ever 20 again, don't buy a house until you turn at least 25, I've heard the logical and reasoning part of your brain isn't developed until then, I heard it on Dr. Phil, which means it has to be true, right?!) the house would've definitely stopped us from having any money to move (houses, especially with a pool can be very expensive, but we were trying to live the American dream instead of living in reality). It was a hard lesson to learn, but life moves on and so did we, literally, we moved.
All that to say, Hallelujah!!! Tupperware free is the way to be!!!
Here's a little before and after picture!!
