My Greatest Find.

Last weekend we decided to move out of our apartment and into a smaller place. Yes, I know you are all thinking we are crazy, but the price tag is what did it for us.
Every time Taylor and I have moved we downsize. Our first place was a 1700 square foot town home with plenty of room. Then we moved to NY and lived in a 1200 square foot apartment. Now we are living in an 800 square foot apartment.
This past week I have been trying to find hiding spots for all of our JUNK!! I have been putting stuff in every corner and every closet. We had no more hiding spots and I still had piles of stuff that needed a home. I was getting so frustrated with everything especially the stupid 7 foot Christmas tree that had been lying in our hall way for the past week, which I have tripped and stubbed my toe on multiply times. Right after stubbing my toe for the who knows how many times and cursing this apartment I looked up and saw this...........


Yes, an attic. I got so excited that I ran and grabbed the ladder and crawled up in. As soon as I got up inside and looked around I could not believe what I was looking at. Tons of space. I ran to call Taylor to tell him about my new find. I reorganized our entire apartment and hauled tons of bins and most importantly the 7 foot stupid Christmas tree into the attic. Now our closets are not even full!!!! What a wonderful day.
