I have finally decided to rent my own place.  I found a really cute apartment that is close to the restaurant where I work.  It is a bit smaller than I am used to, but I will make it work.  The living room is really nice and it has a fireplace in the corner.  I am trying to cut down on bulky items, so I have decided to get a couple speaker tv stands.  This will conserve space and they look really sharp.  I am also going to mount my flat screen on the wall.  I cannot wait to finish decorating.  I love my new place.
