Wow. If I was required to give a gift every time friends moved from a studio to a one-bedroom, I'd be even broker.

And what happens when they decide to go minimalist a few years later (and get rid of your gift), then require a guest room a few years after that?

I'm all for celebrating major occasions with gifts, but I do not see how moving from a studio to a one-bedroom qualifies as a major occasion (regardless of whether they plan to marry).

Thank you for your comments and suggestions - all of them! My brother made the awesome coffee table, and we designed it to be used occasionally as a bench - we actually call it "the benchable."

Rearranging furniture is completely within my budget, so I'll try that first. Please keep the suggestions (including window covering and other topics) coming - I'm really grateful!

This is gorgeous! I love the warm tones and its shape. I would love this in my space!
