Amber Rose's Profile

I did this once with a friend. We were fortunate enough to have a large living room, so one of us took the bedroom and one of us took most of the living room. With careful furniture placement and curtains, it worked out. It depends a lot on the layout of the apt.

Soon after moving in with my boyfriend, he realized I was much more clean than him, and that I expected him to go half on all the chores. So he went out and bought a dry erase calender, which has become our chore board. Every two weeks we sit down and dole out the chores that need to be done in an even way. That way we both know what needs to be done and what's expected of us. Every once in awhile we'll skip a week, and it will remind us how much better that system is for us.
2 1/2 years later, our house is almost always tidy and we literally have never fought about chores. All we have to do is maybe 20 minutes of chores a day each.

looove this! I'm so inspired. Very gypsy

Housebunny is so right. Every single guy's apartment looks just like this..

This is all so inspiring, but I'm having such a difficult time because I'm in a job transition right now and have zero dollars to spend. All the furniture I do have is mismatched and I need so many pieces. My walls are already a color I like, I'm just lost as to what I can do!
