The world of unmarried people can be split into two groups. Those who co-habitate and those who have their freedom. The number of unmarried people sharing a household is steadily climbing as traditional views of marriage change with the times. Living with a significant other before getting married is a litmus test for whether or not a relationship is meant to be. Regardless of how well two people know each other, co-habitation is like opening the Pandora's Box of single-people issues. He thinks there's only one way to fold a towel, and she never realized this was a 5-star hotel. When it comes to living together, the difference between breaking up, and blowing up can be summed up in one word: space.
When everything is shared, a little selfishness goes a long way. For those who live in already cramped quarters, it's important to make the most out of what little space you do have. After moving in with the bf, I lost a space where I could paint, draw, make jewelry, and be alone. I realize the latter was part of co-habitation, but I desperately wanted to have a spot for the things that mattered to me. I've previously mentioned the elfa storage system as a way to maximize closet space, but did you know that elfa can also help maximize space in the office, kitchen, garage, and laundry room? In fact, there isn't a part of the house (or apartment) that elfa can't organize.

With all the different kinds of elfa storage solutions, their Craft Room System
seemed to be a perfect fit for me. Instead of having my art materials
strewn across the floor or piled into a heaping mess, they're now
neatly organized and off the floor. The mesh drawers are perfect for
paints, pencils, you name it, and the shelving system is ideal for
storing my never-ending magazine collection, sketch pads, and more. Now
that my hobbies and art were neatly organized, I was able to free up
cluttered space, while creating a nook for myself. Thanks to The Container Store
(4% cash back), the elfa Storage System is now 30% off. Not only has
elfa given me a place to call my own, but saving 30% has given me
something else I truly need -- cash!
