New Place, New Plot

(I picked the cushions. Nobody vetoed them.)

When I moved into my own place, I realised I had no idea how to decorate it. I'd spent so long deferring in my relationship that I genuinely didn't know what I liked. Not the cushions, not the colours, not even the mugs. I've since learned this is incredibly common. So I worked it out one room at a time, and this is everything I'd buy again. Consider it a head start.
