When moving into your first apartment, you usually don’t
have money right away to buy all of the furniture you need. However, I think that we can
all agree that at the very least, we all need a place to sleep and eat. Today's "Great Finds" are not only space saving solutions, but are
multi-functional while providing the necessities. While these were most
definitely “Great Finds” for me, they would also be incredible solutions for
people moving into a studio apartment.
-Great Find #1: Belize Euro Lounger
This couch is by far my favorite apartment purchase ever!
That is because it is not just any old couch; it is a multi-positional
sofa that is convertible to your relaxation needs. The backrests and armrests
can be reclined all the way down, and your sofa is transformed into a very
comfortable bed! Bring one of the armrests up to its upright position, and you
have a lounger with a headrest. Recline part way, all the way, sit upright...the positions are endless and offer way more comfort that any ordinary sofa. This couch is actually very
inexpensive for all of the services it provides, and allows you time to save up
some money for a bed, if you don’t have one right when you move in. Don’t have
space for a bed? No problem! The fact that this couch turns into a bed so
easily makes this perfect for any small or studio apartment. I have slept on
this couch countless times, and even have friends sleep over on it. If you
need a couch AND a bed, this is a "Great Find" for you! Not to mention, the space
underneath the couch is perfect for sliding cute drawers or boxes underneath for a stylish and
functional storage and space saving solution. This “Great Find” can be found at
Costco for just $599.00. Look at what it can do!

Mix n' match!
This is the euro lounger in my space. Super cute right?
-Great Find #2: Coffee Table
This coffee table was actually gifted to me by the previous
owner of the apartment. She was getting rid of a bunch of furniture, giving it
away or selling it. While you may never find this exact table, gems like this
are something that you could find on Craigslist or at a tag sale. One person’s
trash is another man’s treasure, so do not hesitate to visit your local tag
sale; you never what you will find and you will be surprised by how much of it is in amazing condition.
This looks like an ordinary coffee table. Not trendy in the least, but this coffee table is hiding a
ton of secrets. The top of the table can be lifted to expose two storage
compartments that no one would ever expect. Once the table top is lifted, it is
a perfect eating height for those nights that you want to rent a movie and eat
Chinese food in front of the tv while on your euro lounger (like how I tied that in?). This is where I ate many of my meals when I
first moved in and did not have a dining table yet. Like my couch, this would
be a perfect solution for a small or studio apartment where there is not enough room for a dining table. Instead of buying a
dining room table for one or two people to use, a table like this is
multi-functional, space saving and offers great storage. “Great Finds” don’t get
better than this! There are a slew of coffee tables out there that provide the
same services as this one. It may take a little research to find a budget friendly one, but you may just get as lucky as I did!
