Moving on up

In all the busyness of starting a new job, embarrassing myself in front of my new coworkers with sand all over me, and having my cheek balloon out I have not gotten a chance to talk about me new digs. As some of you might remember my old apartment in Iowa City I called it the crack house, basically I did not live in the nicest area of town. Every month or so their would be a domestic disturbance problem in the neighborhood that would bring out the local police. My apartment was very small 1 bedroom and you get what you pay for. Not to say that it was all bad because I will miss talking to our local bum Harold who always rummaged through our dumpster every Saturday morning. He was a nice guy where I set some cans aside just for him. Well my new place is a huge upgrade. Comparing the two the view here is right off the river, the crack house was a level view of the parking lot and Harold in the dumpster. My last place had a grand total of 340 square feet, the new place has over 650 square feet. Which means I have a lot of living space that I have never had before. If someone is to walk into my place you can tell I have no idea what to do with all this space. It is a work in progress but I bet by the time I leave I will get a couch, no guarantees I am not good on getting stuff like that so we will see. Any suggestions of how to decorate would be appreciated look at what I am dealing with.
