Bought a house, haven’t bought a single new thing for it.

First time homeowner here. Bought my house a few months ago and haven’t bought a single new thing for it. I got a used dishwasher from my grandma and a book shelf from the alley, but other than that we’re just using all the same stuff from our apartment.

Does it all fit perfectly in the space or look aesthetically pleasing? Not necessarily, but everything works and we don’t need much.

Not looking for praise, but this is just a reminder to “use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.” I’m doing just fine without matching rugs, a new sectional, or a fancy closet organizing system.

(FTR, I know homeownership in general is associated with increased consumption and lifestyle creep. Doing my best to avoid this — our home is smaller, and more efficient than our rental, has a yard for gardening so we can grow our own food, and is much more accessible to public transit & walkability. We’re using the house for co-living, too!)
