Apartment Essentials: First Apartment Checklist


It wasn't until I had my first apartment when I realized I didn't have a lot of the essential things I needed. I created this apartment shopping list based off ultimately what I ended up needing or buying. Some items may seem unnecessary to you while these items were necessary for me, that's okay to.

POINT IS hopefully this little tidbit of information will help you when deciding on items you need for your first apartment. =)
