DIY Life

If you've ever wondered about trying to move from an apartment to another apartment, or from condo to house (or from anywhere to anywhere, heh), you probably loathe all the packing and moving that's required. Unless you hire a moving service, packing and moving can be exhausting from start to finish. If you move often, aren't you tired of all that effort, all the time?

After all, you're probably into moving yourself if you're reading DIY Life. Can you imagine furniture like tables and chairs and swings (oh my) being packed like pancakes in the back of that SUV or even in the trunk of your car? If you choose flat-packed types of furniture, this is entirely possible. For those twenty-something new career jobsters in the Bay Area, getting a decent amount of flat-pack furniture for your first apartment gig makes quite a bit of sense. Doesn't it?

Not only do these types of furniture allow you to pack your furniture up into incredibly small spaces, the pieces look great when assembled and easily fit an older apartment to a newer condo alike. Just call them pieces of "transforming furniture" for those oft-cramped and frequently-moved living spaces.
