If you’ve moved to Bulgaria (or you’re planning to) and you’ve just bought an apartment or house, the exciting part is about to start: turning an empty space into a home! Then reality hits. Where do you buy furniture? Who installs the kitchen? How long does everything take? What do you do if you’re not in Bulgaria full-time?
