It's getting there - still missing art on walls and plants hanging everywhere I can manage, plus there are boxes lying about. Don't even ask about the bedroom that I'm turning into a closet. It's a freaking scary place right now.
That said, omg you GUYS. I am in LOVE. I love my house, I love living alone, I love not living with some fartface leaving his shit lying everywhere and being a general jerkbag, I love it love it love it.
still needs art, and the bright ass light is actually a light green lamp. board games on the floor are going somewhere as soon as I figure something out...
futon - temporary sleeping situation. Not sure what I'm going to do here. I think I'll get maybe a daybed? This room is functioning as my bedroom and office (work from home) and livingroom all in one (the previous picture is the other side of the room).
I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS IS UPSIDE DOWN.
Bathroom. I want to paint it hot pink but that's probably insane.
Damn you tinypic, why are these upside down??
Storage-challenged kitchen. This would work well for someone who doesn't cook. That person is not me. But I think it'll work pretty well once I figure out how to deal with zero counter space (minus my butcher block).
Dining room/plant room and this is also where I keep my dishes because...well..there's nowhere else to put them. Getting a rug tomorrow. I don't like the table against the wall, but putting it in the center of the room is a challenge.
Super cute! Can you get one of those kitchen carts on wheels for more prep space?

I have one (you can kind of see it sticking out with a beer glass drying on it), and on the other side of the wall is this shelf-like thing that goes up and down (so you don't always have to have it out) that adds a lot more space for putting things, like all the pies I will make. Unfortunately you cannot open the fridge when it is up. LOL. Poor planning, fools.
I love it! I so want a cottage of my own now! That fish above the futon in your bedroom/office is really cute! You have great style.
One thing to think of with the hot pink bathroom, if you apply your makeup in there the light will bounce off the walls and you won't be able to see the colors of your makeup or skin properly. What about a light pink paint with hot pink details? Or painting the ceiling hot pink?
Thanks! I have a bunch of these little metal animals, they come from Mexico and I get them when I'm in Texas.
We are on the same page regarding the hot pink. Like, I think I would love it in theory, but I think it would look really bizarre (like I NAILED IT) if it's not done absolutely right. I don't do my makeup in the bathroom, though, it gets done in my scary bedroom/closet/dressing room/laundry room...so maybe I will just do it and see what happens. My stuff in there is orange, fuschia/hot pink, and white. I don't know what else would work well...
Also, Apartment Therapy usually has some great ideas on adding storage to tiny spaces.
Have you ever submitted anything to their forums? I am considering submitting something to them for the bedroom. It's like the tiniest room and there is NO closet, so I have no idea where my clothes should go and right now I'm just turning it into a girly dressing room/craft room/closet. Well, actually right now it is full of shit that doesn't have a home. IT CANNOT STAY THIS WAY.

Doc, you SHOULD! I'm having a sweet 16 X 2 girly ass slumber party on my birrrrrrthday! Me and ten or so of my girlfriends are going to do crafts and braid hair and act ridiculous. And drink better than we did at 16. You are more than welcome!
