I'm a big fan of the kind of repurposing that you have done. As a dedicated small space dweller - I've gone from ...

I don't peel. I just scrub. I always heard that most of the nutrients are in the peel, so I figured I had better eat it!

I'm with Heidz. "Omnivore" is the more correct term. Just ask Michael Pollan!

What a comfortable looking place. I could totally live here :)

I could rent a whole house in many cities for the $1200 a month I pay to live in a ramshackle 300 square foot studio guest unit in Santa Monica. But I like my place a lot and try not to dwell on th...

I have a watch-cat who investigates all noises. And we think the royal we is nearly always a bit off-putting.

Definitely crocheted. And not for me. I hate rope lights as it is and wish they would just go quietly away!

First things first: low carb is NOT "carb free." All vegetables are a source of carbs, and hey guess what? Most non-starchy vegetables are both low carb and good for you. And yeah, pol...

Living alone, I find myself eating dinner at my desk most nights. Which is stupid, because I have a dining table - it just never occurs to me to use it unless I have visitors!

I think it's beautiful. Well done!

For some reason, I've always been blessed with snorers for partners. Thus, I'm a huge believer in separate sleeping quarters.

Emily, thanks for this! I have 12x10" of counter space in my new place - seriously. That's twelve by ten inches . I had no idea these things existed - you just improved my kitchen experience ...

As a pedestrian in L.A. - yes, I walk wherever I can - I've definitely noticed more bicyclists. The downside? Generally speaking, they're just about as considerate as the stereotypical L.A. driver....

My first instinct was YEAH, because I can never use all my fresh herbs before they go bad. But then I realized these aren't herbs but "spice blends" - in other words, blended with things like sugar...

"not enough room in here to swing a cat" My place is ~300 square feet. I have a cat. It's cozy.

How funny, I don't care for tomatoes at all, but I *love* the scent of the foliage! I'd totally try the leaves if I had proof that they were not poisonous.

Hey, that's my old kitchen up there! Oh how I miss it. But I don't miss cleaning the floor - as spanky said, even for a non-neatnik like myself that floor was hard to maintain.

I like this, clutter and all! It looks comfortable, well-used, and cheerful.

Red wine is something I had to teach myself to like - and now I love it. Tomatoes are something I will never learn to like. And I'm just fine with that!

I buy organic when it's an available option. I wish it was the norm, but we're not there yet.
