I am pretty sure the only other place that picture of a buck would work is an old, damp, dingy, 1960's wood-paneling basement!! Ha! It works well in this space, oddly enough! Very unique is really the only word that fits here (and unique is a GOOD thing).

Good point, Good Looking. I didn't really think of college gifts, etc. I REALLY love the lavender scent, the basil is so good, too. Now I want to gift them to myself!

I think that I would be offended/feel that I offended someone if a "gift" was cleaning products. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Mrs. Meyer's products, but as a gift? I would have loved to see Cuppow on this list, I love that product with everything I have!!

OMG. I seriously was so giddy looking through your place!!! We have to be long lost friends/sisters!! Everything in your sweet little place is just my style! When I hit the picture with the "Perfect Mason" jar, gold painted knickknacks, the respiratory poster, and the loose tea kettle, I went over the edge in happiness! It was a joy to look through your little place of happiness and I am about ready to go through the pictures again! Thanks for sharing! Love it!

I ditto the comment for being a sucker for a colorful house!! I love this house. I know stringy lights get a bad wrap, but these are not done in a tacky-college-dorm way. I think they add a lot to an already wonderful space! The dogs face in the mirror in the first picture is priceless!!

A poster wrote: "It's just a flag." Really? Wow. I suppose the thousands who died (and their families) for the freedom to say that may think differently. Anyway, aside from the flag (that is beautiful by the way) hanging as a curtain, I love this space. I love the layout and the design.

@Charlie-I wanted to live in the mental picture that I had of your place! Sweet sorrows, yes, we are all blessed to be able to have the privilege to complain about our not-so-perfect home, when others do not even have a place to call home. I do envy the neighborhood cats sunning themselves in your backyard, I would probably feed them and have every neighborhood cat knocking at my door!

Good luck in your new place. It's seems to me, by your attitude, that you will have no problem making your new place "home."

I love reading all of these comments! When I was 19 or 20 I moved into a small rear apartment that was attached to a very old house. So much character, claw-foot tub (that I never really appreciated until I moved out), and a old kitchen light that used to scare the bejesus out of me. Amazing windows that opened in. I LOVED that little place, that is when I met my future husband, now ex-husband. I only lived there for six months on my own and then we decided to move in together (ahhh, life lessons) and we found a nice place, but nothing ever compared to my own place.

I lived there all that time and never had money for cable, so on moving day I decided to hook the wire into the back of my TV, just to see what would happen. Sure enough, cable was wired and working through the entire apartment!

I have been divorced for 3 years now, I have an 11 year old son and we now live in a medium sized, no character townhouse in-town. I long to have a place all my own with as much character as I have life experience!

I agree with most of these, especially the shower head, who knew such a small change can equal such luxury! I do have to disagree with the flowers, two cats + fresh flowers = mess & stress!!

The toilet paper is going the wrong way :) I love the color in the bedroom. This place feels very peaceful!

@annie-o- I cannot tell you how much I loved your comment! Imagine a world where REAL conversations take place, not what happened on Real Housewives! This is such a fun space, very well done!

Great space! 11 people in there? Kudos! I love the shower curtain, and since I am a sucker for detail, I love the door knob on the bathroom door!

I am honestly speechless! Amazing that it is even possible to create a living space in 136sq ft. I don't know how you did it, but you did it well! Honestly, it would be hard for me to get out of bed with that window there. I would spend all day (and night) lying in bed staring out onto the street and people watch!! Love it!

How is it possible to have that much space with 525sq ft to work with?? A full size stove and a dishwasher? I love it, very well done!! I happen to love the "R's" all around your space, too, since my name is Robyn, I am always looking for that letter!
