Well I live in a 300 square foot apartment currently and don't find it to be terribly small. I have enough room for a queen bed, dresser nightstand and floor mirror in my bedroom, a small couch, desk and bookshelf in my livingroom, and a table that seats four in my kitchen. What I'm saying is that you probably don't need a lofted bed to maximize space as long as you don't have an excessive about of possessions. However I am a fan of the look of lofted beds and say go for it if you can find a nice one and have the ceiling height.

Photograph the current paint job, take precise measurements and then paint over it with whatever you prefer. Just paint that hideous thing back onto the wall before you leave.

The thing that strikes me is the brick ceilings. I've never seen brick ceilings before. Is that really what they are or am I reading that wrong?

You could try raw food websites. People who eat raw use dehydrators as their ovens. There's a plethora of really creative dehydrator recipes out there. One of my favorite sites is www.rawmazing.com/. The recipes are very straightforward and the photography is great.

I know you can buy them frozen in the asian grocery stores so it seems that you would also be able to freeze them.

I'm native American. Alaska native to be exact. My people sell plastic totem poles made in China out of their gift shops in the native villages. Right after they stage a phony welcoming potlatch for the bus load of Japanese and american tourists straight from the cruise ship. The plastic totem poles aren't even an accurate depiction of the traditional native imagery. So how's that for cultural appropriation.

I'm in the earplugs eye mask club. Cheep and highly efficient. And no altering of the space which will not retain the character I'm assuming you choose it for after you cover all the openings and staple egg crate to the walls.

I would replace the sink entirely. It's simple. Watch a tutorial on YouTube. You can find cheap sinks at habitat for humanity's restore that would be much better than the one that is in there. And the project won't be too much more difficult than painting the current vanity.

What's with all you people? This place is beautiful. Why does everyone think you need a ton of stuff? It's such a wasteful, consumptive attitude! And people tend to forget that space is a very important element especially in a studio.
