Wow... what a timely post. I just had to put down my chihuahua companion of 13 years at the beginning of this month. I had her cremated and, along with the ashes of my cat, another chihuahua, my dad's dog, and my neighbor's dog, buried them beneath a weeping cherry tree at my new (and first) house. Here's a pic: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ph0enixinflight/6916932188/in/set-72157627044350972

Also, I used some of her ashes (along with some of my cat's) to have some two beads made for a necklace by Jamie's Studio (http://www.jamiesstudio.com/). I haven't received it yet, but wanted to have something more, in case I ever have to move (since I won't be able to take the tree with me).

Doing both of these things has been enough to help me through the grieving process. It takes time, but eventually we make peace with the fact that they are gone. It hurts in the beginning, but then you're just thankful that they are no longer suffering.

Okay... I give... *where* is the front door located!? I love your space and LOVE seeing "teeny-tiny" places featured because I'm trying to get ideas for converting my garage into a livable space. This has the same footprint, but I just can't figure out where you enter!

Again... you have a beautiful space. Thanks for sharing!

Sooo... color me *still* confused! Does this mean that in order to change my iPhone 4S's 72dpi into something print-worthy (to 300dpi), I should "convert to profile CMYK" in Photoshop and then uncheck the "Resample Image" box (as shown above) and change to 300dpi?


What is DPI, PPI and Why Do They Matter?

Yes! I do this too! A couple of things I make with the leftovers: chicken fried rice and chicken and rice soup. Though... I have a question. I make the stock the next day because I remove the chicken from the bone before saving leftovers. This is something my grandmother told me to do, but I'm not sure why. I have it in my head that it goes bad faster if you leave it on the bone, but maybe my grandmother just needed to make stock the next day. Does anyone know if chicken should be removed from bones before refrigerating and, if so, why?

Looks like it may be an old Pyrex removable handle: http://www.shopgoodwill.org/auctions/Vintage-Pyrex-Detachable-Glass--Metal-Pot-Handle-8761976.html

This looks very similar to mine! Putting the couch right up against the wall was to close to the fireplace for comfort. What worked for me was angling the couch. Here's a pic: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ph0enixinflight/6255864694/

Wow... I rarely comment on AT, but your home is beautifully inspirational! And, as most commenters have already pointed out, your use of color and pattern is wonderful! Such a happy space! :-)

Don't care for the shells at all, but would love a source for those blue and green chairs!

Wait... your first instinct would be to put them in a dumpster?! Ideas: Craigslist, Freecycle, your local thrift store.

I'd like more info on the countertops! Getting ready to start my own kitchen remodel and that's exactly what I'm looking for!

Can someone PLEASE tell me the name of that plant!? My BF has it and keeps calling it "alien fingers." But... I don't think that's what it's really named? TIA!

Charise... kinda echoing what everyone else is saying, but it's probably different in each state. In Portland, OR, the occupancy laws regarding informing a landlord of how many people can live in an apartment only applies to those over 18 years of age.

Originally from Florida and the apartment complex had one of these for tennants to use after going to the beach (which was across the street). Excellent idea, depending on where a person lives.

Oh... I'd like to add a 6 (though... there could be so many more):
-apartment-sized appliances.

I just moved into a small studio (420 sq. ft.) and I have HUGE freakin' appliances! I'm a bitty girl and I don't need an oversized refridgerator and stove/oven! I'd COMPLETELY appreciate the smaller/more compact/more energy efficient appliances they make for studios. Seriously... my little patio table and chairs that I'm using in my kitchen would totally appreciate the extra space.

-location/safety
-pet-friendly
-hardwood floors
-smaller complex (yes to neighbors, but not too many)
-reasonable rent!!! (seriously... how much of a profit do you need to make off of me?)

Like a couple of the other posters, I think you've got a gem on your hands! Keeps overspray out of "your" area, and conserves water, too! Wish I had one in my bathroom (for the guys in my life).
