It's total cruelty and vandalism and it doesn't even look good.
I hope the sansui survived.

You can put the kind of laminate over it, that you don't have to glue ('click' laminate?).
It's easy to remove and doesn't harm the crappet.. eh carpet.

Maybee a low shelf as divider at the footend of the bed & two or three beanbags for the sitting area? They are less massive than a big sofa.

You seem to have at least two side tables.
An aditional big coffee table could be too much and take away the openness. I'd leave it just as it is.

Maybe that's the thing: you dream more of & make cooler plans for real special occasions.

Most of my friends here in Germany use about 2/3 of their plentiful long vacation to do all the unfunny things (garden , house repairs , ...) they didn't manage to do all over the years :(

Ps. If I were free to choose, I'd live in 600 sf of my own. Or 900 for the two of us + cat. (Maybe after graduation...)


How Much Square Footage Do You Require?

I agree with several posters before: the impression how big an apartment seems to be depends not only on the square feet but mostly on the layout.

I still miss our <600 sf space under the roof, it felt much bigger - and more 'open' - than our actual 640 sf.

We had a nice massive shelf in the corner next to the door in our old bathroom. We simply bought a big squared littlerbox that exactly fit under/in it. So the box was shielded from three sides.

In our new apartment we simply put the litter box under the bathroom sink. Not beautiful but the only free space left for it.

I am a planner, discarder and prepacker - in theory. But since my last 5 moves were with my long term partner, they grew more and more unorganised. Chaos is spreading ;)

Although I personally can't stand pink, this is not about hate.

I just can't accept the social color of little princesses, barbie and quite every other piece of plastic junk ever made for female children as a manly color. - Especially considering a post that mentions cojones.

@donkey: nope, i think all people are mostly red/pink on the inside. ;) So it may pass as the color of intestines?

In my opinion - pink is NOT keeping your cojones.

Nowadays I store screws and nails in them at my shelf in the garage.
Besides I think there's nothing wrong with drinking from old jars - we did that when I was a kid.

# Love your apartment - the green rocks!
# coffee table:
I don't know wheather you are into d.i.y. but two polished up pieces of a treetrunk would make it look a little bit more...eh....vintage.
Or simply the elliptic e1 coffee table from Peter Boy Design if you totally want to go on with the black&white style.

Hi @all,
since I herited a small apartment from my father I am landlord and renter. Which lead to me willingly replacing the f**ked up old bathroom, flooring & kitchen cabinets and turning the place into someplace I'd like to live in (aside from that it would be to small for my spouse and me).
On the other hand I rented lots of shitty apartments while studying and I'm sometimes asking myself, wheather I am nuts paying some stupid pricey renovations as one can obviously rent out every pile of shit in the city I live in.

PS: I wouldn't chance the tiling of a bathroom like that. Paint it in a bright colour & enjoy. Kitch for the win!
