I like that you are using the radiator and windowsill as additional "table space."
Me too!

Love the curtains, the light, the chairs and the table spread.
So adorable and doable!

I'm very proud of one of my friends who squeezed in 4 guests into her tiny NY apartment. One friend shared her bed, 2 were on the sofa bed (she moved the dining table to the side and had no coffee table), and another slept on the floor, on the sofa cushions.
It was easy to clear up, and the 6 of us hung out at her place just fine for a weekend.

I have about 2 x 8 ft of countertop space, but it's been taken over by a basket of fruits, coffee maker, a tea pot, a tray holding the sugar, cream, coffee, hot chocolate, instant coffee & teas. We've also got a cute little thing that stacks our cups.
Then, in another section, a ton of cds, the mail, a few storage containers, cell phone charger.
Other space: some pots & pans, and finally, a tray with the oils, spices and some paper towels.
And, usually whatever condiments or spreads we used that day.
Lately, and randomly, some of my jewelry (bangles, charm bracelet, necklace, watch) in a container.

OMG, that bird is incredible. Wow, I love it! :)

Also, I do like the *idea* of the table, like those long narrow benches with wooden slats that also work as tables for kids...

Oh, it's just lovely. Really great and realistic. :) So sweet and comfortable!

The 2nd, 3rd and last pictures are my favorites. They're just so soft, sophisticated, comfortable and calming...

The couch with all the books behind it: I LOVE it. That's what I have against a wall in my bedroom. I can't say mine looks very artistic, though! I think I could convince my roommate that this can be stylish and not LAZY if I show her this pic! :)

A few weeks ago, I decided to take a trip to NY on Thursday night. I only had Friday afternoon to get it all together. For a Saturday morning flight (um, 5 am).

Since I have a roommate and no pets, I didn't have to worry about the apartment. Had to borrow a carry-on and camera from a neighbor, though! And ask a friend to drive me to the airport.

Since I was only staying until Monday afternoon, I used the same jeans, purse and jacket every day, and packed 2 versatile shirts, 1 pair of shoes, a pair of pj's and slippers.

My purse ended up weighing more than the carry on, as it had my makeup, a book, magazines, hair brush, notebook, pens, snacks, water bottle (bought at the airport), Kleenex, iPod, cellphone, camera, chargers, batteries, toiletries, wallet, ect.

Happily, this meant I had enough space in my carry-on for a bunch of souvenirs and the entire Sunday NY Times.
