It looks like it in the floor plan... I could be wrong...

I recommend Burke instead of Saarinen. Looks really similar and still vintage, but WAY cheaper. I got a table and 6 chairs for under $500.

There is no room for a sofa or bath, but it looks like there is a bidet? This is where Americans differ on our necessities, I think. ;)

Seriously, this is very clever and got my vote, even if I would have to give up my record collection to live there!

veg·e·tar·i·an
/ˌvejiˈte(ə)rēən/

A person who does not eat meat, and sometimes other animal products, esp. for moral, religious, or health reasons.

Everyone is right, everyone is wrong. Some vegans eat honey, or lanolin, some don't... words, words, words...

When I was pregnant, I was just pregnant. You don't need to announce it to the world... believe me, they'll know!

But if that is your style, go for it. Not mine.

It is kind of like taking a bedazzler to a Pucci dress. Sorry.

It has a Milo Baughman kind of a look, which is awesome! Who knows though. Save it and enjoy it!

Yeah, I see more sugar complaints here than I do in the dessert posts and this is from FRUIT. Sheesh!

Oh I don't know, I actually think it is kind of cute. If you are careful in doing it maybe it wouldn't collect so much dust.

I also think a dash or two of a vibrant color might help... could be as simple as a bright yellow tea kettle, but you can figure out what is right for you. Also plants or fruit really would help make things seem more lively.

heather.moore.372019 - Thanks for sharing that! I didn't know. It always bothers me that so many apples at the grocery store are covered in wax! Are human beings that stupid that they only like shiny things?

I don't think people are opposed to the idea of being sexy. I think it is the implication that you are supposed to change yourself when you enter a relationship. How about trying to be the best of yourself (and that includes grooming and such) whether or not you have a partner?

Ummm... Rob cheated on Laura in High Fidelity, apart from other signs that he was severely emotionally immature. If you love someone and spend the rest of your life with them, you are gonna see a HELL of a lot worse than enlarged cotton underwear.

YES! DO THESE NOW! Some will become a lot harder to fit in when the little one comes along. Try and make sure when you do have the baby that you take time to do these things as well, even if you need a babysitter to do them!

I did this recently with a couch. If you don't have your own truck, plan for costs of renting a u-haul and/or taking friends out for dinner and drinks. Probably adds another $50 to the cost.

I know some people who didn't even want to go to these type of gatherings because they knew they would get questions like, "What do you do?" or "Are you seeing anyone?" Things like this can be stressful for several reasons... many people are unemployed, or doing something just to pay the bills. Very few people I know actually find their identity in their line of work. Maybe someone just got dumped or is going through a divorce. It is hard to start conversations with strangers about your struggles.

SouthLoopFoodie knows what's up.
