I feel your pain. I had the same problem and it sounded like the floor was going to give way. The good news is that most people lose interest in the treadmill soon after getting it. My upstairs neighbor still has it but never uses it. It's possible that you might have the same luck I did. That said, if she's just an all around bitch I would do the letter to her and then to the landlord/management. If you think she might be a reasonable person I would approach her and see if she's willing to come into your space and experience the horror herself. A normal person would take you up on your offer and would realize the noise is unreasonable. Neighbor's Treadmill Noise: Help ! Good Questions Flag this comment	12/11/12 11:10 AM

I would take the ceiling fan down. I don't care if they are useful, they are hideous. I would not put any pulls on the cabinets. The cabinets are fine. Maybe some nice art over the sink?

I guess some of you have very limited exposure to others living arrangements. I live in SF and see situations like this all the time. I think it's creepy that anyone would even think this set-up is inappropriate. Since the ceilings are low, I would get a bunk bed like the Ikea Kura. The 10 year old on the top bunk since they weigh the least. Also a chair bed, like the Ikea PS Lovas. The most challenging thing is the study area. Everybody I know that went to law school had a pretty big area for studying and they were usually messy.... Good luck. How Do I Furnish This Really Small Room?

Sounds great. I would skip the sugar-free Carmel goo... I would happily eat salmon on a plane. I find most food smells acceptable if not pleasing. Perfume, cologne, etc. make me sick. I doubt most of you consider that when spraying your perfume to "freshen up" before landing. Would You Eat the World's Healthiest Airplane Meal?
