My landlord just switched out the huge sink that was there when I moved in to a much smaller one. I LOVE that my small sink gives me extra counter space. there was a period of adjusting, but I don't miss the monster sink one bit.

I have a 10 year old lego fan for a son. He enjoys building the sets, and he learns new "lego engineering" techniques from the more sophisticated ones. Then he takes the sets apart and builds his own thing using his newly acquired knowledge. Sometimes he asks for sets, not because he likes the characters or the "story line" behind them, but because they have unusual or rare pieces.

My perks include having an affordable place in a neighborhood with a great community school, walking distance to many restaurants and a farmer's market, no utility bills, no snow shoveling, no appliance repair responsibilities, etc. But the best perk is that my landlord gives my son free saxophone lessons. I got really lucky!

Once I moved in to an apartment that did not have OUTLETS OR LIGHT FIXTURES in two bedrooms. I did not check since I assumed most places would have outlets in all rooms. Learned my lesson.

There's a smaller shelf from Urban Outfitters that has a similar style:
