Microwaveless here too...and love it. We just reheat everything on the stove. It really depends on the type of food you eat though. Things like soup and curries are much easier to reheat successfully than hard leftover pizza :) I like the bamboo steamer idea...

MamaChilanga...thanks for asking :) We have a 3 year old daughter who co-sleeps in our bed with us (and always has). She has a play area (as you can see in the photos...a wooden kitchen, craft table, and the toy box which doubles as a coffee table). We also have a nice yard and many parks just a few blocks away.

Wow...I love it. I have had a hard time feeling like I could live in any of the other entries, and yours is just amazing. I love everything. I loved your bedroom when I saw it the first time...I love the glowing effect in the bedroom. I'm a big fan of hanging lights. The dark wall is so dramatic. Fabulous. I love the chandelier in the kitchen too...so great. I'm gushing now...what I'm trying to say is...great job!

My "small space" lightbulb also went on while staying in a hotel room :) Your home is beautiful!

The screen is exactly what my husband is planning for our space. It's fun to see it in practice :) Beautiful, cozy bed. I have the same fabric on some throw pillows. Toile is so great! Beautiful space...well done.

Beautiful!

Those windows are fabulous!

JulieNYC...I actually found it on Target clearance for $4.99!! I'm kicking myself for not buying the other one too.

StrangerFiction...if you think the living room is cluttered now, you don't want to see it after the 3-year old tornado comes through! ha!

Hello everyone...thanks so much for checking out our apt! Here are some answers to your questions:

"i think your 'livingroom' would look a lot bigger without those rugs on the floor, they seem to hide the lines of that beautifulhardwood floor underneath."
The hardwood floors are in need of repair, which is one of the reasons why we chose a large rug. :) It's a rental in a very, very old building that hasn't been taken care of very well. We thought about refinishing them, but decided against using our own money on something we don't own. Also, we are in an upstairs unit...and with a 3 year old who LOVES her tippity tap shoes, we had to keep as much of the floor covered as possible! :) We LOVE the rug and the warmth it brings to the space.

"...plus the guy on the fridge looks cute."
That's my brother. He's single ;-)

"Living so small must be pretty unusual in Bozeman, MT."
Actually...living small is pretty common. It's a college town, and also a town that has insane housing prices.There are large homes as well...as with any community.

"Ppsssst. Maybe take your last name off the floorplan?"
Yes, it would have been nice if they wouldn't have put the entire file on there...but oh well.

"What are those blue and white circles on the green wall we can see through the doorway in the first pic?"
That is my enamelware lid collection.

"i especially love the framed floral piece on the wall--can you give some information on it please?"
It is a Kim Parker print.

"is there space for the whole family to hang out in the living room?"
Absolutely! :) Yes...there is a couch around the corner. I hope that I make it to the finals so I can show you all more photos from different angles. 3 photos was hard to narrow down. We also sit on top of the heater and on top of our toy chest. We've actually had 10 people in there at once!

Thanks again for looking...
