This feels like such a happy space. No wonder your friends like coming over. Great job!

I am a homebody, and I have hobbies and lots of books, and I have lived in places that small. The ones I lived in had smaller kitchens and I still cooked everything from scratch. That kitchen looks huge to me.

While I would change some of the design, I could definitely live there. I do not want a room mate. I want a quiet place I can come home to, by myself. There is a huge market for this. I can afford a bigger place than I have but I am saving to buy a house and socking away a good chunk each month for retirement.

In many places, especially the Midwest where everything is big, there are no small, affordable options.

I love the space overall, but I really like the medicine cabinet in the bathroom. What a great idea!

I like the off-center round mirror. It reminds me of a porthole. Putting the living room at an angle is great. The room doesn't feel boxy.

I'm impressed with your organization! I need to get going now!

I need a table too, for eating and projects. I love that the dining and coffee table are alike. Your apartment seems jut right; not to busy or overdone.

The view really stands out too. It's better than art on the walls, and it changes! I love having green outside my windows.

I love how open and airy it feels, just in the photos! You did a great job with the place. I like that the kitchen cabinets and counter continue into the dining space. Great way to unify them even more!

I too am getting an error message when I try to access their blog. I tried searching for it but get the error message each time. Is it still up?

I too love this idea and I will find a way to do this some day!

You're home is great! I feel your pain about space for painting. I often have more than one going at a time so they tend to take up a lot of room. Your home seems very warm and cozy.

I remind myself at times that I don't need to justify myself to anyone.

When someone asks "why" about my living situation I just tell them, "because I want to," or "I like it." That usually turns the conversation around. People sometimes assume you want the same things they do. Once they hear that I like it they either let it go or they comment on some positives from my choice.

If someone is interested in wanting to know why because they want to know me better or understand I'll explain. Otherwise I don't give reasons. What more do I need to say other than I want to?
