I have to sleep with my back to my futon back, I don't sleep well with my back exposed. I have to have my TV on and my water bottle nearby. Oh, and if it's a real crazy night, I have to fall asleep to movies such as: "And Then There Was None" or "The Red House" or "Agatha Christie's Miss Marple Starring Margaret Rutherford" ;>D Crazy, huh?

The picture of the flowers is a nice one, but it would have been nice to see more revealing pictures of this nice, airy, colorful house. Maya & Jon's "Small Big House" House Call |

@Chana--I love my family and friends, I'm fun-loving, I've lived with mother, cousins, husband, son and friends, and I've compromised and given, so I'm about as far from a hermit as one can get, but living alone is best for me right now. Life can be messy, but I've had enough of messy and that's o.k. because I think I've earned the right to some peace and order. Everyone has to do what is best for them, some of us do.not.want. messy, and that should be o.k. too ;>) The Joys and Drawbacks of Living Solo |

Cleaning may not give as intense a workout as at the gym, but I am a firm believer that every little bit helps. And yes, when you clean your house, it does wonders for the mind and spirit as well. The Surprise Benefit of Spring Cleaning |

Nah!! Not for me. If I could afford but very little in the way of furniture, I'd rather have one piece of decent quality furniture than this. I don't care if I have just one piece of furniture, I'd want that one piece to be nice. And if I have to move, at least I would have just the one piece of furniture to worry about.

I feel like I'm looking at a room in "Downton Abbey". And, believe me, I mean that in a very good way. You go girl. Charlotte's Decorative Arrangement Small Cool Contest |

I like it. It's simple, uncluttered and cute. I love the furball on the back of the couch (I'm talking about you Thorny). It's a nice simple, home with lots of personality. Sarah & Max's Coffee Cup Rule Small Cool Contest |

Oh, I forgot to add that I like Piggly-Wiggly, Pick and Save, and Sendiks. Those are good stores. The Best and Worst Supermarkets Consumer Reports |

I love Outpost (Milwaukee, WI ). Good food, helpful staff, and I love the atmosphere. Outpost is a health-food store, and may be a little pricey, but the food is worth it. The Best and Worst Supermarkets Consumer Reports |

@Fallingup - I like your views on the importance of people over things, but IMHO and life experience, sometimes a tidy environment can contribute to the happy smiles on those faces in the pictures. 5 Strategies for Decluttering a Small Space |

I love it, it's loaded with personality and interesting things. I like the fact that you have real-live wax albums and cds and not just downloads, and I would love to know what music you have in your collection. Jennifer's Eclectic Diary Small Cool Contest |

I love living alone. At the end of a stressful workday I don't have to worry about coming home to somebody elses foul mood. I can keep my house as clean as I want. I can play my black & white classic movies without any criticism. I can open up my home to my friends without having to consult someone to see if it's o.k. I may get lonely every once in a while, but that feeling lasts only for a minute. The Joys and Drawbacks of Living Solo |

When I read the comments before taking the house tour, I was expecting not to like this, but, know what, I love this house because it's very interesting. Yeah, it's a little more cluttered than I would have it, but in this house there's a lot of life. Faith's Magical Bohemian Treehouse House Tour |

I like it. It's very clean and simple and looks very easy to maintain, but I like it. Some vibrant rugs and artwork will really make it sing, though. Natalie & Bart's Clean and Simple Apartment House Tour |

I have lots of housekeeping OCD issues. That's why I would live with my friends as a last resort (I don't want to inflict myself on the poor souls). My curtains have to be puffed out just so; I hate dirty dishes in the sink; I fold my towels so that only the folded part (not the edges) show; my kitchen chairs have be to a certain distance away from the table. One thing, in my defense, is that I would never impose these issues on my friends. “No Wire Hangers!”: Cushy Closet or Padded Cell? |

I knew there was a reason I lived in my back room more than any other room in my house! It's cozy! It has a very comfortable futon; nice, long, full curtains; a lush green plant; my flatscreen tv, and lots of movies and books. Now all I need is an area rug that ties it all together. Oh, and it is tucked in the back of my apartment away from everything. Cozification: 7 Steps to Your Coziest Home Yet |

A two-tier small cherry wood table with cabriole legs in Goodwill that would've worked so well in my tv room. It also went so well with my other furniture. And it was just $9.99!!! I could just kick myself for being so crazy ad short-sighted. Object Lust: What's Your Gem That Got Away? |
