Arg... I've been looking for the "Before" for months.

"Concerns about batteries inside the lock system running out are allayed by the availability of a good old fashioned mechanical key function." In other words, you still need to bring your keys with you. Aaannnd hackers can get into your house. No thank you.

LOVE the little stenciled table - saving that for a "someday project." Not crazy about the farm table, though. We have one in our backyard that looks almost the same, except the legs aren't painted. I love it... feels very natural. The painted legs look too artificial to me.

I second the vote for rolling + packing cubes. I thought the cubes would add bulk, but they somehow make everything smaller! Plus I like that they keep everything together and you can lift the whole thing out and use it as a drawer liner in your hotel.

Beautiful! Source for bed pillows & shams, please! (The black squiggly pillow and the shams with the greenery.) I also want to know where you got those "guest" toothbrushes!

I agree that small is relative, but the question, "Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space" seems ridiculous when you look at an entry like this. I can't imagine that there are a lot of spatial challenges to living in a place like this (unless you have 4 dogs or triplets).

(That said, I did appreciate the poster's answer to that question.)

I think there's a closet beneath the ladder to the upper loft. It looks like there's a cube fridge between the kitchen and the living room. And I suspect the toilet is in the bathroom, but not on the floorplan.

Great post. More of these, please! (It works for everyone on the forum - those with money and those without)

I do love the French idea of wearing sexy lingerie every day (it makes you look sexy no matter what you're wearing, since you have a little underwear secret), but I too rarely follow it. Big, soft, well-washed cotton undies are just so much more comfortable than little bits of stretchy lace. But I'm trying. I did throw out all of my worst "period underwear" when my (now) husband and I moved in together. But in time, most underwear turns into period underwear.

I couldn't even read what you wrote because I was all "PANCAKES!!!"
