When does this contest start because everywhere I go it says contest closed. THX!

lol I have always detested that TV commercial. I still own some of my casettes;VHS and eight tracks as well. We are almost finished replacing to DVD/CD's the ones we still cannot live without. In fact we are almost finished with a complete whole house organizing project.My husband was the one most insistant about this all at once project. Myself; I have OCD so our home never looks Bad. "Mr Insistent" does not want to part with anything!! lol

As a former nurse and a nurse with a degree in interior design. Now that I am disable my first three main hobbes Reading; web researching and watching tv. I know all of the "rules" of design and I have found that after moving into a tiny apartment sometimes the "rules" are made for much bigger homes. Long story short I did sell the bigger furniture and bought an apartment size sofa and two regular sized (not small and not over sized) recliners. The 42" TV sits in a corner and there is a 6-10 ft space from the TV. Broke the rules but we are comfortable and happy!

Awesome!!! Thanks for posting!

I was born in the mid 50's. By the time I was in Jr High my parents bought their final home and it seemed ok to me at the time anyway. It was the size of give or take a few ft of any other house in the subdivision. It was brand new with brand new appliances and some furiture (not all) One bedroom was the norm back then but is was right next to Mu Mom and Dad's bedroom. I recently while cleanout the papers of my late father and the sq footage of that house was 740 sq ft!!! We had huge family get togethers all of the time and it was normal; just like most other kids houses!! (at the time) Oh, and I was an only child. That would make a huge difference I would think; although I had neighbors who had more kids in the same size house!

Red and yellows for the living areas; blues and greys for a master with some browns..taking a guess regardinf the nedroom as those color combo's have never been my style. My bedroom now is in earthtones and I still adore it.

Also how about some articles regarding The "normal" sized Ranch Style Homes. Our house was built in 1987 and was approx 1200 sq ft. (we were the second buyers) It had 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. We partially finished off the basement for a fourth bedroom. Why does every article seem to go extreme with all of these mega mansions or 100 sq ft. houses? Just curious.

I own a smartphone because I have to; in this day and age. I hate it. I use it for talking on the phone because everyone we know is lon sistance and all of us have the same carrier. So we get to talk for free. My complaint: I am not old old but my vision isn't what it used to be and Verizon does not have one phone with the quewrty keyboard that I can see. So I am one customer who uses it sinply to make calls; because my huband decided we didnotneed a land line any longer...and I really miss my landline

All of the books from "Apartment Therapy" because this is the best blog on the market about living in a small space. Three years ago I just gave up a bigger place (house) and now live in a small place becuase of an unexpected disability.
Most apartment books only look at the "space of living in an apartment. That said it would be nice if someone would write a book about "HOW" to live in an apartment when you are used to living in your own home. Sometimes the noise in an apartment can be "lethel" and we live in a nice place and do not wieh to start a war with the new neighbors...a book or two about readjusting after moving from house to apartment in a "rural" area. No big city; just a "big Town"

Well as a retired nurse I watch what I want to watch whenever I want to watch it. That said; when I did work; we did not have cubicles for that matter or nary an empty room to watch TV in peace for even a few minutes let alone a full hour. Pts do not sleep at night!

I am a bit overwhelmed by all of the purple in this room. Also it has too much fruniture; keep it simple; if less furniture; the purple would not br do overwhelming. Good luck!
