I have a small liquor cabinet, I like having a drink station when I have guests over, it makes messes a lot easier to clean up and you don't have people snooping around your entire kitchen looking for club soda or a wine key etc...

Being from a different country, I had only had pizza a few times (age 5 back then)... I decided to make my own pizza with mom's help of course... I used pita bread for the crust, ketchup for the sauce, and american cheese on top. My mom let me bake it–probably laughing whenever she left the room. I ate it a bunch of times apparently and enjoyed it (I was a weird kid)... When I was in college, I had those same ingredients in my fridge and nothing else, so I tried making it thinking, it might be good. I gagged and choked so hard, I couldn't eat (real) pizza for a really long time afterwards...

I too have a small living room... I bought a mid century mersman coffee table like this, it was the perfect size for my tiny space, (I have a sectional but its still so tight.) the coffee table was long but not too wide and I am able to move around just so... http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SEKgGDFiEjQ/T0vgOs7DI_I/AAAAAAAATqQ/i7MSxY27rec/s1600/mers2.jpg

To be honest, what helped me was looking at blogs, etc like AT. Before, I was too thrift store chic with ikea throwing up all over it. While I can't afford a lot of what AT suggests i.e. 150 dollar planters, ridiculously overpriced retro furniture, I had to look elsewhere and get rid of my ikea furniture. I started small by getting MCM relics that were $100 and less. I got a 60s buffet for my record cabinet ($75) instead of the gigantic expedit eyesore, and started getting rid of or finding a place for all my kitchy items. I love hairpin legs or the sexy MCM legs on stuff, it helps add space to a small room and easier to take notice and remove dust bunnies. I also traded in crappy bookcases for handmade ones. my friend had built this gorgeous bookcase and was moving to SF (Im in the midwest) and sold it to me for $40 bucks. I started reducing my clutter which is the hardest. EVERYTHING now has a place. Now I get compliments on my house/decor all the time. It looks warm and inviting. The trick is to start small and commit to buying items for <$100 that are second hand. I love my flawless mersman coffee table <$100! Luckily being an artist and having artist friends has helped me get so many unique art pieces that I normally can't afford for a discounted price or as a housewarming gift!

I really dislike shower gel... I love my Mistral Lychee Rose Bar soap. $7 lasts half a year and makes my bathroom smell wonderful. I buy 3 bars a year, and they make my whole closet AND dresser smell wonderful!
