Ah! I was crushing on that couch in the original post. I thought it was vintage for sure. Not too bad in price either!

I'm in love! The squatty radiators. The windows with the bare wood. Minimalist white kitchen. Storage bed. Most of all the bathroom with all that shelving along the wall and the sweet square toilet!!

I guess you either don't use fans or don't mind taking them apart to clean. Ease of cleaning is what appeals to me!

NY is really something. So stupid.

And Flickr looks like crap! I just got my contacts email and it's like looking into a black hole! I guess the trade off for the bad design is now you don't have to PAY to post photos. Way to ruin a site that was already fading!!

Yes, I guess that would be true. Bad feelings for the ex as opposed to the good feelings towards someone who has passed. Sorry for you loss.


Things Fall Apart: Living Alone in a Space After a Breakup

I don't know. A lot of elderly people deal with it when their spouse dies after many years. I don't think they would so much be moving furniture around and all that. I think you could learn to just get along with the way things are eventually. You have no choice.

And I agree with zrossiter...I've seen a similar situation...where neither one could afford to be on their own and have to live it out together. The modern economic climate is just wonderful, isn't it? NOT.

My husband and I have been doing this for years! We rented a two story cottage in the woods for three years in a row for our anniversary in November. It was nestled in next to a creek with no neighbors in sight. It was perfectly outfitted in vintage throughout. Red kitchen and all! It went up for sale and now is not up for rent anymore but the site where we found it has plenty of others available with any amenity you want or don't want. Run by a management company so you're not dealing with individual homeowners.

I would take seclusion over someone doing my laundry any day of the week!

Parts of this looks terrifying! I am a convicted plant killer. Even hens and chicks. Just bought at big pot of them to try again this year. Will pin this for future reference when I'm panicking mid summer! :)

Ooh! Folk art! Love your chicken bucket and RA polar bear. Finster, too! Great space. Excellent job of decorating with art in a small space.

Major was Deacon and Kelly's baby's name on the sitcom King of Queens years ago. I guess they were ahead of their time!

Novogratz...I think NOT.

Thank you for the suggestions! I decided on Rustoleum Ultra Cover Matte Clear. It says "non-yellowing" and "UV Resistant", so that's good. Thankfully we are in the shade so sun fade shouldn't be to much of a problem. I've got a bucket of hens and chicks at the ready!

Thanks Regina for putting it up so fast! I love AT!!! :)
