building on rmsu's idea, why not hang a tension rod at the doorway between the LR and hall with a curtain on it. just pull it across when you want to cut the noise down. Sound Dampening Tricks for Noise Within Apartment? Good Questions |

first, thanks for the link to the dish rack. i found two other things that will be great for me and for gifts in the progressive line. storing my dishrack is a problem, so it's always on my tiny counter. 5 Collapsible, Foldable, and Space-Saving Tools for Small Kitchens |

formal dining rooms, pocket doors, cable television, washer and dryer, bedroom furniture sets, ruffled bedding, dollhouses, attic playrooms, basement playrooms, vcr's, computers, and i once went to a classmates and was impressed by the kitchen. the linoleum was white with sage accent and the counter stools were also sage. they were all redheads. that struck me as quite something.

it's not cabinets vs. shelves. it's spacing the shelves so you have as many as you would in the cabinets. stores just as much, just isn't hidden. Small Kitchen? Outline It With Paint! Kitchen Inspiration |

why can't you stick to your original plan? even if the a/c weren't there you would have the windows open during the day. so place the curtain rod the full width of the room instead of only across the windows. So one curtain sticks out a few inches when they're drawn? so what? and you can hang pale sheers when the drapes are pulled back that filters the light a bit and covers the a/c.

calling this selection "best" is extremely dubious. but i understand how such a change makes a difference. i have a beautiful blue/yellow striped one from macy's that looks amazing in natural light. but my current place doesn't get any natural light in the bathroom, so i bought this one and it really lightened up the feeling in that tiny room: Cool Showers: 10 Best Shower Curtains |

not so heavenly. nice but also very over the top. luxury is not necessarily relaxing, especially full-time. it sounds like a lot work to keep everything 'just so.' "Girl Heaven": Tom's Apartment On Parks & Recreation |

there's a limit to how much pleasure piecemeal shopping can give you. when i first got to nyc i discovered the shopping mall's greatest virtue is consolidation of so many outlets in one place. it's exhausting to chase retailers all over town, even in a city with so many outlets of the same stores. and then all the time spent in lines... i live within a block brooklyn fare market and also four corner markets. that puts me halfway between a key foods and pathmark. the best deals are usually at key foods and pathmark. but the lines at pathmark are usually pretty robust. any weeknight it's packed. sometimes the idea of going there, shopping and then walking the 10 minutes home is just too much.
