Put some castors on it

Am I the only one that thinks the layout of this home is totally strange? The bathroom is practically the same size as the living space, and the way the closet and bedroom are separated by the bathroom is inconvenient (how do you get dressed in the morning if your partner is using the toilet and wants privacy?). For a space that small the laundry area is massive.

Also, obviously, the dining room is a problem.

You might also try Tricia Guild if you are looking for something similar, but I don't think this is one of hers.

This is an old post but it inspired me to try out the alto treads on my own staircase, and I just wanted to say that they are great. The price was $42/tread which included the adhesive. Total cost was reasonable (We looked at hand knotted stair runners that would have run us almost $2000, the treads were a third of that). Once they have been affixed they are not a tripping hazard, and as long as you are not running up and down your stairs (which isn't really safe anyways) there should not be a problem. And they look great!! And are so soft!! Thumbs up.

I cat sat a pair of cats for 6 months, and near the end one of them ran off. I gave his description to the SPCA, and made Lost Kitty postings on Craigslist. 3 months later I thought he was gone forever but another CL user posted that they had found a cat and contacted me thinking it was the one I had lost, and it was! So 3 months later he came home. It was insane. I told my friend right away after he took off and she was very understanding, and (obviously) even more excited when he came back. Good luck!

I like the clouds too!

I'm all for making staircases more interesting, and murals can be cool if done right, but I don't think this does much for the space.

I like them.

I was considering a garbage disposal for a while as a way to avoid throwing food waste into the trash can (which made me feel very guilty) but after doing some research decided against it. The food is ground up and out of your sight faster, and no it doesn't go to a landfill, but it does put more stress on the systems filtering and cleaning the water which uses more energy/resources (= not green).

Instead I got a worm bin and keep it on the balcony. It's small, not smelly, and in the end the food scraps become nutritious soil for my plants. The City of Vancouver (Canada) has a program that provides you with a small ventilated bin, 500 red wiggler worms, a bag of 'brown layer' (straw and shredded newspaper), a book on worm bins, and a 1 hours class on how to do it all... just for $25. Vancouverites can contact City Farmer for more info.
