Is anyone else bothered by the fact that the picture shows someone using the stopwatch function to time their pasta instead of the timer function to let them know when it's done??

Much like many others have said above me living in a a city doesn't just mean access to all of the city events and festivals like you mentioned.

Outside of a city your day would probably be something more like: I drove around for three hours from thrift store to thrift store, then drove home to get my swimming things, then headed to the pool, drove out to the grocery store and then drove that stuff home to put it away, then took the dogs I was dogsitting to the park as the sun went down. When I got home I was exhausted from all the driving.

Living in a city means the things you want to do are right outside your door just a short bike or walk or ride on public transportation away. It's an entirely different kind of living, one I'm still getting used to after recently making the move from the endless urban sprawl of the Orlando-metro area to the compact well-planned downtown area of Portland, OR.

Since I moved two months ago the amount of time I have spent outside has soared while the time spent in my car has fallen to nearly zero. I absolutely love it, and don't even mind that I can not afford to do much that costs money anymore.

You linked to your results.

I'd like to live in Rainbow Dash's castle in the clouds. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5281/5309100267_ce55aee11f.jpg

Face the chairs towards the couch with a coffee table in the middle. Then buy a pink fainting couch and put it in front of the hearth. http://blogmedia.designpublic.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/mm5.jpg

Oh man. This is a cool idea. But my cell phone case also holds my credit card and ID. Imagine if it was also my housekey and I lost everything at once! That would be awful.

@Eclector, yes, you are.

And @ByronAugusta, in what universe is 1650 sq. ft in any way small!?

I am moving from Florida to a studio in the PNW, site unseen in just 30 days. I have never done this before but I did not want to spend one months rent on a week in a hotel, so I did tons of internet research. I made sure I rented from a well-known Property Management company and not an individual. The company I ended up going with I had found through their stellar reviews on Yelp. I did extensive googling and ended up finding that the realtor I had been talking to has actually had her apartment featured here on AT!

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

La Chouffe! My favorite!
