I love the couch, the tub, the brick wall (duh), and the double entrances into the kitchen. You've probably thought of this, but I took the doors off my ugly rental apartment cabinets, and I'm loving it! Shelves > ugly cabinets. Matt & Jaime's Handicraft Home House Tour |

A couple years ago, three friends, my boyfriend, and I all rented a 4 bedroom/3 bath in Hyde Park in Chicago. It was the entire 3rd floor and had just recently been remodeled. Stunning kitchen, big living room, big dining room, sunroom (ie guest room), in-unit wash/dry, on top of the 4 beds and 3 baths. All the appliances etc were great quality. It was $2800 for the whole place, ie 560 per person, which was a steal for the quality, city, and neighborhood. Usually places like that refuse to rent to undergraduates (which most of us were), but I think the guy made an exception because it was his only property in the neighborhood, and he just wanted it filled. The best part was that I was the only girl in the group of 5, so I had that near-gourmet kitchen almost to myself. :) Tell Us: What Was Your Best Apartment Deal Ever? |

My favorite apartment was small, had low ceilings, bad lighting - everything you don't want. BUT it had a kitchen with a lot of (granite) counter space, nice appliances, disposal, and best of all, it opened into the living room loft-style, so I could cook and clean while watching tv or my bf playing video games. I cooked more, cleaned more, and had more fun while I did it. Totally worth it. Luxury Trends: Why Do We Think We Need Designer Kitchens? The Salt |

And yes, it's important to keep in mind that there is honeysuckle native to America. But most people think of Asian Bush Honeysuckle, which is the invasive. And I'm pretty sure that the native version doesn't smell as nice, so clearly this article is pointing to the asian variety. 5 Fragrant Plants for a Small Space |

Please don't encourage people to plant honeysuckle! I'd go so far as to say that is irresponsible posting. 5 Fragrant Plants for a Small Space |
