I have the Alen T300 filter which is amazing. Not as pretty as their Paralda line, but probably just as functional if not more.

I guess I commented too much... Oh well, if someone asks a question I am going to answer it.

Hopefully everyone enjoys our space. Feel free to ask questions about appliances or workarounds. I kind of think that it's our job to share our experiences since our place came together (not design wise, but functionality wise) so well.

Btw, we are both the nerdy type so you can ask us techie questions too.

We really wanted to work in pics of the dogs, but they wouldn't stay still. And yes, we have 2 cute little dogs :)

Mr. Dangerous, yes it is small. But surprisingly, it doesn't feel claustrophobic at all. It helps that Central Park is only a block or two away.

Stephanie, the fishing poles are hidden in a small gap next to the shower. You can't see it from the angle in the pics. They are visible from within the shower if you are looking for them.

AZKathy...they are REALLY hidden. For instance, we have two tennis rackets in the gap between the kitchen wall and the last cabinets. There was a 5" filler section which is hollow, so we are using it. It's accessible from the top.

Baskets are from Ikea.

FYI, my wife is a chef so the full kitchen was a requirement for us.

This is the ConServ CT380Z fridge. Purchased directly from Equator Advanced Appliances (The manufacturer/importer) in Houston, TX.

Sparkle, I think we will enter this year's contest. We had to be quite creative with a lot of our apartment, and everything is transformer-ish / dual purpose, or small. We have lots of electronic gadgets and all of our toys (snowboards, rollerblades, tennis rackets, fishing poles, rockband guitars, etc) all tucked away. A lot of the special appliances / electronic gadgets we use are fairly new or at least unusually small. Example, wireless router from Cradlepoint instead of a linksys router..it's the size of a pack of cards and has more functionality, such as load balancing, GPRS capability, and failover. Another example is the Substage 100 subwoofer I hid under our folding table that integrates with our Yamaha YSP 4000 media center for nice sound and A/V switching in a small wall mounted package. Everything from our murphy bed and couch down to the latest generation of 24"x24"x80" refrigerator/freezer combo direct from the manufacturer was researched ahead of time. We had to search for about 3 months before finding a tub/shower combo to fit in our space, and then spent another 3 months importing it from China. I'm really excited about this contest and might even make a website to feature the appliances which make our apartment possible. I don't think we are missing anything really....we have a full kitchen too because my wife is a chef.
