thank you :) @akay

Oh how my style has change since my first place. I have always been passionate for decorating, but have just had a mental block until I came across this site! I am obsessed! I cant say too many things I have learned because my apt's have been pretty empty due to lack of budget for decorating...but I have learned to be patient and allow myself time to build up the apt's furniture and accessories with making sure I will not regret it down the road. My first apt I had a huge over-sized black couch from Craigslist, and a rug way to small for the living room and random decor pieces that I now see as dreadful. I have done research of what works for spaces and now I am learning specific techniques to incorporate in my tiny 400 sq ft apt. I feel like I am more aware and in touch with my style now. The small cool spaces contest on here really helped me get an idea of how to fix it up! Thanks guys! Soo creative!

Ugh living in an apartment like mine, makes it pretty hard to avoid people. Which sucks cause that is my goal in life... being soo socially awkward and all, plus, having social anxiety. I always run to my apt if I am outside and shut my door and make a "ahhhh sound, and exhale" When I take my pups potty in the dog pin, I wear sunglasses and avoid looking at anyone sitting on their porch. My fiance and I just moved from a quiet huge corner apt where we only had on neighbor next to us on the top section...and that was nice cause we barely ever made contact. Now, we downgraded to a small one bedroom in the same apts, diff building, and we are smack dab in the middle...neighbors on each side of us, across from us, etc. On one side is a grumpy old man who sits in his thousand year old rocking chair and has never once looked or said a word to us :P and I am scared to say anything to him. On the other is a nice middle aged women with a beautiful porch garden which makes our porch look good!
