I find my table super practical! (I'm the last photo.) I keep coasters, chargers, sewing notions, tools, and office supplies in the drawers -- anything small, basically, works great because you don't have to look in a very large area. They're also perfectly sized for CDs or old Nintendo game cartridges.

Many universities auction stuff like this off -- Texas does, and I suspect most other schools (certainly state schools) would too.

Aww, I had photos of my ex at my apartment when I got together with my current boyfriend. But then, the current and ex boyfriends already knew each other.

I asked my boyfriend, and he said that he did really like my apartment, and liked seeing that I was creative.

I joked that clearly the shape your apartment is in doesn't matter, as I started dating him. ;)

Where I live, decorating your house with a lot of burnt orange is known as "being a Texas fan." :D

Where is the poll option for I have looked but always feel really guilty afterward?

@dunklekatze & @mirandabee -- Thank y'all! And yeah, my boss didn't understand why I wanted it: "But it's... a map. An OLD map. And it's huge." I was so nervous to ask for it (I had only been there a couple weeks) but I'm so glad I did.

My biggest piece of art is a map they were going to throw away at an old job I had (it was in the office of a guy who quit, and they were finally cleaning out his office months later). Why he had a map from the UT Geography department, I don't know -- I was working for Texas at the time, but in a whole other capacity. But it was free and it's huge and I love it.

That's it hanging in my old apartment.

I agree with megnez & iheartmini -- your neighbors don't pay your mortgage, they don't get a say. And seriously, that house is amazing.

As for property values -- is there really proof that this lowers them? And what is your obligation to help your neighbors sell their houses? I'm in favor of like, rules about not having grass that's knee-high or not letting your pool turn into a pond, but those things are health risks.

That fabric is GORGEOUS; any chance people know where it's from?

Also, I have never yet lived in an apartment with a window in the bathroom. That is one of those nice perks I have not been able to trade up to.

I haven't used fabric markers -- how would they look if you lightly pencilled in your design first, then drew over the lines? My freehand skills are pretty awful.
