I have a problem with the idea that children should be paid to do things (chores, cooking, etc) that are part of normal family life. And why would we teach kids that these things -- dishes, cooking, helping parents -- are *jobs*, and not very normal household activities? 8 Mistakes Parents Make With Allowance Deseret News |

Quite frankly, I love the "fuck it" sign. I also wouldn't be friends with anyone who would legitimately be offended. It might actually work as a nice litmus test... Kristin's Hollywood Home in the Historical Il Borghese House Tour |

I live in Allston, but I'm 24 and a law student (i.e. I'm poor). The only reason I can tolerate it is because my building is all condos and I rent a unit. My neighbors are quiet, nice, and generally pleasant -- this is rare in Allston. The only undergrads are in the basement. Insider Advice: 5 Tips on Finding the Right Neighborhood |

TKPKgirl -- there's living in 600 square feet (which isn't too tiny), and then there's living in a space so small that one needs a twin-sized murphy bed out of necessity. Sources for Small Bedrooms & Studios Weekend Shopper's Guide |

I live in a studio. It's 300 square feet. My bed faces the door, is in the corner, and is against a wall. I don't see why this might be taboo. In fact, it looks a lot like #3. Taboo Bed Placements That Actually Work |

A neighbor down the hall started routinely knocking on my door asking to use the internet, borrow 5 bucks for laundry, etc. I consistently said no, which didn't dissuade him from asking. Since then, I've stopped answering my door unless I know the person. When Do You Open Your Front Door? |

I was born in this neighborhood!!! So cool! My parents lived in a little apartment like this when my dad's work brought them to Tokyo (he was a journalist). James & Briony's Tokyo Home House Tour |

LOVE. LOVE EVERYTHING. Love the bedroom, love the colors, love all of the stuff around the house, love the little details, love the absolute lack of the ever so typical "my house is as sterile and minimalist as the inside of a museum" thing, oh my goodness I want my apartment to look like this.

My studio apartment is 13 feet wide. While it isn't that big of a deal in the 12x13 "main room" (i.e. living room, dining room, study, bedroom, etc), the 6ftx6ft galley kitchen is pretty epically small. A Peek Inside: 5 Super Narrow City Spaces |

@LauraInCancun: Just so you know, for those of us living in east coast cities, it is rare that a dwelling (i.e. house, apartment, etc) can be found with rent less than 800/month -- and that's cheap. The High Cost of Small Spaces in the Big City New York Times |

Has Petworth changed? I haven't been to the neighborhood in about 5 years, despite living in DC for a while. The last time I was there, it wasn't a destination for young couples. Thoughts? Someone clue me in? Ashley & Andy's Homemade Home House Tour |
