I have a Samsung Nexus S, dropped it on the floor several times, it even made a fall from a 2nd story balcony and it only has really minor scratches. But then again, it's not an iPhone, so I guess my story isn't relevant. Keep crying, poor iPhone owners, one day you'll realize that's not an Apple at the center of the universe.

Why not try to find a small (and used) clawfoot bathtub ? I'm sure you can find one that's perhaps not in tip top shape but can do as a temporary solution for 125$. Just have the tub drain connected to the existing shower's drain. Just make sure the tub is leveled by using shims under its feet because you're gonna have to stand up in the tub to take a shower, the drain being blocked by the tub's drain connection.

Good luck !

I just LOVE black houses. But they need to have all the trims either white or a very light/bright color and the windows must be big, if not, they look very very creepy.

Few examples of black houses I love :

My heart just skipped a beat. That Nevera Rockford fridge/oven is the most beautiful kitchen appliance I have ever seen. Oh. My. God. I am in shock.

Since I live in an rental apartment, there aren't many ways I can make it smell like me (and my bf). It does smell like us a bit now, but I still like my place to smell a little more like something comforting. Like woodfire.

That being said, I am ADDICTED to the candle named Fireside by Slatkins sold at Bath & Body Works. It smells so good, I always say it smells like seating on an old leather couch, by the fireplace, burning cedar logs ... It's just THAT comforting and relaxing.

My cat (maine coon mix) slept with me when he was a young kitten, he'd sleep next to my pillow, in his spot. Now that I have a boyfriend and got a new bed under which he cannot hide, he sleeps on the couch or somewhere else. But when he hears us wake up, he storms in the room, chirping loudly and jumps right on me, gives both my bf and I cat kisses, then proceeds to knead my arm 'till I say it's enough.

I'm all for artwork in the bathroom. It gives you something to look at when sitting there. And it gives personality without having to paint. As a renter, it's something I like (for any rooms).

No it's not dirty, I've had a poster framed in the bathroom for a year, even though it does get steamy in there, it shows no signs of it.

And yes, I also have reading material. A dictionary. People ask, but I've been improving my vocabulary and learning new words/sayings on the loo since I was 5. I'm 23 and still haven't got sick because of it, just more intelligent :P

Thank God, other people do it too ! YAY !

My roomie keeps telling me I'm a freak because my wardrobe is so organized. Everything is sorted by type, then color. I love it.

Very nice and warm.It's crazy how Montreal's apartments are so easily recognizable ... and I can't quite say why.

A 3 and a half, is a one bedroom apt with a living room and a kitchen (that makes 3 rooms) + the half which is the bathroom.

In Quebec, all apartments are defined by this "rule".

The kitchen always counts as one room, and the bathroom as the half.

I have a very fluffly duvet, so when I have clothes everywhere and someone comes over, I just lift the duvet, put it all under. It only makes it look bigger and fluffier.

I also have a friend who will stash all her clothes in the dryer.

Other than that, my apartment is very clean and there's rarely something that needs to be hidden so I don't mind people stopping by randomly.
