Apartment Therapy Re-Nest | 250 Square-Feet of Heaven in San Francisco Hot Post From One Year Ago
7/2/09 1:40 AM

Our best friends have a three year old that comes over with and without his parents from times to time. We have a small apartment but what we did was get a cube shaped nylon box that fits into our book shelves and filled it with matchbox cars, crayons, play dough, sticky slap hands, wind up toys and coloring books.

We showed him where it was and now every time he comes over he goes straight for "His cube" and has even taken to putting everything back before he goes. He actually looks forward to coming over to play with his little treasures he has accumulated and when we have other guests he loves showing them "His" special stuff at our house.

my boyfriend's sister made the mushroom savory ones for their mother (a vegetarian) for mother's day and they were soooooooo good! I highly recommend!

I drink wine but I dilute it with water. I know it sounds weird, I like the taste but I don't like getting buzzed over tuesday spaghetti.

I'm a 2 YAY!

I don't know how seriously I can take a site that puts that small grey text over royal blue. They obviously don't care about my precious eyes ;)

two choices.

Get a pole, or a ladder, or a tree trimmer.

Or

Get more bags and cover the whole thing in them.

You could simply hang a curtain from floor to wherever the ceiling is at the point you put it (perhaps so that it is at the halfway point between the clothes and the window frame). I would attach the rod to the side walls not the ceiling.It could be super cool depending on the fabric, maybe the same color as you walls leaving you the option to do a curtain on your actual window in a more patterned style without the room being over powered by fabric.

We had the EXACT same issue in our old place.
We painted the walls a light gray, and installed a hanging lamp that created interesting shadows and light on the walls around it. That way it didn't clash with the decor of either room it simply created patterns on the walls.

I have been visiting Catalina since I was little and its a great day trip if you are so inclined, and the Wrigley mansion is super cool. Of course most people will know it as "Spain" on the Mike Seaver goes to Europe episode of Growing Pains.

Make your own starburst Mirror: or three

buy a circle mirror from the craft store and buy a floral ring from the fake flower department same size or smaller than your mirror. using a glue gun secure the ring to the back of the mirror in the center. get some wooden dowels (1/4 inch thick) break them into varying sizes and glue in a circular pattern to the floral ring so that the smooth end extends outward past the mirror. turn it over and glue tiny mirrors (varying sizes work best) to the dowels around the larger circle mirror in the center. and hang!

the cost is about 30 $ and you can paint the dowels if you want for extra color. It takes about 20 min to make and its super cool looking, plus you can beam with pride when you tell all your friends "oh that? I made it."

We had a huge litter problem.
When we moved to our new apartment we thankfully had a small laundry closet. Not really big enough for the litter and both washer and dryer. So we made a large wooden box (about two feet tall) and set the dryer on top of it instead on on the floor. Now the litter boxes are below and that coupled with feline pine litter make the whole thing easy and clean and it doesn't smell at all. We are actually saving space and the dryer runs fine up top! We thought about the robot, but its really not that big a deal to clean and the cats love it. Everything is contained and when we have guests we just close the door!

Living in those would scare the crap out of me. But it looks cool :)

These remind me of another strange dwelling that I recall seeing when I was on my uncles boat off the coast of Santa Barbara. There is (or used to be) a fully functional house floating on a slab of concrete right off the coast. Not a house boat mind you but and actual home in the middle of the ocean. It was at the time condemned and creepy looking but really interesting!
