It IS a bit IKEA-d out there...maybe you can try to personalize the IKEA pieces a bit more? (Examples: Painting, adding trim, etc.) I did/am doing that with a few of my cheaply-acquired pieces to add some personality to my space.

My windows are right above the garbage bins. Lucky me.

As a renter I find this entire conversation enlightening.

"technically green"?

Way to crowbar that into every single post, AT. Doesn't the content of this article speak for itself? If you took that statement out, would it take away from the article?

I cringe at grammar mistakes, as well...but the fact of the matter is this: Turnover on sites like Apartment Therapy is a lot shorter than, say, a print magazine or newspaper. You have less time to do just as much work as a print publication because it's digital media and it has to be done now-now-NOW. So not so much time for editing.

Totally unrelated to the post. I love those spotlights...the linked IKEA ones are hideous, but Jodi's are nice.

The sheet suspenders that Doug mentioned are widely available. Here in NYC you can find them at the dollar store. Coincidentally I am going to buy some for my own sheets today.

No cable, no land line. Just a cell phone, but I'm on a family plan with my mother in Virginia and my sisters in NC, so the total annual cost for MY share is...*calculating*...$120. Since I only talk to my family and my friends are mostly all on the same network (thus it's free) I very rarely go over my minutes.

I don't have any judgment on you, especially since you're trying to go to school. I was away to college for a whole year before I had a cell phone. Also, I left the country for about two years and travelled around. Pay-as-you-go 3G stuff--It'll save you a fortune. If it's working out, then good on you.

When I was living in suburban Tokyo I moved a 30-some-odd-inch CRT TV from the city to my house via train. No caddy, no box, just me. My house was a 17-minute walk from the nearest station. I had to set it down on the street every now and then but it got there.

Erykah Badu - Mama's Gun (the entire album).

And maybe a little Imogen Heap. Or Naomi. I'm very chill even when I clean.

Nice, I like this a lot.
