Thanks everyone - all very good advice..Pi, you made me laugh...

I'm gonna go for the garden unit. My boy doesn't want to move, but you're right - what is currently the norm, will eventually be awkward - I already hold back with inviting guests over and play dates at our place because of the living situation. I've pimped out my place like nobody's business and it looks great, but no matter how cute, guests sitting next to my bed is *not cute* anymore.

Thank you again!

I agree with kschaff - It looks like a model home. Some of the light fixtures look like they belong in a hotel lobby more so than in a home - there's no warmth - and the ceilings are high and calling out for artwork or window treatments to warm things up..

The English Patient and Under the Tuscan Sun are my "escape movies"...the latter is another cheesy one and a little annoying with all the whining and screaming - but it'll have to do until I can get there myself!

This is my favorite (!!) DIY closet - not quite what you're talking about, but fabulous storage ideas...

Also!...Edgewater is having their 16th annual neighborhood garage sale - lots of great stuff!!! People are moving in to smaller places, trying to simplify and peeling away the layers - a wonderful opportunity to get lots of bang for your buck!

I use bacon grease when I fry eggs to give that good salty bacon flavor to the eggs...my mom would always splash a little of the hot bacon grease on top the egg to ensure the whites were cooking enough around the yolk...

my heaters are radiused at the top so for me, it's not as easy as just putting a glass of water (or bowl for that matter) on top - I wish i had one of the flat top heaters - they're HOT!

I live in a small space...while I agree that one table "anchors" the room much more effectively than many small tables...there's great function that the small tables provide when you're in "project mode"...one for feet, one for papers, one pulled close for drink/remote, etc....there's some fluid function that all the tables provide in addition to unique character - i love this space!

Thank you so much for all of your wonderful comments!

~Thorndale - it's St Gerts, so beautiful!
~Scoot - that shelf is from the Container Store about 4 years ago...the medicine cabinet was hung too high so I needed to put something there..
~DKinNY - The light was from Target on clearance a couple of years back...

My son's artwork is all throughout the apartment. The kitchen has a painting by him near the tv, the one above the table is an IKEA print.

Thanks much for all of your warm comments - I love me some AT...feels good to get some love back! ;)
