If you go to Taos you should check the area of "earthships" out. Really cool. Altough it's said to cost a fortune to buy one of these houses!!??

Absolutely amazing! I as a very picky person would like to live there! Has a lived in feel and everything seems to be perfect in scale..wow

I am with the "whatever floats you boat"

I live in mid Florida and tan is the biggest hit here, at least on exteriour of houses. That might be why we found our temporary house (at least for two years) totally painted tan inside by my parents-in-law. It was a surprise and I was in chock. Grown up in Sweden I never seen this colour inside before, never would have chosen it myself and did not feel at home at all. I did the "forbiddden" and painted it all over again. It's good they still like me very much =)

So noone can really say what makes anyone else feel the best. Or make a list based on statistics.

And never paint someone elses house ;)

Due to the different colours of wood I would probably paint it. Depends on what furniture you've got too, is there any wood finish that wood be clashing with the trim? It looks like a spacey and nice room though, congrats!

My husband and I was forced to live in the back of our truck when trying to find jobs after a longer vacation last year. Beacuse of the recession we were no longer able to make money, noone could afford our services. And so we traveled from state to state where we had friends and were work had been found before. It ended up being a pretty and pleasant extra vacation for us although the frustration of living poorely and not finding jobs finally had us move to Florida were we have family we can stay with. I kinda miss the truck sometimes; waking up on the beach, next to a beautiful hiking trail and seeing the sunset every evening and a sunrise every morning.

But now really truly appreciate having a shower each day, cooking hot meals and not falling asleep cold.

Upsides and downsides with everything. But please dont look at them living in a car like trash. Sometimes life takes off into a different direction than what you had in mind, and it can happen to anyone.

I so wich my husband DID care. It's hard to predict what he wont like and what does make him happy to have around. Any tips for getting them involved?

I did just put a chair and behind it a roomdivider with hangers on. But that is more because we dont have any money to spend on new accessories so I do the best out of what we got. Looks cozy and stylish. But my intention though is to start chosing outfits and putting them on that chair every evening, so no last minute -and no pile, will ever exist in the space. And I guess, a more stylish look aswell!

Con Gratulations to the amazing place! It depends on your taste but I would go with the already quirqy feeling; saving the black floor, add a group of chairs in popping colour in a circle infront of the fire place. I believe the more organic forms instead of strict ones will soften up the narrowness and make it cozy. To get a seating area at the widows you could make built in benches deep as the radiator on both sides and add cushions to sit on (I cant really tell from the picture if this would work or not) Or place a small table there, a couple of chairs, a tray and glasses with liqour and you're ready to celebrate new years!

I LOVE IT! I've been thinking about this lately, like where noone seem to care for the one thing you touch the first thing inside the door...First impression does'nt only include the view!

Combine the bikestorage with a table for studying with a bardesk-type of table and barchair to it. Long and thin along the right wall would be stylish. Opended at the end to just pull your bike into, bike leaning against the wall/table side. You probably have to build this one, but should be fairly easy. Cover the top of table with leather or a glasstop. Can be used as cosy diningnook for when company comes over. As the table is thin then you could have room for that extra sized bed if you want too! I hope you understand and like the idea.
