My ideal personal bubble extends approximately a mile in all directions, but I'll take a few feet to the street in lieu of a shack in the woods.
Yes, the problem with shacks in the woods is that they tend to be far from grocery stores...
Photos! I want to see your apartment!
It is so cute! I aim to put the finishing touches on in the next couple months, and then there will be much photographing!
Have you tried a screen to kind of hide your bed area, or is that too much trouble for not enough reward?
I'd planned that when I first moved in, but it turns out that a screen would eat up lots of floor space and make the two resulting sections both feel more cramped. Instead, everything's nice and open, and my bed's just occupying a corner.
That was really helpful for me since I did almost all of my work at home, and I was able to use my dining room as a little office.
Heh. When I went furniture-shopping, I knew that space-wise, I had to choose between a table/desk and a sofa/coffee table, and... yeah, no contest. So my coffee table is also my kitchen table and my desk. But it'd be nice if I had a designated physical space for Ok Seriously Time To Focus And Get Stuff Done Now occasions...
I've been thinking lately that it might be possible to build one's counters a bit lower than usual, then add a second half-counter about a foot above that. It would be a place to put the toaster and microwave, thus freeing up space for food prep on the real counter.
...so said the short person. :D It *would* be nice to have a little appliance-sized ledge, though, for things that need permanent homes on the counter without taking up workspace...
