Congratulations, Gud!

I live in a two-bedroom apartment. But I have awesome neighbors [waves to Amyth], and since it's just me and the cat I don't need that much space.

Congratulations, Gud!

We lived in a sturdy older home with a terrible layout. Now we have an older double-wide in an attractive neighborhood with pretty stringent rules. The layout makes sense, after years of trying to manage with walls that jogged around a central staircase and roof dormers, and closets that sloped under the roof so they were impractical.

We have two decent-sized bedrooms, the closet off the master is 6x10--I've had bedrooms smaller--a decent closet in the second bedroom, a linen closet, two baths, a dining room big enough for the antique breakfront and a table with two leaves that will seat eight, a decent sized kitchen with a w/d and shelving behind louvered doors, a separate pantry, a functional airlock back porch for minor storage, a covered deck large enough to hold seating for six or eight people, or more, cozily. There's a separate closet by the front door for coats and seldom-used things, the living room is large enough that we could easily use part of it for an office, or a dining area, should we want to close off the dining room for another bedroom or a more private office.

We have far more usable space, and it's all accessible. Not to mention the weather-tight shed H uses as a workshop, but which also has a full loft for storage.

Our furnishings, wall art, and books have been accrued, like a nautilus' shell, and reflect where we've been, as well as where we hope to go.

Ooh, askye, I had an under-the-stairs closet once, it was pretty sweet! I've loved in a surprising number of places with no closets at all, I really appreciate them. I don't have great closets here - what looks like a coat closet in the living room actually is full of oven, for example, and the office has no closet so it wouldn't make a good bedroom, and the room with the litter boxes just has those modular shelves with poles on the wall to hold clothes. But the shed is awesome, and the garage isn't bad, so I can't complain about storage.

I've got 3BR/1BA right now, which is more space than I need, but not enough to add a roommate, I don't think. Not the way it's laid out. And it is, in fact, entirely full of my stuff at the moment, because I have a lot of stuff and it is really not organized. I have a dream of putting a floor in the attic and permanent stairs and skylights and perhaps some plumbing and moving up there and renting out the bottom floor.

I don't really understand decor. I have stuff. Sometimes I put some effort into trying to get new stuff that'll look okay with the stuff I already have. Sometimes.

My new lawnmower came, huzzah! I'm gonna have a popsicle and then see if I can put that sucker together.

3 bd room 1 bath. Well there is a second full bath in the garage, but... There is no good way to g et to it from the. House because it I s a full working shop. Which will get - improved why we finish getting the electrical redone. One bedroom, one office (that has a slightly different future) and the music /guest room. It is less than 1400 sq ft and a 1955 rat maze. I've drawn out a design for after the big one- smaller,but no more maze

I'm sorry for pointing out a typo, but it's the most evocative typo I've seen in ages.

I think mine is right aroun 1000 sq ft, including the garage (I measured everything when we moved in and added it all up, but I'm not sure where I put those calculations. I need to do that again now that my phone can do it magically. I wonder if I can use my phone to determine where my floor is sinking? But I digress), 1954 but heavily modified in somewhat peculiar ways by previous owners. There was definitely an ironworker in residence, there are mostly cool tell-tale artifacts but also the occasional "why did this have to be welded together?!?" surprise.

Ha! I'll leave it, Connie. Who needs a closet when you've got love, after all?

Connie,

OMG! hee hee.

Is "genuine" Roman speak as dick-laden and gay-snapping as Spartacus dialogue? Everything's a cock or a cunt, always negative. The language feels different between the first season and the prequel too.

Our current apartment is 2 bedrooms and less than 900sf. But laid out pretty well. 2 bathrooms is now a non-negotiable. We use one as our bedroom and the second as the office/library/guest room. I wouldn't mind a third bedroom or dedicated office space, but I don't need it.
