@@CeliaSkvaril my dog was 8 yo when we got a 10 week old kitten. The kitten was a runt and weighed less than 1 lb.. (the dog is 10 lbs)... so i suggest getting one as a tiny baby... or raising them together... or - you know your original animal very well - .. our dog loves every living creature... from human down to guinea pigs.. he always has since we got him at 8 weeks old.. so i trusted him with the kitten from day one. Our dog and cat play just like yours...

This was a delightful surprise. I have seen too many small spaces where the tour is about the bare bones of the place accented with "and this drawer has my cutlery," or "We have a couch and chair." This lovely home had many well chosen decor touches for the viewer's eyes to enjoy but it never becomes cluttered. There was a lot of effort and skill implemented here. Thank you for sharing.

For the bedroom with the tiled Parsons style table/desk: Float the bed in middle of room with headboard (?) end closest to window. Place the blue tiled table behind the headboard and push flush against the headboard. Now, the light is to your back for doing art, makeup, etc. Move the white chest of drawers to the nook area where bed used to be. Put clothing racks on either side of the white chest-now the area looks intentional as a "closet." You could even hang a curved rod from the ceiling and close the closet area off with fabric panels. Not necessary, but you could if you wanted. Personally, I would try the bed without a headboard, with the tiled table pushed flush against the bed frame/mattress. Eh, it's a fun Saturday project to move things around and try. If you don't like it, move it back. But I think it would be more interesting and it would allow you to leave an art project out on the table if you aren't finished. Dress the bed to WOW when seen from the door and the bed becomes your focal point. You could literally add anything behind the bed as a "headboard" that could be part of the statement and functional to the table side.

@fld1374 Жыл бұрын

Very well decorated, but 530 sq feet is a STUDIO. Maybe a ONE BEDROOM. Don't even say, "Oh that's New York." I've lived in a 1200 sq foot 3BR apartment that was $3K with a real kitchen. That landlord is gross for splitting that space to make a fake 2BR to charge more. Notice it's a kitchenette and a VERY small space for a living room. It should at least be an additional 100 sq feet.

@MarisaAndChew Жыл бұрын

I did this when I was renting years ago. I had a toddler who wanted in the cat box. The only spot that made sense was in the closet and leaving the door open a cat sized crack. I scooped the litter daily. The closest never got stinky. I'm sure if you didn't scoop daily it would get gross, but it would no matter where it is in the house! My next home had a basement so the kitty box was down there but still scooped daily. House after that didn't have a single closet and was completely open floor plan with the only door begin on the very tiny bathroom. I placed the cat box in the small entry way and had dogs so I faced the opening towards the wall BC otherwise the dogs were in it. 🤢 With this side being small and the bathroom being tiny, I'm not sure where else you would put a cat box? I sure wouldn't want to be cooking or eating or watching tv or sleeping and smell the cat go to the bathroom, and they have a dog so chances are they need it in a spot the dog can't easily access
