With all my can't-pay-the-mortgage-worries I am getting so jealous of all you single gals and your bachelorette pads...I saw my best friends new pad the other day and it's the same-ish size as yours. PLENTY of room for one!
It all looks so new...and that futon is wicked!
PS. I LOVE the flooring...is it laminate?

Thanks Linz!
It's more than enough room for one. I could live there with a BF and we'd never find it cramped. But that's not going to happen...
I like my futon too, thanks. It took 2 of my friends an hour and a half to put it together (the frame came in a million pieces). I owe them some drinks to thank them.
It's real hardwood. It's a very old home so it's hardwood throught.

Those floors look so wicked! I've got pine floorboards in my bedroom, but cos 1) it's not hardwood and 2) they're not really well put down they're a nightmare to clean so I'm insisting on a carpet as soon as we can afford it!
Mmm...keep it as *your* space. That's such a nice idea. There was a couple on the radio today who were thinking of moving in together only now after 17 YEARS cos they like their own space so much. Sometimes I can see the attraction!

Thanks. The landlord refinished them and they are in very good shape. Carpeting isn't as great for my allergies so I prefer hardwood floors.
It's ALL MINE. No men allowed....just kidding! But nobody else is moving in. NOPE! Just me and my little cat Sara.

Great Place!!! Very cute!!! Is it part of a larger hourse? I used to live in a BIG house that was divided into 3 apartments and loved it!! I kinda miss have my OWN place and making it all girlie and stuff!! Don't get me wrong, I love my hubby and our house is cute too, if not old!! Our house was built in 1922 and has the original hard wood floors except the kitchen is parquet (sp?) which is a different type of wood, we had those refinished a couple of years ago and they turned out really nice! I love how bright and HAPPY your place looks! Enjoy it!

Actually, my current place is not the greatest and falling apart, but I'll be moving in Aug/Sept, so hopefully going to find a nicer place! Not by myself though, I'll be living with my best friend and his gf and my bf.

Wow Tina, its lovely, I especially love the windows in your bedroom.
Your bright yellow is much more mellow than I thought. I have that colour in my hall. I thought it would be the colour of the emoticons!!
I hope you are very happy there.

Thanks Sinead.
The yellow is very mellow, you're right. When I first saw it it looked more like lemon yellow but it's obviously not! I love the windows under my bed too!
So far, I'm very happy there. Thanks. That's so nice of you to say.

I love the windows over your bed, the panelled doors, and the angled roof line. The wood floor is fantastic, and I recognize those lace curtains in the bathroom -- I had the same kind, only they had ducks on the bottom instead of houses.
It looks like an older place -- is it? It must be a top flat too, since the roof line comes down like it does. Very nice.
How many other units are there in the complex? How many below you? Next to you? What's the view out the windows? Inquiring minds wanna know!
Thanks for sharing.

It's cozy but stylish and with enough interesting angles to make it... well, interesting! What a great place!
And I'm jealous of your pretty-colored walls! Our entire house is that awful light-beige color, and we just have no money to paint it any time soon.
Anyway, ENJOY it!

The curtains came with the place. he he I like them though.
It's an older place, maybe 100 years old. I should ask. And yes, it's the top unit with one below me and one on the main floor. It's a HUGE house. Nobody above or beside me, just the landlord below me.
My view out of the windows are other olf houses and massive trees. It's a very nice street and a great neighbourhood.
Thanks for your interest!

Oh, Tina, it is adorable!! It has "character"!! I am so jealous! My apartment is so generic looking-- while your's is so quiant and cute! Nice job, sweetie!
And it looks like you've been there a while already, as it is so "finished" looking! I've been in my apartment for 2 years now, and I still have boxes that aren't unpacked.
I just love how you decorated. I want one just like yours now!
Enjoy your cozy, peaceful, cute home! And thanks for sharing!

Thanks Beth! It is adorable. I never thought I'd have such a 'cutesy' place. I used to love deep rich colours but now I am into light colours. Go figure.
Thanks again Beth!

You're apartment is really pretty Tina I really like it...I can't believe how much you seem to have made yourself at home so quickly. My first apartment had white walls with no pictures and boxes left unpacked for two years! I guess I'm just lazy

Ha, ha. I get settled in VERY quickly. I had loads of help from my pal Wendy and even my parents came and helped me. My dad put my bookshelf and coffee table together. And they helped me haul my ten million boxes outside.
Thanks. I feel like I've been there for years. That's a good sign!
