So inviting and cozy in all the best sense of those words. i think it's a wonderful thing to ask ourselves how much space we *really* need instead of looking around at our neighbors and comparing ourselves..."oh, well, steve has *that* much space, so maybe i need more, too?" nah. i think we would all realize we're happier with less if we were honest with ourselves. your space needs might change throughout your life, however. i grew up in a tiny log cabin with two bedrooms and one bathroom. my brother and i shared a bedroom until i was 13. it was wonderful, until it wasn't. at 13 i was really wanting my own room. my parents put a little addition onto the house and i was so thankful for my own space. they intended to add a second bathroom, too, but to this day it is still just a closet...i guess when you get used to just sharing a bathroom, you don't need things to change! :)Toniahttp://www.ittybittyimpact.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144616579963110201.post-84925176919532328052011-09-21T20:24:45.416-07:002011-09-21T20:24:45.416-07:00Min your white walls are beautiful!

That is tricky.<br /><br />I'm fortunate to have a basement so we stash all four (yes, four! The vet recommends one more than the number of cats owned) in the non finished half. I live in fear of what I'll do when my geriatric cats (Alex is 14 and Mikko is 13, so they're getting up there!) can no longer hack the climb, cause I don't know what we'd do then.<br /><br />In my past apartments I lived with a single litterbox (this was in the days of just two cats). One was stashed in bathroom. In another two bedroom apt I lived in alone, I stashed the box in a spare room. Before moving in, the boyfriend stashed Pig's box in a spare closet (and dear god that thing stunk to high heaven, even after cleaning and attempting to deodorize.<br /><br />You might check <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/la/pets-dogs-cats-snakes-etc/best-cat-litter-boxes-roundup--055743" rel="nofollow">this post</a> at Apartment Therapy for more options.min hushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09460666548836420815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144616579963110201.post-73253005489012570662011-09-19T16:43:19.975-07:002011-09-19T16:43:19.975-07:00Jennifer - Trouble adding my feed to your reader? ...Jennifer - Trouble adding my feed to your reader?

With three cats -- what's your solution? I'm ready to have a cat again but in my small city railroad style apartment, finding a spot that's out of the way is a challenge.

I love seeing the pictures of your small house. I think the amount of space sounds perfect for me. Hubby and I have more than we need right now, at 1100sf. There are areas we don't really use very much and although having separate bathrooms is lovely, it's not essential. We've been looking at the Tumbleweed cottages and really like the way that good design maximizes space. I hope we'll be ready to buy a place in a few years!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
