Le grand tour

Thanks for your positive feedback about my Picture Post: Around the hood! I received few requests to see inside my studio, so please join me on a quick tour (after all, it's a studio).

Bedroom/Living Room:I was surprised by how much fit in this room; my (full) bed, futon/couch, coffee table, armoire, dresser and desk.The side of the room has a bench-type built in. I originally thought I'd set it up with some cushions for seating, but my bookshelves, mirror, and TV fit nicely on it, and it serves as a night stand next to my bed as well.
The armoire came with the studio; it's really beautiful and just barely fits my hanging clothes. I find studios are a great way to down size and figure out what you really need!
What I like best about this place is the kitchen. Full gas stove, large refrigerator and a nice deep sink. The cabinets provide all the storage I could need and then some.
The bathroom is in great condition, too; it includes a pretty pedestal sink, strong pressure shower and even a full bathtub!Here's a closeup of the wallpaper. It's a nice maroon color with gold emblem sort of designs.
They're nice until you put it over all wall surfaces. It took some...er...getting used to. Now, when I'm bored, I cross my eyes and try to spot the 3-D image.I have a few storage purchases to make, but I'm pretty much settled in and loving it!

So, I like the wallpaper, but maybe I'd feel differently if I lived there. I laughed at the "3-d images" comment. When I was little our bathroom had wallpaper like that and I can remember taking a bath and doing that concentrate/not concentrate thing to make them pop out.

I'm obsessing about trying to fit a bed in my studio...and figuring out how to pay for said bed.
