My little digs! (Lots of PIP)

When you walk in the front door, this is what you see to your left.  That is a pillow shaped like a cat sitting on the TV.  Thanks Mom, best Christmas present ever lol jk but it's kind of funny when people come over and ask about it, so we leave it up.

image

This is a close up of what's on the wall...

image

This is the other side of the living room (yep, that's my cat on top of the book shelf, he's so well behaved...)  Please forgive our non-matching bookshelf, table, and end table.  One day we'll get stuff that matches, but until then, it's hand-me-down furniture for us.

image

If you look straight when you walk in the door, you see our tiny dining room, the kitchen doorway is to the left, and then the hallway back to the bedroom and bathroom.

image

Turn left into the smallest kitchen in the world.  (Yep, once again, there's the cat...on the counter).

image

Right side

Left side

image

And again with the cat (Bruce).  I know it's gross that he's on the counter but there's literally no stopping him, so we gave up a long time ago.

image

Circa MTV cribs...the inside of our fridge.  (Yes, we drink Natural Light.  We're classy like that.)

image

Then you walk down the hall straight to the bathroom.

image

image

Then to the left is the bedroom.  (Yes, there's Bruce again.  He pretty much follows me every where.)  There's a closet on the other side of the room, but that's nothing special so I left it out.

image

And that's it!  We have a small balcony but I couldn't get a good picture of it.  730 sq feet for two big people and two naughty cats (the other cat is camera shy) so it gets crowded but it's home for now.  Thanks for visiting; you're welcome any time.  Plenty of Natural Light for all! BeerSmile

Re: My little digs! (Lots of PIP)

  • LOVE the LOVE on the wall and the kitty!  Super cute!

    Also, that is not the smallest kitchen ever.  The kitchen in the house I grew up in wins that prize.  It also contained our washing machine AND the door to the bathroom.  Talk about classy!  lol

  • It's so nice to know that my cats aren't the only ones to scale the large pieces of furniture!!! I love your kitchen, so open and lots of counter space... so jealous.

    ETA: You saw my kitchen, remember, the 5' strip lol. I love yours. 

  • Thanks!

    lol maybe it just feels super small when Jason and I are both in there moving around.  He jokes that if we try to pass each other, we're going to get stuck lol.

    Touche lol.  Yours is still very cute though! Smile

    Good to know your cats aren't perfectly behaved either lol.  People are always shocked when they see him on top of the bookshelf, but it's normal to us.

  • May I ask what "You Bitty?" means?

    Cute digs! And even cuter cat :)
    At my mom's house, my cat used to like to jump on top of the fridge. I thought it was cute! DH won't let her do that though over here lol.
    She like to think she's tall.

    May I ask what "You Bitty?" means?

    Lol, I was wondering if anyone would notice that and debated on erasing it prior to taking the picture but just figured I'd leave it.  Bitty is mine is Jason's nickname for each other, it's also what we typically call my cat.  His name is Bruce but we call him Bitty and that's what he responds to.  Basically, when I got him, he was soooo tiny that we used to always say, "He's so bitty."  Then, as cool as Jason and I are, we used to 'insult' each other if one of us fell asleep early or something by saying "Aw, even Bitty is still awake.  Maybe you're the bitty one?"  Then eventually it turned into constantly saying "You Bitty?" when one of us is tired, or when I can't reach something on a high shelf, etc.  It's really rather stupid lol, but it's stuck for almost 3 years so we go with it.

  • Thanks for letting us stalk your place.  I love the kitchen window, I bet it really brightens up the room. 

    And, your kitchen is WAY bigger than ours.

  • Thanks for explaining the Bitty thing because I was very curious too!  I have to agree that the Love wall is super sweet and your kitchen is sooo not tiny.  LOL at the fridge shot.  Thanks for sharing!

     I really enjoy these posts.   It helps motivate me to finally get our house unpacked and in order!  Keep em' coming ladies.

  • I also have to say that is not the smallest kitchen ever!  Sorry Xan you don't win the award!  The kitchen in my first apartment was at least half that size.

    I love seeing the kitty in the pictures....its kind of like Where's Waldo!

    Lovely home!

  • Your place is adorable! And I love the huge window in your kitchen, Don't feel bad, we have a tiny kitchen too.

    And although I've tried to train my cat, she goes on the counters too. The worst is when I catch her on the damn table. She KNOWS she shouldn't be on it bc the instant she sees me she takes off running before I can even yell at her.

  • Your place may be small, but you've made great use of the space you have!  I have a kitty like Bruce, too...he's always wherever I am and usually underfoot.  I also have a counter-surfer.  It's almost impossible to break them of that!

    I am also joining the LOVE on the wall LOVE fest! :)

  • LMAO I JUST noticed the cat in the 2nd pic on top of the bookcase.  LOL  He's too cute.

  • For all of my fellow RHW watchers: I am sorry that I am so tardy for the party on this post!

    I love your house Xan it is so cute! I think that we definitely need to make the fridge photo a requirement. Natty Light, we are classy like that too!

    When I finally get my house organized I will have a dog that resembles your cat, maybe not on top of the bookshelf or counter, but definitely trying to be in every single picture.

    LOVE IT!!
