small spaces

Man oh man. I really could not imagine living in a studio apartment or anything like that. I have to give major props to the people who can make a home out of such small spaces. My place is only a one bedroom and I swear I need more space, mind you that could be due in part to the fact that I have a lot of crap in my house.

cat house

So this kind of follows the last post. I found this in the comments of the last house tour I was talking about (the kitty loft). Now this is one couple that is majorly devoted to their kitter cats! They've got a website, The Cat's House and it has a ton more photos than what I put up here, so I totally recommend taking a look if you're feeling down, or even if you just want to see some super happy cats!
Casey, look out! I want to do this to our house, k? thanks.
loveyoubabe!

They've made a cat walk through their entire house, through walls even.

I'm not sure how many cats they have but I'm pretty sure there's at least 3 more than just the ones in this photo.

Really, when you think about it, if you've got like 6 or 7 cats, then why not give them space above you so they're not always underfoot?
This guy wins best photo ever! I can't stop laughing, every time I look at it, he just looks so amazingly happy! Great, now i'm the crazy person at work that laughs to herself!

I've been sick. I got a cold on Tuesday and it pretty much knocked me on me arse. I've just spent the last 4 days in bed cuddled up with a pretty cute 70 pound dog that thinks he's a little puppy. I gotta say, that was the absolute best part of being sick. Finnigan didn't leave my side the entire time, at one point he curled up behind me and layed his sweet little head on my side and went to sleep, AH i love that dog!

SO anyway, last night I was catching up on my emails and ended up on apartment therapy for a good hour and a bit, and came across a house tour that I had seen about a year ago, but had completely forgotten about. It's the most amazing idea I've ever seen, if you live in an apartment and don't have a lot of room for your kitties, this is definitely for you.

It goes all through the house, and into the kitchen. I personally don't think I'd like to have my cats crawling around the ceiling in my kitchen (think-cat hair in food) but meh, maybe their cats don't shed?

That looks like one happy kitter cat!

You can check out the rest of their house tour here.

heavenly space

I have one particular website that I visit daily, if not multiple times a day, Desire To Inspire, it's just an absolute pleasure to the eye to see what they come up with to post every day. Then just a few minutes ago when I was looking on Apartment Therapy I came across a house tour of Kim, who is one half of Desire to Inspire. Looking at each pcture it is as if she took all my favorite design elements and threw them all in one house, and it actually works too! Especially the 6 cats element, I aspire to become a crazy cat lady with at least 6 cats.
Also check out the couch too! She and her boyfriend custom made it, and now it's all I can think about when I sit at home on my crappy couch. I'm thinking that with my connections (step father owning a custom furniture company) that I should be able to get one made easily. It's on the to-do list, among about 149 other things.
(click the kitties and it'll take you to the beginning of the house tour)

amazing bedrooms

So it's an early morning here at the box office and all I can seem to think about is my bed. I can't have my bed for another 7 hours so I'll just look at other beds I found on Apartment Therapy. The 6th one especially makes me want to go back to sleep.

book blog

I've just started reading a new book, The Host by Stephenie Meyer (Twilight author) and I would highly recommend it to anyone already, I'm only on the 2nd Chapter.
Here's a review I found on it on Amazon.com.

From Publishers Weekly In this tantalizing SF thriller, planet-hopping parasites are inserting their silvery centipede selves into human brains, curing cancer, eliminating war and turning Earth into paradise. But some people want Earth back, warts and all, especially Melanie Stryder, who refuses to surrender, even after being captured in Chicago and becoming a host for a soul called Wanderer. Melanie uses her surviving brain cells to persuade Wanderer to help search for her loved ones in the Arizona desert. When the pair find Melanie's brother and her boyfriend in a hidden rebel cell led by her uncle, Wanderer is at first hated. Once the rebels accept Wanderer, whom they dub Wanda, Wanda's whole perspective on humanity changes. While the straightforward narrative is short on detail about the invasion and its stunning aftermath, it shines with romantic intrigue, especially when a love triangle (or quadrangle?!) develops for Wanda/Melanie. 10-city author tour.
