Small Living 1

          So I was googling different apartments that don't need a lot of space (for when I move). And found the website faircompaines.com, which has a tag for small living. So I'm going to write a few blogs dedicated to small living.

I'm starting with this very cute, quaint and rural living-area.
Now I really like this house/caravan. I like that it nice and clean (which I can't say about my own room...) and it has so much wood panelling. I also love that it has all that sitting (aka two sofas).
And like every other adult, I like that it has a "normal" sized bed.
There are some things I dislike about the house though. And that's the fact that the microwave is on the other side of the room and easily seen. I like thing to be out of the way, especially big things that don't match the decor.
Other things that were a bit off was that the host doesn't comment on the sofas. Is there storage under them, like the one in this video (p.s I plan to make that video the next blog too).
     This house (15 square meters) is actually 5 meters bigger than my current room is (mine is 2,5m by 4m = 10 square meters). Small differences... like the shape of the room, the cabinets, the doors, the concept that the house has a kitchen and bathroom... My room is stupidly made. When you look at it, you can clearly see what you're supposed to put where.

So this a quick sketch of my room. The black fuzz is the door (but the fuzz is a little small...). The purple is a closet (that can't be painted and the inside is unmovable) The red (at the bottom) is a radiator. And the blue is a windowsill.
As you can see, they want you to put a desk or table-thing in front of the window and a bed along the left side wall.
In my room there isn't room to put a sofa in it, unless it's a futon. But I'm too old for a ugly looking futon and if I buy one that's pretty and mature, it costs!! Now my room also has a sh*tload of books in it too. I have close to 400 books. And my mother doesn't want to see them (aka they have to be in my room).

Maybe you guys can help my decorate the inside of my room. Do any of you guys have any ideas? Or advise?

Blogs....

I follow quite a few blogs, some on blogger (which I read on google reader) and some on bloglovin. When I saw a few, I mean about 30 different blogs... :) 
I follow different types of blogs too, thank god, right? I read fashion blogs, style blogs, proana blogs, philosophy blogs, psychology blogs, "thought" blogs, book review blogs, LGBT blogs, cooking blogs, game blogs and so on.
I like the different blogs and love to read things that make one think. For example I read about yuri (lesbian) movies, and decided to watch "But I'm a cheerleader". Not a bad movie, but not really a good movie either. It's about a girl, who gets sent to a "rehab for homosexuals" place. She didn't know she was a lesbian when she was sent there, but found out on the "journey to being normal". I'm not sure what year it's from, but it's got female/male roles, that they have to relearn. For example the main character and the other girls that are there have to learn how to cook, clean and care for their husbands. The males on the other hand have to learn to be manly and know manly things, like fixing a car. It's entertaining, but not something I'd watch sober again. Might watch it with friends while having a couple of drinks.
