If you get mad, there's nowhere to go! It's all one room, unless you want to sit in the bathroom.<br /><br />Then again, 1400 sq. ft. sounds palatial - Chad and I are crammed into a 650 sq ft. one-bedroom!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12810680437939153508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887421078018917420.post-21614671813203453372009-05-06T21:39:00.000-07:002009-05-06T21:39:00.000-07:00@Dog: We use the exercise bike every other day, bu...@Dog: We use the exercise bike every other day, but the elliptical machine is catching dust. It's so... squeaky! I'm going to try to sell it, but if I can't get enough, it's going to my mom.<br /><br />@Kristy: You don't know what you're missing re: multiple monitors. I'm serious. Great for multitasking. And my bf is a programmer/artist/modeler. He has 3 screens at work, 3 screens at home - all of which he uses in one way or another (i.e. reference photo on one screen, 3d studio max on another...). As far as the other stuff goes - how is it too much? Keep in mind that the company he works for is owned by an electronics giant... We get discounts on all our tech. And we do love our tech. :)<br /><br />@everyone: Thanks for your comments! You're right - a studio will be a stretch, unless we find something really amazing in terms of location/price/size. We'll see what I can sell in the next couple of weeks too. I wouldn't mind getting rid of a lot of the furniture... Then I can redecorate when we buy a place. ;)Sunflowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02917160919955773944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887421078018917420.post-5104377795383287812009-05-06T18:00:00.000-07:002009-05-06T18:00:00.000-07:00I live alone and don't think I could do a studio, ...I live alone and don't think I could do a studio, so I couldn't possibly imagine doing it with two people - whether you love them or not. I think it may be in the best interest of your sanity and your relationship to downgrade your apartment to a one bedroom to save money. But, going from a two bedroom to a studio, especially with the stuff you have, would be difficult. Speaking of, why in the world do you guys have so much stuff? Do you really need two monitors, etc.?<br /><br />Kristy @ MYC<br />www.masteryourcard.com/blogMentally Sanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776796777120287857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887421078018917420.post-8138213356058951372009-05-06T12:55:00.000-07:002009-05-06T12:55:00.000-07:00I have lived in a studio with Mr M and no, that mu...I have lived in a studio with Mr M and no, that much furniture would not have fit in my relatively large studio. I had a queen sized bed which fit fine, but a king would have been impossible. I had one really tiny desk, a smallish couch etc. It was fine for awhile but we did have to rent a storage room as well to keep extra stuff. It might work if you're willing to put stuff in storage/pay for storage space. I didn't mind the lack of privacy, I wouldn't do it with just a roomate, but with your significant other it's not a problem.Miss Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15926161058644761041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887421078018917420.post-73986077572151479582009-05-06T07:25:00.000-07:002009-05-06T07:25:00.000-07:00I hear that, about being only in ONE ROOM all the ...I hear that, about being only in ONE ROOM all the time<br /><br />But we'll have a kitchen, a bathroom and a little closet space I can go and hide out if I feel sick of seeing his face<br /><br />Plus, he's gone all day and I'm at home.

A lot of times, these rooms are configured in a strange way that you can't put certain furniture in the way you anticipated. Good luck!Shtinkykathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13463418160441246011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887421078018917420.post-49367810243628185962009-05-05T19:58:00.000-07:002009-05-05T19:58:00.000-07:00I also think it depends.

Sometimes you just want more than 5 feet between you and your partner, even if you love them. <br /><br />I still think you can downgrade to a 1-bedroom for $1,100 to $1,200 (if my general idea of your location is correct), and live in a nice but older building with a lot more room. Depending on the area, you might not save that much on a studio anyway. <br /><br />Best of luck whatever you decide!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887421078018917420.post-27874554226015154002009-05-05T18:19:00.000-07:002009-05-05T18:19:00.000-07:00Depends how large the studio is and how its laid o...Depends how large the studio is and how its laid out. I live in a 480 sf place and it fits a desk, couch (3 person), queen bed, coffee table, tv w/stand. Also has a little walk in closet, so most of my extra stuff goes in there. I cant really fit anything else in here and still have room to breathe. Also, I can sit on my bed and stir a pot on the stove. <br /><br />It can be done though. Check out Apartment therapy for inspiration. They have a great "smallest, coolest" contest they run every year.Candice Benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05966827967032297550noreply@blogger.com
