House Tour: An Eclectic Apartment On A Student Budget

  First Posted: 12/23/10 04:42 PM ET   Updated: 05/25/11 07:20 PM ET

Name: Meg, Brad, & Kitties Björn & Olive
Location: Lakeview -- Chicago, Illinois
Size: 900 square feet
Years lived in: 3 months -- rented

We (Meg and Brad) moved into this apartment only a few months ago with the determination to make it a home ASAP. Being a couple of students with jobs, we didn't have much time but we had a lot of determination. Decorating on a student's budget isn't easy. We've found a lot of ways to make our place unique for cheap without the feeling of IKEA overload.

Wow - I wish I lived in a cool place like this when I was in college! I lived in a trailer in a park called Mobile City, and our "lake" was actually sewage from faulty plumbing!

What a beautiful black-and-white cat you have! It's lovely that even with a small space, you've managed to set aside a couple special places for kitty.

Poor guy. Hopefully the sex is good. He should get a moose head or something of his own for the place.

I didn't mean to hate on this place. It just seems like a place hipster would squat in and listen to indie music :/

This is a great apartment. I love the dining table. I would reposition the bike before someone gets injured.
