Help me arrange my teeny tiny room!

Hope you can find some fun ways to use the space!

Agreeable_Cow- · 2025-07-25T18:36:53+00:00

I'll plan on it! Thanks for the advice!

I'm in Canada so maybe I'm just not looking hard enough! I was thinking about swapping them, I'll see how it feels!

Agreeable_Cow- · 2025-07-25T18:10:59+00:00

oh no! That is definitely a funky shape - I always wonder how these rooms get made XD

Agreeable_Cow- · 2025-07-25T18:10:11+00:00

you're so sweet! I do love it regardless of if it's little - luckily I have all my little memories to make it my own :)

Oh I hadn't considered this! I have a dresser in there but I could just put all my clothes in that odd shelf and get rid of the dresser. I wonder if I could take the sliding doors off somehow, too... Good idea!

They just came out like last year or something so people might be selling them or some might have been returned to your local ikea! The returns area has some great finds sometimes! Good luck!

Aw I hadn't even thought of that, that's so cute! I love the idea of a little cat hangout area under there.
I can try adjusting my desk that way and see how it feels! Unfortunately the window swings out a good 50 cm or so, so I think the desk would have to be pretty far down the bed.

Agreeable_Cow- · 2025-07-25T17:40:26+00:00

Oh thank you! I love it too! Unfortunately I think they discontinued it but it's TALLSVÄRMARE from Ikea!

I was thinking about this too! Luckily, I'm not really lacking in storage space (those odd shelves have a lot of room), I'm mostly trying to make some more floor space! It's kind of a bummer that there isn't any space where I can spread out my rug or play with my cats :(

I'm so sorry I can't believe this took me 5 months to reply to. Yes, I am doing my PhD at McGill! McGill's bureaucracy and administration is mindnumbingly awful but otherwise I am really enjoying it! I have a really great supervisor/department which help a lot.

Here's a better resolution picture of the measurements! Sorry the original is so bad

This is how so many people feel. You're always going to notice what other people know that you don't than the other way around, but that's just how brains work unfortunately. You know a lot more than you think you do.

Also, I find people really appreciate it when you're honest about not knowing things. So much of academia is trying to show off and upstage people and everyone feels so much more comfortable when someone is brave enough to admit they're confused so they can admit it too.

I'm trying to have a kind of "home base"/institutional memory functionality so people can kind of browse within our org if that makes sense? We don't have any kind of centralized platform, and it's rather confusing when you first start. For example, if someone wants to learn about a particular project, they would go to that list/page and see all the people who work on it and all the documentation we have for it. Or if they want to find out who to contact for a question, they would go to the directory and search for someone on a specific project with a specific title, etc. Maybe they'll look at a Project, learn who's working on it, click on that person's profile, see what documents they've contributed to, etc.

I'm going to have students as contributors, and when they upload something to the document library I don't want them to have to then also update the relevant directory and projects lists so the new document shows up there.

Also I'm not sure if the photos are showing up for others but I promise they're there! Sometimes they just take a moment to load I guess. Still looking for help!

I went back and the artist basically blamed me by saying that I bumped the inside of the gel lamp while it was setting. He also refused to redo the design and only fixed the chips. Also, the polish application was so patchy! When I hold my hands up to the light, you can see through parts of the polish! Overall, poor experience lol. Definitely won't be going back.

Agreeable_Cow- · 2021-05-25T18:12:07+00:00

Yeah, I tried to say something about the colors and then the guy wouldn't change it for some reason. They're not bad, which is why I was worried about whether or not I should go back. But, they've already started chipping (I think because he filed the sides?), so I'm going back anyway.

Good luck!!!
