My front door faces the driveway. Picture a three-bedroom house on the front of the property and the a little granny flat in the back. I live on the first floor of the granny flat, which has been divided into two units, and have a basement neighbor. In the front house there are two units as well, one which is smaller than mine and one which has two bedrooms, a large living room and a large windowed porch. My neighbor in the larger front apartment gets to park in the driveway. My parking spot is behind the garage off of the alleyway. Technically I have a front stoop, but given that my view is either of a driveway or an old minivan under the carport, it's not such an exciting place to sit. I generally end up heading up the street to the library when I want to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. Yes, I live a block away from the library. It's really quite wonderful.
We'll start off in the kitchen. I really like my little apartment, but the kitchen was a bit of a let-down, especially with as much as I cook and bake. The stovetop and oven are both gas, which I much prefer over electric, but I have a baby apartment-sized oven which means regular cookie sheets don't fit, I can't bake things on both racks at the same time, and I have to very, very carefully place my bread loaves on the baking bricks so that none of them are too close to the sides (so they won't burn).
Refrigerator: covered in photos and magnets as every good fridge should be. Those are jalapenos strung up to dry hanging in the window. Yum, yum, yum. 
My counter space in all it's entirety. Yes, it's the size of a suitcase.At least I have angel fish canisters and awesome cabinet decorations. :)
The amazing, ever-growing pile of winter squash. Keep an eye out as this pile (and its offspring) will continue to make appearances throughout the fall and winter. Pavlov sometimes tries to play with them, which utterly cracks me up.
Sink, cabinets and part of the oven. There's a lot of white in this kitchen, so cabinet decorations were necessary.
My very cute (and annoying) little apartment stove.And the cookbook bookshelf providing extra counter space.
My new favorite appliance addition: my very own chest freezer. I'm getting half a pig from a localfarm later this month, and knew I needed something besides my fridge freezer to hold
that much pig. Did I mention my fridge is also apartment-sized?
Dining table/desk (before the arrival of an actual desk). Kind of a cluttered mess most of the time.This is actually the cleanest it generally ever was.
I had my co-workers over for dinner a few weeks ago and was excited for the chance to bring out the nice china and my pretty tablecloth John got for me in Greece (he was over there in 2004 with the Yale Solar Car Team).Moving on to the living room/work room. My apartment has three rooms and the bathroom, so the living room doubles also as a work room, hang-out room and general use room. The desk in the back corner is a new addition within the last few weeks, and I really like having a separate desk from my dining room table. Makes it a lot easier to eat and not get crumbs all over my files and computer!
The living room facing the desk/work corner. 
China cabinet and entry into the kitchen. There isn't a door between the living room and the kitchen, only an arched doorway. I love the fact that my apartment has wood floors. And my landlord has given me permission to paint the walls if I so desire (right now they're all stark white and it looks rather depressing in some lighting).Color suggestions anyone?
The big purple bookshelf. When I was younger I painted this bright pink. And then painted it this lavender color a few years later, which was a great improvement on the pink. In front is Gladys (hat tip to Flavia de Luce), my trusty single speed Motobecane. She is awesome and we've already had some good adventures around the area.
The entry way which is generally occupied by Francoise Trek. Someday these ladies may move to the garage, but for the moment there isn't room for them in there. I may become very depressed come February when it's -10 and icy/snowy outside and they're just sitting there begging me to take them out for a spin.Moving on to the bathroom. Really the most exciting part of it is that I have a bathtub and really hot hot water. So nice for cold evenings (especially last week when my heat wasn't working!). Pav likes to hang out with me when I take soaking baths and drink out of the bathtub.
Pavlov in one of his favorite hangouts: the bathtub. He rolls around in there making happy little kitty noises to himself. He also loves to drink out of the bathtub faucet. Such an odd little furball.
Self-portrait post-Halloween run. I enjoy my ducky shower curtain.It helps break up the massive amounts of white in my bathroom.
And finally, my bedroom. This is the second arrangement of furniture for my bedroom, and I much prefer the way it's arranged now. It's a really nice, cozy little room with a good-sized closet for clothes and other storage. I also have a hall closet that has an upper cabinet and a lower, larger closet in which everything else is stored.
Why yes, that is half of the periodic table hanging over my bed.
Oh look, there's the other half of the periodic table! And yet another bookshelf. I didn't even get photos of all of them. Really, none of you should be surprised at this...especially those of you who have seen the house I grew up in.And this concludes our tour of my lovely little apartment. I have a small bit of yard in the back next to the alleyway in which I grew tomatoes, basil and squash this summer. I'm planning a larger garden for next year and am already drawing up plans for what will be planted where! I've also started a compost pile so that I can add in a lot to the soil as it's really quite lousy for growing anything except grasses. Right now though my garden is covered in leaves and dead squash plants and really not very photogenic, so you'll just have to wait until spring to see what it looks like.
