I have a house. My house is tidy. It may not be clean, but it's tidy. I like things to be in their places. I like to have a minimalistic approach to home decorating. For me, less is better! But I have a LOT of stuff, plus nearly 2 acres outside, and I have someone come every two weeks and mow and weedeat for me. It's a LOT of work. Constant upkeep. My husband does the other stuff around here. Fixing this, fixing that... He's great. I admit my floors and bathtub and sinks are not clean like I'd like them to be. If you swept your hand along my tile floors, you'll feel grit. (I do live in the country, on a dirt road, and sand is always coming into the house, via my beagle). Maybe my bathtub and shower is not sparkling clean, but they are clean enough,

I use a Roomba to vacuum.

When I was a student at the Louisiana Center for the Blind, we got to live in our own apartment they supplied, Every Wednesday we'd have inspections. Our teachers and mentors, who were either VI or totally blind, were the inspectors. They would come in and kneel on the kitchen floor and run their hands around. Same for countertops and bathrooms. If they felt any grit, we failed inspection. They also brought along a sighted mentor, to help inspect the rest of our apartment. You couldn't live like a pig. They supplied us vacuums, mops, and everything we needed to keep their apartments clean.

That is where I learned that clean isn't just looking clean, it's FEELING clean! It was a big lesson for me. I grew up in a clean home, and my mom made me clean every Friday along with her. (I usually failed HER inspections too, haha!), so I know how to keep up a house. But having people get down on their knees and FEEL my floors, oh man, that was new! I failed a few inspections. Then I realized what I had to do. Feel the floors and counters myself!

Here's a small tip for anyone: You whole room can be clean and tidy, but if you don't make your bed, it ruins the entire effect.

I literally live out of a backpack 8 months of the year. Winter on couches. Hike and paddle the rest of the time...

Trying to get into sailing, a live aboard sailboat is the long term goal

We bought a 3 bedroom (really two and a tiny store cupboard) end of terrace house in 2007. It was built in the early twentieth century and is brick with a slate roof. It was in a bad state and we got to completely renovate it from basically a brick shell up. I thought we were getting gouged on the price, but in the southeastern UK it would only ever have got worse, so I guess we got lucky. The downstairs is basically one large combined lounge and dining space and the kitchen is at the back, and upstairs we have one room for sleeping in, the bathroom, the box room, and one office and storage place for all our work stuff, since my partner and I are both self employed and have equipment to store. We have a back yard and a tiny front one although neither of them get much love!

There's a little corner shop where we can get basic stuff. We're just about close enough to the railway station that I can solo over there and get on the train, although usually I get a cab because it's just easier. That puts me half an hour outside London. I'm spending a lot of time here alone at the moment since I can sort of work from home at about half capacity, but he can't at all. Kind of getting bored of the place now but I know we're lucky to have it, and I feel bad for the people younger than us who have no chance.

We just moved into our new place 4 months ago.

Our house is 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, open living room/kitchen/dining area, laundry room, large game room off of the kitchen, small room off the game room that's been turned into an art studio. It's 2300 sq/ft on 1/3 acre in a quiet subdivision on the edge of our small town. We're nestled into a narrow valley and we're the 2nd to last house on the road so there's virtually no traffic. We have a big front porch that we can sit out on and listen to the creek. The house is bigger than we probably need, but we love it. We entertain a lot when we're not stuck in a pandemic.

I live here with my husband and our son who's 18 and attending the local university.

Inside is all hardwood and tile and fairly minimally decorated outside of the teen's room and the game room, which is well organized, just full of games.

My favorite part is the lighting in the living room and kitchen. The house was remodeled before we moved in and the previous owners went all out with the lighting in there. There are 24 recessed lights in the ceiling that give the whole space very bright, very even lighting. It probably doesn't sound the most visually appealing the way I'm describing it, but the way they've done it looks nice. It helps me so much and was a big selling point for us.

We redid the lighting in the game room when we moved in and put a big bright light over our game table.

It's about 800 SQFT. I tend to be a fairly disorganized person hah.

I live in a small 3 bedroom bungalow with 3 others full time and a rotating addition of 1-5 more people depending on the day

It's definitely far from tidy, but as 2 of us have low vision, we tend to keep things mostly in the same place or somewhere easy to find. The house feels crowded but we make do. Even with the regular changes of people in a small space and not everyone following the same rule like putting your chair back, it is fairly easy to walk around using no vision in the night with all the lights off.

I live at home and try to keep my room as tidy as I can. I have a rumba and think it’s great!

average two room apartment then add a little too much mess and you got it.

it's nicknamed "the sauna"

Just your average college apartment.

I live in a regular two bedroom apartment with my parents and younger sister, soon I,ll be moving to a college dorm.

I have a bedroom at my parents house at the moment. It is always dimly lit because I'm light sensitive. I have a computer and desk I use to take court reporter classes. There's a dresser that has my cat's food and a fan. The bookcases are storage for my parents
