The Realest Estate

Whew, that was a lot of shade thrown at that one guy and his bathroom.

I had friends in college who had a Harry Potter type under the stairs bedroom. They put a plank across the bottom of the little door and the rest of the space inside was filled with a waterbed. Then they had shelves mounted on the underside of the stairs above them. I forget how they lit the space but it was pretty darn Cosy.

Umm, how come with all this closet bedroom talk no one has made a Harry Potter reference yet?

Just moving into a 3BR. My daughter gets her pick of the two smaller bedrooms as her primary with the secondary as spillover, though she has to share the space... but, you know. I'm paying the rent. So, yeah, the master BR is about 14x12' (427x366 cm) and the smallest is 10x10' (305x305 cm). Approximately. The middle one is a little larger, didn't get the numbers. I've not seen a bedroom smaller than about 10x10 so I assume it's some kind of minimum requirement. Of course, presumably you not only need room to fit a bed, you need room to open the door afterwards, so it could simply be a practical limitation. But so many things about domiciles are regulated that I wouldn't be surprised if it were an actual requirement.

for fire safety, I think most places in the US require bedrooms to have windows

I'm jealous of the kitchen size.

I know it's not possible because it's a two-bedroom place, but this would have been hilarious if it turned out to be Marten and Faye's first place... :D

I've seen wayyyy worse.

I've had the shittiest real estate week - and this made me laugh out loud. Thanks, Jeph, I needed that.

Okay, this is a longshot, but is that first panel a jab at beatmasterj or is this just a weird timing coincidence?

Nice work with the perspective in panel 1.

There's a mitch hedberg joke in there

Brun works nights. She (as we have seen) has to sleep in the daytime a lot. And Jeph is a very careful writer and took that into account.

>_> tfw even your patreon comics remind you how screwed up your San Francisco housing is

I feel you brun

I feel you, Brun. I get pretty light sensitive at times too.

But she looks so happy!

My bedroom was the laundry room for about a year.

Brun is *never* wrong.

Technically, you can only really call something a "bedroom" if you put a bed in it for sleeping. You'd have to get creative to put a bed that you could sleep on in a closet. Some building codes actually have size specifications for sleeping quarters, so even if you managed to get a bed in the closet, you couldn't "officially" call it a bedroom.

The perspective of the first panel made me dizzy. Must be a really high ceiling.

If there's a moss garden next to the tub, those I-beams might not actually be intact.

Giggled at the bathroom bit. The Something Awful DIY forum is a hell of a place

Oh my god is that a beatmstrJ bathroom reference

That's so bender

Brun will get out of the closet if and when she chose to. Don't push her.

Brun gives me "La P'tite vie" vibes right now. My Québécois homies will get this.

As a former closet dweller in *multiple ways* I approve of this comic

Brun's face in the last panel is 💯👌💪

LOL- I read the title as he Renee Estate at first!
