I also have the Norden, it's an ideal art desk for my small apartment. It can be configured to different tabletop sizes depending on the project (with both wings out it's HUGE), and can be folded a...
I have almost the exact same layout (glass doors and all!) in my JC apartment, yet you've transformed your space into something completely, utterly different- it's really quite amazing. Thank you f...
"Isn't that the whole point of DIY- to save money?"
Sometimes, the point of a DIY is to make something that's exactly what you want and that works/fits perfectly with your space. Espec...
Another vote for ceiling to floor curtains on both sides of the fireplace!
Not only will it give you an opportunity to add some warm color to the place, it will also help create a bet...
This entry serves as a great reminder of why context matters so much when choosing color. The colors and spaces needed by a person living in a snowy climate can differ so much from those living in ...

I'll add my vote in for Decorator White, if you are looking for a warm and bright white (it has trace amounts of Yellow Oxide and Burnt Umber pigment, if I recall). I just finished a long windowles...
As an alternative to painting the back of the shelving unit, you could leave it white and paint or wallpaper the rest of the room a different color- even a slight contrast could make the space 'pop'.
While I'm not sure if the pattern of the wallpaper would drive me crazy, the prospect of having to remove the stuff from the ceilings someday almost certainly would. When I first moved into my last...
Another vote for giving studios their own category! The design challenges for those spaces are so significantly different- but then again, there's a distinct difference in designing for a 150 sq ft...
Weasel,
This is a very common apartment/condo layout in NYC and surrounding areas, mostly in pre-war buildings. However, there's a range of diversity in how the interiors of railroad a...
