Practical, yes, but often claustrophobic. I'd go for the second-to-last one though. Lots of visual interest (manages not to look too monochromatic, too) and the wide counters keep it from looking c...

Great place, makes me want to settle right in (other than the couch and matching chair, which might be comfortable but just don't go with anything else and are not a style I care for).

The red one is great as is (unless the upholstery is in bad shape). I know what you mean about the Eames chair... my parents have one (originally two but one was ruined by movers) and while we love...

Ah, if only American apartments were like this! European cities are full of big old gorgeous apartments but I've only encountered a very few American apartments that are comparable. I mean the spac...

That link to the London bathroom is stunning! Impractical (unless there's a drain somewhere in the floor) but gorgeous.

Only the last photo gives any idea what it's actually like. Intriguing in terms of the shapes--sculpturally exciting--but all that white is kind of nightmarish to me. Sort of like I'd died and got ...

Wish I'd found that bookcase! I just finished oiling a similar four-shelf unit that cost me (if I remember correctly) $200 at a second-hand shop 15 years ago. They're great, really keep dust (and i...

That's all very well, but we can find out about nice tile practically anywhere. Shouldn't Apartment Therapy focus more on... well... the special issues relating to apartments? Most of us can't put ...

All a matter of preference, I guess. Now that I've been to a few higher-end hotels, my reaction has been that they've generally been a lot worse designed than the average Motel 6 bathroom of say 19...

Another vote for the window. All the above positives. Really, the negatives are so easily dealt with.

Lovely photos! However, while I often like black in a bathroom, in most of the photos the tile looks dark blue and actually I think those photos are the most appealing of the lot. The glowing lamp ...

Nice job, and congrats on putting it together so well. I say no more jealous-grownup comments on this.

I like the bottom four, but have to agree they would be insanely hard to maintain. Personally I find it hard enough to keep regular lampshades clean, and I always wonder how people who buy little b...

Yeah, I think it's broken. Didn't work last night or this morning.

Rabbits in this apartment. (One is currently lounging in the bathroom doorway where she can keep an eye on me.) Rabbit-proofing depends a bit on the individual rabbit (usually the older the rabbit,...

I'm always enchanted by this kind of setup for cats. But cats do have a whole pet industry devoted to their scratching and climbing needs. I'm dying to find someone (or become that someone eventual...

I'm always amazed that the 6-months or 1-year idea for clothes actually works for anyone. Annalyssa points out 6 months is impractical in places that have extreme climate differences between winter...

If I had the money, I'd be very tempted. The couch is gorgeous! And the chair's not bad either. The question is, are they comfortable?

While I'm not wild about it, I think some of the previous comments have been awfully harsh. The space does have potential, and it looks much nicer than a lot of college students' (and post-college ...

I like it...
