I know this won't be popular or even possible, but can you just remove the doorway/close up the wall? I'm not sure of the overall layout of the house, but that doorway seems more of a problem than ...

I like the "industrial" touches here and there, such as the gears and the switchplates. They really add character. Cool place!

SUCH an improvement. It is a much warmer room and I like your resourcefulness. Stark white and minimal isn't for everyone. This shows how much can be done for so little. Good job.

The island in the kitchen is great. I like how it ties in the wood from the small countertop and warms everything up. Also, the grey paint is very nice. Thanks for sharing!

I love your exterior paint. The purple trim is cool! Thanks for sharing!

Love the house tour - love the color of all of the walls, from the gray to the turquoise. Did NOT love the pop-up ads that kept blocking every photo and then turning to video. SO FREAKIN' ANNOYING....

I like the tips. More than that, I really like the photos from the book. Hmmm...might have to go on my list for Santa. :)

Normally I advocate painting/doing what you want with your own space, but in this instance I say PLEASE don't paint. Those cabinets are gorgeous. Paint the wall(s), retile the backsplash, install a...

Very sophisticated. I think this is a good example of blue paint done very well. I'm not usually a fan of accent walls, but this one I like very much. Your artwork is nice, too.

MrCranky, I don't think one's home has to "appear" before you can comment. Not at all. Comments and differing opinions are great, but all negative, all the time? That doesn't help anyone. This webs...

That garden is gorgeous. What an improvement! I wish I had a green thumb like Barbara. Sadly, I do not.

Also hejiranyc, I'd love to see YOUR house on AT someday. Looking over your comments, you do realize that you have never said anything nice or constructive? I know everyone is entitled to their opi...

The small vignettes are nice. I wish my place could be so clean and uncluttered. Hard to do when you share a space with someone else who is, shall we say... less tidy? Thank you for sharing!

Very cool. Very innovative. As for above the mantel - a round mirror would look good. Maybe an ornate/gilt framed mirror - just to be cheeky (agains the modern fireplace and furnishings). Post foll...

The bedroom and the dining room really inspire me. They are both so sophisticated. And the daughter's room? I would have KILLED for this room when I was 12. Heck, even now... Thanks for shar...

Nico_forgot: both items are in the House Tour. The coffee table is the low, red table and the copper bookshelf is between the bedroom area and the living room. (The bookshelf is nifty, indeed.)

Great apartment. There are so many things here that I like: the planter boxes, the houndstooth, the bed in the nook, and the pops of red. Very nice. Thanks for sharing, Sarina.

I would hang the shade a "tad" bit higher. But then again, I'm fairly tall and low hanging lights make me nervous...

Here's the wall mounted tv (LOVE it!): http://cohabit8ing.blogspot.com/2009/01/at-last.html and the article tha...
