Very nice. I'm not usually a fan of white walls, but I like the ways you added color throughout.

Very nice! All the details add up to a really special space. The pink lining of the black kitchen light is unexpected and fun. :)

Thanks, NY

This is so feminine and elegant, and, yes, happy.

Can you talk about your hanging globe light?

I'm a real estate agent in Hoboken, NJ and I wish more apartments were as colorful and creative as this one!

Nichole well done!
The best flat I've seen so far!
Lovely, original and with lots of ideas to copy. ;0)
And the pendant looks just yummy!

THANK GOD, finally something that doesn’t look like its right out of the Ikea or Jonathan Adler catalog. Good job!!!

I'd rename it "A Lot of Happy" instead of a little bit -- so many things to delight the eye (color, texture, design, pattern). Funny, no one is complaining about gray (which I happen to like!) because there is so much else going on! I keep looking at the pics over and over to take it all in. Brava!

My favorite entry so far. Really lovely. Did you do the photographs? They are wonderful. I love the gray cabinets in the kitchen. Good luck.

Where is the mirror piece from? I'm in love -- so beautiful!!

The mirror was a beat up antique that I found on Craigslist and painted silver. It probably my most favorite piece in our home.

Your place is FANTASTIC - *love* the use of black in such a dramatic fashion - while not letting it take over...
