Many craiglist scams start with someone who will email you saying something like "I saw your item on craigslist and would like to buy it. Please let me know if it is still available and what is the final price."

They always refer to "your item" never saying what it is that you are selling and they usually want to know the price, though of course you listed the price in the posting. They are not being specific because this is an email that they are sending to a number of people just looking for one that will bite. And these inquiries tend to come very shortly after you put your ad up. Whenever I get an inquiry that doesn't refer specifically to the item I am offering for sale (eg. "I am interested in the bike you have posted on craigslist"), I just delete it without a response.

Love it Love it Love it.

Great job.

Hmmm. I kind of feel like they need to go through the house and get rid of stuff. They are heavy on the shiney "luxe" fabrics and finishes, but not all of them are quality fabrics/finishes and it shows. If you are going to call attention to yourself you should be up to scrutiny and alot of pieces and elements in this place really don't stand up to scrutiny. Sorry.

I mean, Really. What can you say. It's awesome throughout. The downstairs formal dining and formal lounging room is my favorite. I've never heard of "formal" lounging, but I get it. If you are going to lounge around formally, this would be the place and the way to do it.

Wow, this is one of the nicest homes I've seen on this site in a long time. It looks like it was done by professional designers. There is just a great balance and flow to the space that works. The color palette is not for me -- I don't care for reds, and oranges, blacks and grey in my own environment (I go for pastels, so ...), but that still didn't keep me from finding their place really attractive. It looks like a place they can really live in and enjoy. The art work is interesting and thoughtfully placed and nothing about the apartment seems forced or contrived. I really like it.

Wow, that's cute. She packs a whole lot of homey into a small space. All the pieces are interesting and well chosen. The mix of patterns, colors and finishes are nice. It just seems to work -- everything you need, laid out stylishly and without a lot of clutter and junk. If your space is pretty and well-thought out, you really don't need a lot of if. I like.

Oy.

Congratulations ! Its a beautiful apartment and seems like a really comforting place to come home to. Kudos for putting your design education to work right away. The combination of finishes -- the wash on the trunk, the gloss/"laquer" finish of the shelves, the sheen of the mirrored surfaces and chrome/steel/silver pieces is a nice substitute for color and really works in a small space. WELL DONE !

Wow. It took a good eye and knowledge about the chair's pedigree to see it's potential. Great job.

I like a wood back but a cushioned seat really makes a big difference. If you are like most, you probably use your dining table for more than just dining, ie doing paperwork, etc. And I notice that when people stop by my place, as hard as I try to usher them into the living room, they tend to hang out at the dining table as it is a perfect set-up for group conversation. That being the case, I would say you should definitely go for the most comfortable seats you can get. I actually bought wood back seats with cushion seats and ended up having the seats redone to make them a little thicker and more comfortable. As for cushioned backs, I find that people very rarely sit back in the dining chair and since an open wood back is lighter visually, I go for that.
