"These look huge for NYC or did I assume city but it really included state."

"If you look at the links - some of these aren't in NYC nor are they in apartments."

except for the third kitchen which is from a home in Connecticut (I apologize for the error in calling it a New York kitchen) the rest are all in New York City homes.

patrick(the other one) Good description! MMM. I like it. I was not going for MCM specifically but do like and admire it so I try to find cheaper versions of it or things that remind me of it. The fabric on the dining chairs is Serafina from Pottery Barn and very obviously "inspired" by a Josef Frank pattern so I think that may be the Scandinavian influence Lisa was referring to.
The color on the walls is Tundra by Benjamin Moore. (after shot)
I happen to love antiques and seriously coveted some of the previous owners pieces but just find out style and budget lean heavily in other ways. mainly affordable, comfortable, natural with other "labels" thrown in for some style.

I think it is a scrim or stretched canvas with nothing on it cause you can still see the silhouette of the headboard as well as the ceiling deatil through it

Anna Europe: yes, I do cook actually! quite a bit. Perhaps I am just one of those, as someone previously mentioned, that doesn't have the gift of cooking neatly. :)

I do suppose cleaning a mirror may in fact be easier than cleaning another kind of backsplash. However by having the mirror there in the first place, your eye is drawn to it and splashes and or spatters are therefore that much more noticeable.

@thorndale jute rug is fine on bare feet. sure its rougher than a wool or other material rug but it is still comfortable.
@ciscogirl1 yes, fridge is painted. see this link:

The resource list is linked within the Elle Decor article but I'm not sure the dining table is listed. The living room chairs are by Steven Gambrel.

absolutely love this loft! The tin ceiling over the dining area, the nightstand/shelf system next to the bed, the huge windows. one of my all time favorites too!

Elvis - Simon is actually as well-behaved as he looks! When he was a kitten and would scratch on furniture we just sprayed him with a water bottle. He got the message pretty darn quick. I think we only sprayed him twice. He does dig his claws into the rug and then stretches but as long as he isn't really scratching it up, I'm okay with that.

Wow. Thanks for all the nice comments!
Coffee tables are from Viva Terra. I listed all the sources I could think of in the text.
klt108 - the odd little door under the kitchen window is a refrigerator of sorts? Ours is sealed so tightly shut we cannot use it for anything.
kendokendokendo - the place came with the mirror already in the closet door but I looked closely and looks like if you just get a mirror cut to size and then attach molding around it it would work.
