building codes... i am glad he said it. but that aside... awesome.

i am all for styling out your life... but if your office is not a functioning as an office... it just does not make sense. if it was "styled out" with functioning office items that would make more sense and it would have more appeal.

this is a great example of how the right intentions (more space...ie shelving) was used and "styled out" not accordingly.

you do not need a globe, a glass apple nor a spool of grey yarn. also too the items are spread around and are not presented as a collection. maybe proximity could help...ie, push your items closer together.

i am going to pretend this is my home and just give suggestions that i think would make it look ... i guess "more put together"...

i would take everything off the walls.
--as stated above me: the structure and windows and everything else looks interesting. you are gilding the lily.

i would make that grey colour a darker colour.
--i can not tell what it is in the picture. but it is way to light and looks blue and accent walls are not interesting here. paint the sitting room one colour. make it dark. darker than the lamp shade. is the lamp shade a dark purple? because a dark de-saturated plum would be awesome to contrast with the green and yellow glass.

your furniture is way out of scale with the dimensions of the room.
--i would move the larger sofa to the centre of the wall with the window. is that not centre with the tv? i do not care. do it. this is where i am not sure what to do.

get rid of your out of scale wall things. that gecko above your entrance is scary.

get rid of your small chair. go away small chair; no one likes you. you are not helping.

the upholstered ottoman is cool but waaaaay to much overstuffed things.

you and i both know that tv stand was not going to fly. do not angle your tv. it is ugly and not functional. stop it.

i think a rug might help you pull things away from the walls.

get rid of those window coverings in the nook and burn them ... i mean, get some that touch the floor... but better yet the straight down-up roman shades. and then get a book case for that bit of wall and fill that puppy up with the things on that shelf in the kitchen.

try putting all your wall things in one area like the entrance way.

no more pillows. throws. agreed.

thats all i got.

why is that entire nook not a shelving unit yet?

the entire thing needs to be shelving... either with adjustable heights or designed so the fixed heights are helpful with most things. some baskets or some areas with drawers. done.

i despise when people "decorate" their toilet tank...

medusa12120 had me laughing for a good ten minutes!

that is not a pad for bachelorhood ... that is a sanctuary for any type of sect of human, that wishes to not be single any more.

if the tv and everything else can not change...
i would. paint the back wall a black. everything will disappear. then install ceiling to floor drapes in a colour or a lighter black (charcoal) in a black out weight or velvet. remove all the little accessories from the console and raise the tv (it looks too low)... then i would use a coloured drape for the sliding glass doors in a colour that matches the wall colour or an accent colour.

later, i might switch the tv console for something in white to draw your attention to the tv.

i honestly thought the list was going to be comprised of "do not"....

i am on a budget as well... trust me.
but am i the only one that thinks you should budget yourself at least a mattress?

good 'design' needs a great foundation. i am wary of this article.

i think being resourceful and patient make for great design and a greater sense of belonging.

the advice you give is perfect.

have you tried switching the white and wood media unit and the dark wood credenza?

i think i only think this because it would go so well with the white/blonde wood scheme in the kitchen.

everything is so cute!
