great lights and the neutral walls allow all of your items to "pop" without overwhelming. Did you paint the apartment? Really nice space.

Totally agree about the photos. Very hard to view and get any sense of space. Seems like a wasted opportunity.

I am also sick, and hate the way dishes, cups, etc. multiply exponentially in an hour's time. I do think the best way is to be gentle with oneself and realize health is more important at the moment. Though it also really points out how much environment effects well-being. I FEEL like I am on the road to recovery when I use that burst of energy to tidy up. Then I usually crash and sleep though...:)

I also got one of these, against my will, for the holidays. People who like them definitely want to convert others. I already just do a single pour-over cup in the morning, so I did not need this. I enjoyed a few of the blends it came with, but when I looked at replacing them, OMG sticker shock!!! Ten bux or more for a box of 12 or 16 "pods." Felt prohibitively expensive. I'll wait for next year's stocking stuffers...

One of my favorite tours ever! That shade of yellow downstairs works so well for your cozy, colorful yet elegant look. LOVE!

I really like this place. But did anyone else notice that the bedroom seemed really crowded, with little room to walk between dresser and bed? Wondering if that is a difficulty...

Love the earthiness of this home, and the other tour today from Silver Lake. The white walls and layers of texture are like a palette cleanser for the Room for Color contest!

Lovely, warm, personal and balanced space. The reds in the rug, wall hanging and small table really work against that blue.

that cat bed is adorable!

yep, my cat wears the same dress size and lolls around on the table. Adorable, and I really like how your "rustic vintage" warms up what could be a chilly and predictable space. Also like your use of small shelves here and there for vignettes. Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

I realize now why this is such a conundrum for me: any solution such as a basket or a pile on a chair will instantly equal cat bed for one or both of my kitties. One is a white cat with long hair, which turns the not quite dirty clothes into a cat hair magnet. whatever I do must be way up high off the floor or enclosed....


5 Ways to Keep Worn (But Not Dirty) Clothes Organized

I have no suggestions. I just feel comforted that I am not the only one who struggles with this, and even has a category of clothes that falls between clean and dirty. Support group, anyone?
