I always make a pile. I need the visual reminder, and it helps me decide which suitcase or backpack is large enough for the trip!

I like the paint job!
However, those shutters on the second floor annoy me because they are not the size of the windows! Even if they are never meant to close, I think it should be made to fit.

Love the wall color!

I think Weck jars look fantastic but they are impractical once you open it. I have an opened strawberry jam in a Weck jar in my fridge right now, and I had to secure the glass top with saran wrap. I prefer a screw top lid any day.

Lovely room! I love the monochromatic style, it reduces the busyness when toys and clothes are out and about.

I was an unaccompanied minor at age 12 during my first flight ever, from Amsterdam to London. A flight attendant drove me to the right gate in one of those carts, great fun. I would have found the right gate by myself actually, I remember the signage was very easy to follow. After the flight I had to wait for all the passengers to exit the plane, so I was allowed into the cockpit and had a chat with the pilot. I think it's safe enough, with familymembers on both ends of the flight, what can possibly go wrong?

Love your system with the jars! My cats are allowed on the table as well, unless we're eating there (and I wipe it clean beforehand).

Love the yard, but not sure about those shutters. The windows were already cute in the Before, they only needed a lick of paint. The shutters would work better if they were the same blue as the window, and if they could actually close (looks too fake now).

Lovely house but I still don't like the DIY curtains (featured here before), the pattern is too dominating for me.

Love the atmosphere you created! One question though, why not lower the TV seeing you don't have a functioning fireplace anyway?

In my country (The Netherlands) all pharmacies accept leftover/expired pills for safe disposal. I thought this was universal.

In the Netherlands, St. Nicholas day is a major holiday, so most people don't put their Christmas decorations up until after December 6th.

It's also frowned upon when stores are prematurely decorated with Santa Claus, as it would seem the american traditions are replacing our own.

One of the nicest apartments I've seen in a while, but the house tour itself is badly executed with double/triple photos from every point of view!

Anyway, great use of the space, love the new kitchen, the minimalistic style, everything.

Last week the fancy new word was "glamping" (glamour+camping), this week it's "gypset", enough already. Stop with the silly abbreviations so we can focus on the interiors again.

If you're gonna recycle/round up a photo that has already been posted today at http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/boston/highstyle-vacation-rentals-121661 , I wouldn't pick that particular photo as the one to show up on the homepage.

I get neck strain just looking at the second photo. I can understand why they did it, though. Anywhere else, the TV would block some of the lovely windows.

Placing the television inside a fireplace seems like a clever idea at first but it's too low for my taste. The coffee table would block the view, good thing it's transparent in the third photo.

Love the view and the porch, but it's too "intense" for me indoors.

I disagree with the comments that said it's too stale or not homey. In a small room like this, little "personal" knick knacks would make this room look cluttered real fast. Don't forget Kittie lives, works and sleeps in the same room.

Those white hands at the stairs are creepy but everything else is really awesome.

Lovely place!

It amazes me that even the teeny tiny apartments in the US have a bath. I live in a 910 sq ft apartment in Europe and only have a shower. :(
