She may not be able to edit the furniture - she said it came with the house and isn't hers.

Your big mirror and goldfish piece rock. I personally hate red - so to me it feels overpowering in this space.

But I like how each area has a differnt 'vibe': to me, the living area says modern, the bed area kind of vintage, and the dining area glamorous.

I really like the bedroom area - it's cozy, relaxing, simple. I have GOT to try the white string lights in my room : )

What was the point of picture #4? A chair and shelf? You could have used that picture to show us the kitchen or bathroom. And the bedroom picture is a waste ... another chair and a footboard.

On a side note, I find it interesting that at least 8 of the comments are from commenters who have only been AT "members" for a day or two.

Sorry, just think this entry is extremely padded.

ilissa - Thanks for that link! I have a gorgeous credenza & coffee table with the exact problems Morgan's chest of drawers had. I was afraid to stain in case it ruined the original finish, which I LOVE. Thank you SOO much!

Awesome! Sooo much better in black! Good call on painting the ENTIRE piece (including some of the crystal/glass). Totally inspirational.

urbancricket: Score on that headboard! So cool! I think a pair of sconces would be pretty on either side of the center of the headboard.

I would suggest something a little abstract for an art piece above the center on the headboard - as the lines of the headboard itself are very defined. Also, I would be sure to include the gray/blue (?) color of the bedding in this piece to bring it up between your (stunning!) gold window treatments.

I too personally preferred the before, the brown tub? Kinda cool! I probably would have hated it if I lived there though.

Why is the middle cabinet door on the new vanity glass? To highlight plumbing? I don't get it :/

Very very nice. You can totally tell you didn't rush - each piece has a purpose and it all flows together wonderfully! It seems that you have perfectly incorporated both of your styles. It's very balanced -Excellent job!

I'm using a standard 2-drawer file cabinet as a nightstand right now. Mostly because I live with a roommate and I have no other place for it - but it works well enough.

I spray painted it but it got scuffed in the move, and the top is a little dented, so I was thinking about looking for a new one. Hopefully one with 3 drawers so I can use the top one as an actual drawer. There's plenty of surface space for a lamp, small box of tissue, a couple of drinking glasses, pill bottles, tv/dvd remotes, my phone, and a box I keep misc. stuff in like extra buttons, cough drops, nail polish remover, etc.

I LOVE the Helmer (thanks for posting about it!) but I still need spaces for files and papers :(

Every room but the bedroom heeds the advice about not buying furniture sets that match. I definitely agree with the advice - I don't like the showroom look at all.
