DUCHESS OF DISTINCTION (!)

Remarkably accurate, although I prefer to go by CZARINA OF STYLE.
"Your home will be quite a masculine environment, but nonetheless you want a place that is comfortable, with an air of well-worn maturity: you enjoy the good things in life, and that includes the furniture and furnishings around you. What could look quite conservative is, in fact, seriously self-indulgent - in the very best sense, of course, as every dream home should be."

Who knew?

Ron-

You have a moral duty to make sure as many people as possible see your perfect small space (that goes for you too, judges). Just think how much better the world would be if McMansion enthusiasts everywhere turned away from the cult of gigantica rooms, weirdly vaulted ceilings and shiny commercial light fixtures because you showed them the way to aesthetic salvation. Hallelujah.

By the way, Ron, I LOVE the updates. The new rug is delightful. Who knew such a small thing could alter the mood of the whole room? Thank you, thank you thank you for the video. I was itching to see what the kitchen and bathroom looked like. I knew they would be terrific, and I was not at all disappointed. The lamps and dog in the bathroom are so fun without looking contrived. How did you do that??
Good luck!

This is the winner. Others are good, some even great. But this is masterful. When I first saw pics of this apartment online in December I had what can only be described as a religious experince. I saw the proverbial light---many of them, actually. And they were all spectacular. Even the shades were outstanding! Just look how the banding on the yellow lamps compliments the drapes; Either feature is terrific alone. Put together, however, and the room just snaps. Brilliant! And look at the sitting area furniture, stylishly defying the well-founded rule dictating judicious use of leather (especially white leather). I thought it couldn't be done. I was wrong. There is not one thing I would change here. Not one. Indeed, I now know perfection is possible.
Ron- I was an athesit before you....
