Craigslist and Streeteasy. In 2004 I found a rent controlled studio in East Midtown through a broker from craigslist. I paid a fee. The place was a dump but I was just happy to live in Manhattan for under $1,000 a month. 5 years later I wanted to live in a 'real' apartment. So I found my current 1-bedroom from streeteasy. I think Streeteasy is a great tool - you can narrow down your search by all your criteria as well as budget and you can get a lot of info about the places. Many of them are no-fee. Mine was no fee too and I love my place.

Hard to see the pure effect of repositioning. I like the before better: it's cleaner and calmer. The after scene is too cluttered and busy by comparison.

I think the teak desk is by a Danish company Domino Mobler. I have a desk just like that - the drawer handles are different but the line/cut is unmistakable. This is a gorgeous piece...

@Greenladypants & @biras - the first color I think up is yellow. Red and yellow combination looks feels so cozy!

I have skeins of wool yarn in this color sitting in the closet for years. Maybe I'll whip up an eternity scarf or something. But I agree with Kandyce78 about going shopping. And there gotta be a better name for this color. It's not exactly hot pink or fuschia. It has a little touch of yellow in it but I won't call it coral either.

A Nespresso machine and three canisters (Orla Kiely for Target) which I use to store 'loose' items such as coffee pods, sweets, and supplement bottles.

That's a gorgeous piece! A thing of beauty is a joy forever indeed. If you absolutely love it and it's something you use and look at everyday, it's worth a splurge.

The french settee looks pretty.
