At first look, I thought boring, but after really looking at the detail, this is an amazingly decorated home that doesn't look like it costs much. Even though it isn't an apartment. This is a good transition from broke funky thrift, to classy sophisticated comfy. For 30 somethings like myself, I am stealing these ideas!

I really like this and I am a color person as well. Great job on including the tile in with the bathroom theme. I like the way you hung your art over your sofa as well.

Great job!

Love the animal skin rug and color combos. I love the simplicity and blue contrasts.

I agree with Benja Dena. Ikea sofas are cool, but we don't buy them for more than 5 years. They are cheap, stylish and modern. If you want a solid couch that stands the test of time, it won't always be stylish. Unless it is vintage.

Very modern, which I usually don't like. But this is fabulous.

You have some dynamite pieces (the blue lamp and the dresser). Less is more when one thing is amazing!

I love the clean, orderly, organized yet still lived in feel to your place. It looks like you use everything and put it write back in its place.

I like the close ups and textures of your place. I just wish one splash of color could liven up the brown.

I am with underthesun. I like your bravery in pulling this all together and there lots of ideas that can come out of this!

Hmm, a lot going on. Too many prints spoil the motif.

I love that you didn't need to paint to create color in your place. Is that Julius Irving on the Cover of GQ??? Cool

I like this. Simple, clean and functional. Minimalism is the new black!

LOVE that blue wall and the stark yellow chair. Those contrasts throughout your pad generate a really creative yet calming theme. Great

This is crazy. I don't know how you can sleep in this. Either the blue or the pink. but take out the green and the metal.

Um Mandy, can you reupholster my Ikea couch? I have a nikkala and I LOVE it but the cover is wearing thin. You are so creative and yes have an amazing gift for color and placement!

This is why I love Apartment Therapy. Young affordable and creative design. You guys used the resources within your subculture to create a fun, clean and colorful home.

These big "MTV Cribs" homes are boring and no different than what we see on HGTV.

This design works because it requires more than a big budget. It requires innovation and thought!

Really, really love this. I like the randomness of the art and how it all comes together in the end.

I also really like the mixed woods. I am so tired of espresso. I started with espresso in my home and now I am already bored of it.

I LOVE this place. It reminds me of a colorful splash where every splash falls into place.

I like the mix and match and it feels lived in but comfortable.

The yellow chair by the door is easily my favorite.
