What color/brand is the peachy pink in #9? Anyone know?

Just last night while waiting for our train, my husband and I saw a giant rat on the subway platform, which is a bit unusual, as they keep mostly to the tracks. We watched as it brazenly sauntered up to sniff the shoe of a man standing there unaware. We and several others shouted at the man to warn him and he was amazingly unfazed when he saw it so close to his foot. The rat scampered away, down into the tunnel. Can you see that in a small town? I think not! :) Still, I love being car-free. (But gosh I love to get out of town to the country sometimes!)

I love it. Way cuter than before - nice job!

It's Wednesday morning and I'm back to look at the Tuesday Kitteh Cuteness. That lil grey guy cracks me up - he knows how bad he is.

Seems to me those who are horrified by these photos are kinda missing the point. As PixieDust so aptly put it: "Kittehs don't always follow the house rules."

I agree the super pink shower tiles do not jive with the vintage peachy-pink and black tiles, and question if those super pinks really are original, or if they were a past reno that tried (and failed) to match the peachy-pink tiles and/or mimic a Mamie vibe.

However, the after is just sadly sterile, IMO. I would have at least kept the peach tiles and the floor tiles. But, to each his own.

Amazing post, photos and (almost) finished transformation! I'm a fan of the white subway tile, so I look forward to your updates. I think the dark countertops idea will work with your future farmhouse table.

Personally, I love those chairs, but they probably won't work with your future farmhouse table, so I'll take them off your hands when the time comes. ;)

Meh. I prefer the "Before." KIDDING.

This is truly gorgeous.

Gorgeous aqua color - love it!

Seeing your exposed brick apartment took me right back to my old east village apartment, but that's not the reason I love-love-love your place! It is creative and cool without being too designery, and it hit me with a such a good feeling that I favorited it right away. I adore your color choices (as you can tell by my moniker, lime is a favorite color of mine) and artwork (especially the Boston T paint-by-numbers). I can relate to your excitement over finding those green chairs at a flea market! All in all, I love the creative way you put everything together. And your hand-drawn & colored floor plan is just the cutest thing. I hope you and George win!
