Thanks so much folks! To answer your questions so far:

@RowRowRow - Good ideas! I have thought about maybe doing an accent wall and changing out some of the throw pillows to add some more color - I just moved into this house 3 months ago, so we're still adjusting.

@Kgraham86, cptnruthless, & mimi2856 - Thank you!

@fdixon - You can see more of the whole house on my blog, http://www.musingsandnonsense.com if you want to see more of the colors we used.

@MollyBrown - Thanks! We bought it from West Elm back in 2007, so unfortunately, I don't think they carry them anymore. It was called the "Modern Media Console".

@Ms. Vickie - Why thank you! I agree - I love all of the wood tones we have too. You're right - the colors definitely bring them out!

@applebomb - Thank you so much! I'm a big fan of simple, clean and clutter-less. ;)

@candacetherenter - Nope, I didn't post any photos of the kitchen... I really don't like the cabinetry and didn't want to subject anyone to having to look at it. ;) If you really want to see it, you can check it out here.

@ThePinkSuperhero - Why thank you! And yes, I adore the Chirp shower curtain. It's just so cheerful!

@California Sleepybears - Thank you - the sunken living room was part of what sold us on renting the apartment. It's a great floorplan. The photos are a bit dark - I had taken most of them at night so that you could clearly see the paint colors, which happen to be a bit on the darker side, to cozy up the large room sizes. The apartment doesn't get direct sunlight, but since both the bedroom and living room have one full wall of windows, it does get a nice amount of indirect light.

It's so true. Nothing beats a fresh and clean apartment.

What a great book!

@rachel24: Thank you so much! The color is Benjamin Moore #453 "Adirondack Green".

Thanks for all of the positive comments, folks!

@idontdobeige: Thank you! I'll give that a try - swapping the record cabinet and the chair in the area by the door. You may be right!

@sam59: Thank you!

@msjessiemeghan: Thank you! We have to be quite creative in that area, which means getting rid of excess quite often, but that's never a bad thing. :)

@nico_forgot: Me too - I especially love our sink since its so deep and an under counter style.

@drettagliata: Thanks! It definitely took some moving around, but we finally got everything where it works well together and takes advantage of what space we have available. It was like a real life game of tetris!

@boston_kat: It's a great TV stand. I absolutely adore it. We got it about three years ago at West Elm, but I don't think they sell it anymore. It was called the "Modern Media Storage" - it had both the tv stand and a larger console in the same collection. They were available in espresso (what we have) and acorn with white doors.
