Love it. Can you share the dark turquoise green paint color in your kitchen & bedroom (it appears to be the same)? Thanks!

I just love it, ever since we saw your bedroom the first time it was on AT. Your whole place is so plush and comfortable while still seeming very organized. Would love to see the bathroom and kitchen reno - hoping for a full apartment tour soon!

What if you did dark gray walls, probably white floors, hung some narrow, light gray towels with narrow light blue accent towels, and replaced the mirror with one with similar lines to those on the sink and bathtub?

This is so warm and wonderful. Where in the city is it? And have you thought about painting one of the living room walls (or all of them) to highlight the exposed brick? Just a thought - it is beautiful either way.

A Cabinet-Painting Idea for the Color Wary

Absolutely. I always have favorite colors for spaces, but they tend to travel in pairs, and shift around on their own. A running favorite of mine is coral red plus aqua green - in college, I wanted both colors loud, and everywhere. Now, I see the value in using muted versions of those colors, or even using grays or other neutrals primarily, and using my favorite red/green duo in pops of color to accent the space. Sometimes, too, they shift - I fall for more turquoises than aquas, or more clementines than coral reds.

jenawithonen - I made up the recipe, which is why I didn't include it, but I did follow the basics of the "easy ricotta gnocchi" recipe above. Mine is here: http://bakingforsustaining.wordpress.com/2011/03/13/blue-potato-gnocchi-mushroom-rue/
