This is exactly what I aspire to one day. Simply amazing. Your home is so inspirational and will definitely be archived for future reference :). I feel like hopping on the Chinatown bus to come visit your store this weekend!

Chelsea flea market comes highly recommended as well (a little less pricier I feel too)! Don't forget the multi-level parking garage across the street :).

At first when I saw the ceiling, I had thought you were trying to cover up ductwork. Not working for me so much...

On the other hand, I give you immense credit for painting all that paneling, looks absolutely fantastic.

Great transformation on a great budget!

[Love the comment, Patrick (the other one)!]

Perhaps it's just me, but I don't really foresee the walls getting that dirty? The heels won't be continuously moving along the mouldings once placed - they should stay in one position for a great deal of time, no? Of course I clearly understand the grime from walking the streets of NYC, but I guess I just don't see too much of a problem. As someone stated above, these shoes are not worn every day. Plus, it'll look fantastic and it might just be worth a little elbow grease if necessary :).

I loved the color scheme of your original post so much that I used it as inspiration for my roommate's bedroom design. I really enjoy the use of steel gray/blue mixed with metallic gold as well as red. I personally prefer symmetry so I like the two red chairs as nightstands better. Perhaps propping up all the pillows (NOT having two tucked under the linens) would help make it look less dorm like? I also think a nice accent pillow to tie everything together would help (perhaps something with all the colors in it?). Lastly, I feel like the art may be too big and too low in conjunction with the puzzle pieces?? I agree with a small ledge...or maybe just let the puzzles speak for themselves?

I think it will come together eventually - it will definitely take time - hang in there! Took me a good two years to love my bedroom as it has evolved...but when you do, it's heaven and completely worth the wait! :)

HELPFUL HINT: Try taking a photograph of your room with just the basics and photoshop things in and out before committing to something drastic. This helps you to envision all the ideas better and helps make decisions.

GeeBee40, I am appalled and embarrassed at your exceptionally rude comment.

As an interior designer, I believe there is absolutely nothing wrong with the use of IKEA. It is a simple, inexpensive way to utilize well designed finishes and furnishings without ripping a gouging hole in your wallet. Yes, the quality is not exceptional, however, most other places that charge an arm and a leg don't have the greatest quality either.

Jennifer, I applaud you. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home. IKEA it up, hun.
