Keefe1's Profile

I have to agree with you Sydney, not finalist material. Nice but..........

-James C: Bought the sofa and love seat, which is in storage, at Mostly Sofa's in Roanoke VA but you can get buy the same product (Ekornes Stressless Seating) at many locations around the country. Here in Philly, Dane Decor carries the line.

-SFS: Dane Decor on those also. Not sure who made them but the lead time was over three months :-(. They work out great as I separate them and use as two small tables!

-Mela: I own the condo. Bought it just over 18 months ago.

-Ducanti1978: Your building is very cool! Looking forward to seeing your entry next year! Thanks for the comments.

Thanks for everyone's comments; both good and bad. Here are answers to the questions that have been posed:

-Only one room because of an error in judgment when submitting. I did have decent photo's of the kitchen and bedroom (yes, they are decorated) but am now regretting the decision not to put them up also.

-One Eyed Darma: Rent for a 1 bdrm is in the Chinatown area is between $800-$1500. Purchase range starts around $200,000. There are some new condos between 9th & 10th that are starting at $268,000. Next time you are in the neighborhood, you should try Sang Kee Peking Duck House on 9th and Vine. Great food!

-Rob in PDX: That sexy clock was purchased at Scarlett Alley (web link is in my entry)!

-Liz: The desk is not from West Elm but a store in the Balt/DC area. Can't remember the name of it or find the receipt. They also had a small shelf for the back of it that had about an 8" lift, which I didn't purchase but wish I did now.

-elizabeth in AL/Yona: The yellow color is Afternoon Tea from Lowes (American Tradition). Thanks for liking it!

-arza/pbgirl: Yes, the loft is used only for storage. A bit difficult to get to, as I need to bring a ladder from the bedroom (which you would have saw if I had used my head and posted a photo of it), swing the couch out and lay it against the wall to climb up into the loft area.

-buzzybee/mposter: Believe it or not, the window treatments are from Ikea.............

-palousian: Thanks for the comments/suggestions. Actually the space is not very cold if you could see it in person, with the exception of the leather couch (guess that piece is a guy thing). I have used fresher colors in the kitchen (orange) and bedroom (bright green).

-mposter: Chinatown is evolving into a nice place to live. I also moved from Old City and love how convenient it is to Center City, Old City and Washington Square.

Love ALL the colors! It great to see that you are not afraid of them.

Wish there was a better photo of the storage system but the the limit of three, understand why there isn't. BEAUTIFUL place!
