Yes... I just did this! Had the ceiling in my bedroom painted hot pink. It's warm, sexy and cozy. I love it. Got the tip from an article on House Beautiful where Mary McDonald suggested it.

Love the coziness of the lofted bedroom. Well done.

Ooooh moody, sexy, and masculine. Love all the textures and large scale artwork. You have my vote. Now vote for my tiny entry! ;)

@citipearl - My mother uses that expression too! So when I saw that painting at Juicy Wine Bar in Chicago... I had to have it. I bought both pieces off the wall. The artist Michel Balasis is fantastic. I love his interpretation of Lichtenstein.

@SarahFeldman - The couch is from CB2. No seams... so it's essentially like a twin size bed for friends who crash for the wknd. Here's the link: http://www.cb2.com/sofas/furniture/movie-walnut-sofa/f3856

@helanother - Chairs are from Anthropologie. And, yes, those are trees off Lake Shore Drive at early spring and winter! The artist is Michael McGuire and I bought those pieces at Las Manos Gallery in Chicago. Link: http://www.lasmanosgallery.com/gallery_artist_mcguirepg1.html

Beautiful place - great job! Love how dramatic it is! By the way, a friend really likes that "I'd Rather Be Thrifting" artwork... where did you get it? I saw something similar on an Etsy shop but it wasn't as great as the version you have. Do tell!

Thanks for all the votes and sweet comments! Here are some more answers to your questions:

@xlaurenx - The dining table is from CB2 but it's been discontinued and the link isn't live anymore. The chairs are from Anthropologie... they don't have the exact pattern I bought but here's something similar: http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=963083&catId=HOME-FURNITURE-CHAIRS&pushId=HOME-FURNITURE-CHAIRS&popId=HOME-FURNITURE&navAction=middle&navCount=84&color=008&isProduct=true&fromCategoryPage=true&templateType=D

@dolphinblue106 - The entertainment console is from IKEA. And the side table is from West Elm. Here's the link: http://www.westelm.com/products/bookshelf-side-table-g130/?pkey=ccoffee-side-tables

@traveler23 - Yes, @ohmaggie is right! They're from IKEA. Super cheap and great.

@DanaJS - The exact gray is Benjamin Moore "Dior Gray". I'm obsessed with it. Highly recommend. The wall by my bed is Benjamin Moore "Bunny Gray".

@The_Basics_Magazine - Thanks! I agree... something about the informality of framed artwork on the floor. I dig it. Those pieces happen to be pages out of Andrew Zuckerman's book "Music"... a portrait of Lenny Kravitz and a quote by him. The frames are just IKEA.

@PattyD - Glad you got the strategic placement. :)

@Ofelia - You're the first person to give a shout-out about my dog... thanks! Her name is Ethel.

@catatonia72 - I wavered back and forth about including a picture of the kitchen and/or bathroom but honestly there's no "design" to them. It's a standard rental... so I felt that out having 5 pictures - it didn't help add to the story of the place. If I had a couple more slots - I would have posted them.

@Carmen_Stan - The bed is from CB2. It's called the Rudder bed... but unfortunately it looks like it's discontinued! Here's the link: http://reviews.cb2.com/7259/5022/rudder-bed-reviews/reviews.htm

@eise0100 - I wish I could say that was intentional... I didn't measure the opening for the TV and literally almost cried when it didn't fit. Thankfully once I took the stand off it slid in just perfectly. Worked out for the better though - I like how it looks without the stand!

Thanks everyone for the votes so far! I appreciate all your nice comments. :)

The paintings are by a Chicago artist named Michel Balasis. His website is: http://www.mbpopart.com/

@pheebs79 - The rug is from West Elm. It's called the Pebble Stripe Rug. I think it may be discontinued though. Here's the link: http://www.westelm.com/products/pebble-stripe-rug-r900/
