Cool space! I love that it feel like a real person lives here. Very welcoming in a cool, industrial way.

P.S. I hate to say anything bad but I really distracted by so many out of focus photos or that focused on random things while the main idea was blurry.

I'm working on my bedroom right now. Wishing I could enter but unfortunately right now it's an unsightly 1/2 home office while we're taking forever to renovate our real home office space. Maybe next year.

Amazing! I'm obsessed with this house. The dark woods, the stunning kitchen, your library off your bedroom...wow!

I have a similar color pallete in my home so I enjoyed this house tour. I have icy blue walls with white trim and dark reddish wooden furniture. Love the anatomical print! I think my little kids would be terrified of it if I has it in my home.

I bought a small painting that was done on paper from an etsy painter that i love and I was able to get a black gallery style frame from target. I didn't spend much but it makes a wonderful impact and looks expensive!

Plunger man was probably someone like my husband. I often send him to the store for me because if he says he's getting 3 things he comes home with 3 things. He thinks it's a waste of time and money to get anything else.

The photo used in this article makes it all confusing, since it works there.

I'm a huge fan of black, but not sure I could live in a black house. Sounds like bad luck. I do love the first and last houses.

What a difference! Great job.

I've done something similar in my home. We painted our cabinets and have gradually updated our appliances. It looks very similar to yours, but we did red on bottom instead or green. My husband wanted all new cabinets but we can't afford it because we have other areas in our home that also need some TLC

My three kids share one room. The key is to edit belongings and only have essentials. They love it and it's so easy to put them to bed all at once. My kids are 6, 4 and 2. They love sharing a room. They're a team.

When we first bought our home we didn't have any kids.

I've always fantasized about ironing my sheets. It seems so luxurious, but i'm just way too busy. I stay home with my three small children and i have so many other daily chores i can't even keep up with the laundry, much less iron it.

It looks messy and like she forgot that Apartment Therapy was coming over to shoot photos that day...refreshing and charming.

BTW, i agree that this house needs a re-shoot. Amazing photographers must be a dime a dozen in Brooklyn.

Surfjack- i agree! It think it's funny the update went retro. Looks fresh and inviting. But where's the kitchen range now?
