Billy, love the updates so far and the afters look excellent. Look forward to seeing the rest.

APR - I used the IKEA Blankett handles in my Ikea kitchen and it looks (dare I say) identical to Billy's kitchen. See the kitchen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/olya/sets/72157629711867368/

Joy, thank you for that incredibly insightful and detailed comment. The instructions are quite clear :-)

AT mods: any way you can highlight the quality of the response so that more people can see it?

inspired by all the organization posts recently we re-did the hall closet today. adding shelves and decluttering made an incredible change!

We actually bought our hamper from Crate and Barrel - it works flawlessy (great casters) and the grid makes even the messy laundry look neat. Love it!

When friends let us stay over in their flat in New York, I washed the kitchen as a thank you on the last day... I hope they took it the right way! We brought a small present, but it was greatly appreciated that they hosted us...

I took the leap and bought the petrie in Charcoal when we were furnishing our place and don't regret it for a moment. Thought my heart bleeds from our cats' attempts to destroy it, its holding up well. And the shape! Ah! It's a dream come true.

It's been 6 months and its super comfy. Many naps and sleeps were taken on it with no harm.

We have started our own small kitchen reno (http://tinykitchenreno.tumblr.com) and seeing how you have used the space is quite inspiring!! Lovely!

There's already a McD's across the street. Been there for at least 5 years, non? :-)

Sone for the win. Those who say they are tired of staring at screens - the e-ink screen is a wholly different beast that doesn't tire eyes.

This house tour is fabulous! I am saving it all as inspiration for our house.. whenever we move into one. I love that it all feels bold, but is still so calm - this is a gorgeous, gorgeous place.
