Gorgeous makeover, so fresh! I'm not sure why people think that it's acceptable to leave unnecessarily horrible comments on AT. Most are far from constructive and I hope that they wouldn't say that to someone's face if they were invited over to see the makeover personally. Okay, now I'll get off my pedestal. I think that this space will definitely look better once it's been a bit more 'lived in.' A few books will add character in the shelf and I'd love to see that basket filled with crap (ummm... just to make me feel a little better about my basket filled with crap!). LOVE the desk, chair, phone and vase of flowers and the space looks practical to me. Anything that's not aesthetically pleasing is probably stashed away in your newly painted cupboards. :)

So much to look at, so much to love. I'm also not a fan of matchy, matchy and I also love items with a story..... even if I'm not sure of what it is. This home is beautiful without feeling too precious. Google-ing Michael Crispen now. :)

Dishes in the oven is soooo unappealing...... I have a glass oven door! I try to ensure that my house is never messy enough to be embarrassed by it and if my 'friends' are judging me by the state of my house then they're a little bit pathetic in my opinion. I love the basket idea.... I stash it in our walk in robe. It's mainly the kids mess: toys, clothing (why my girls feel the need to strip off 10 times a day is beyond my understanding, lol) and pencils.......

My motto on cleaning? Just DO IT! I am NOT a clean 'freak' but I cannot relax if there is crap everywhere. Only one of my daughters is not at school and I am only working part time so it's not really a time issue so much as it's a procrastination issue. lol! If I just get it out of the way, I can concentrate on more important things and more FUN things. As for a cleaner.... I'd prefer to splurge on fashion. (-ask me again when I'm back at work full time. lol!)

I really love all of the 'black' home fashion a t m so this is really appealing. I'm not sure if i would give up a daughter (lol Megan) but the second last pic IS VERY nice. :)

I love this colour combo. I have green as the unifying colour through my home. Plus teal in my bedroom and ensuite, orange and red in my main area (open plan: kitchen, dining, lounge, theatre) ... my grey walls go with it all. I admire homes with bright colours on the walls but I guess I'm just a bit 'safe'. lol! ............ LOVE the pot plant. :)

I 100% agree with typwc above...... and I adore the link. Good luck. :)

CD cabinets.............. gone.

All you need is a wide sweeper and an extend-able duster (for cobwebs) : it doesn't look high maintenance to me at all. .... I have concrete floors and am surprised by how wonderful they are to live with. This is a very cool space! I love the raw elements. All your hard work has paid off. :)

I love floating cabinetry. We have it in our bathroom, en-suite & TV room. I really like the idea of this but there's something that's not quite right... ?? I think it's what Klaus said: too much shelf clutter... ?? :)
