Lovely and charming. My favorites... the hanging sliding door in the bathroom with the vintage nob in the center. I see this serving both as a nob for moving the door and a hanger for a bathrobe. Next, that incredible shower enclosure on the tub. I want that!

Oh what a wonderful abode. How delightfully whimsical and tasteful. I love that there is something to see and give thought to in every creative corner and crevice. The reuse of typical objectives for atypical use (like books as shelves) lends humor to the home, and I believe a keen sense of humor is a true sign of intelligence. There is certainly intellectual appeal to this place and I would love to meet Justice and Ronan. Then perhaps they'd allow me a long and personal gaze at the green weathered door panel with the moon cutout that hangs on their kitchen wall. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that!

I absolutely love this light-filled living space. It is luscious with lively color and textures, non of which overwhelm the visual palate. The balance of playful light, white walls, red brick, a variety of woods, green plants all weave a dreamy space for living life. Big congrats to Neeza & Pierre for their excellent taste and creativity.

This is truly a lovely home. Every where the eyes set is a work of art. My kind of space. I love the gentle color scheme that catches you by surprise as the nuances evolve and sneak up on you in delight. The careful choice of every piece of furniture, every rug, every wall hanging, every piece of art doesn't appear careful or contrived at all, but instead suggests travel and the love of culture tumbled together in an incredibly tasteful manner creating a space called home.

EXQUISITE beyond written description. This is a home that one "feels" to the core. Kathleen deserves colossal kudos for a job well, thoughtfully and tastefully done. Having grown up in Brooklyn, I always suspected those old carriage houses had prestigious possibilities, and Kathleen has proven that way beyond my best expectations.

My husband and I have had very positive experiences with Craigslist, both as the seller and buyer. We have met some amazing people and have exchanged information so we could stay in touch and develop friendships. Craigslist Karma makes sense to me. We always go into it with the intent of, at the very least, meeting interesting and amiable people. We have always come out of it with much more. We have made many purchases through Craigslist. We've sold many items, and have even found wonderful and responsible tenants for a rental unit we own.

As an acknowledged and shameless voyeur of neighborhood interiors, I have spent many years admiring and collecting ideas from how others live in their spaces. As an artist, I have taken pieces of what I have seen and created what I call "archiscapes." Just as a portrait requires careful examination beyond the facade of the face, my archiscapes require careful examination of city homes beyond their facades. When I lived in San Francisco, it was a true visual feast as many home owners left their bay windows completely undressed with a light on so the passerby could enjoy the view unobstructed. I'm ALL for taking peeks... short or long.

WOW!! What a transformation from a plain Jane condo. No hint of that here. This decor is outstanding!! Love it all. Sumptuous and delicious textures and colors and such well appointed furnishings. Aya & Trevor, does your neighbor travel?

What I love about this home is the family who lives and loves in it. Their caring connection to each other exudes through every room. Although the design of the home is aesthetically pleasing, it is apparent that it is born out of the needs, creativity and comfort of a family where each member and their relationship to each other is carefully considered and encouraged. I WANT TO KNOW THESE PEOPLE! They are wonderful!

Genius use of space. Clean modern elements make it easy for the eye and the body to maneuver around. Maximum storage behind walls is a dream come true. I suppose splashes of color in the form of art will soon appear. This space gets my "favorite" vote because if money were no object, but space was, this is where I would live.

WOW! It's amazing what you can do with very little space. These living quarters rival the most lavish homes in design, materials and maximum utilization of space. Kudos to you!

Though small, the balance of color and texture with the exposed brick walls, beautiful wood floors and choice of furnishings make this space tops on the aesthetics scale.

I LOVE THIS HOUSE! Every nook and corner is gloriously filled with warm colored surprise. The vintage bones of the home lends itself perfectly to the creative lifestyle of the dwellers and is just my style and speed. I love the window wrapped bedroom and the light filtering in here there and everywhere throughout the house. The staircases are dreamy. The kitchen is delicious with its green accent walls. I'm in love with this house. I'd love to visit and feel it embrace me with its delicately arranged tumble of color and texture. Congratulations to Annette, Gustavo & Lola for creating a most amazing and welcoming home environment that's a real keeper.
