I love: the floors (I don't see a need for a rug!), every piece of furniture (esp. the yellow lamp!) and the awesome way your art is hung : ) Very inspiring!

Well I love that desk. I'm not really a huge fan of the wall. It looks okay up close but from far away I thought it was a before picture with squares of wrapping paper peeling off the wall. I think it would look way better in general if that other blueish wall was a different color. Maybe a dark brown like the desk?

What's wrong with the word ethnic? I really don't see a problem. The post is about describing your favorite comfort foods. Ethnicity can be used to describe the origin of the food, right?

Anyways, I would have to say my favorite comfort food that my mother always makes when I go home to visit is Hungarian bab leves (bean soup). It's amazing!


Favorite Ethnic Comfort Foods: What Are Yours?

Thank you all seriously so much for all of your help!

I'm definitely going to consider all of your ideas and try to live both comfortably and beautifully! I completely agree with taking it slowly and only buying things that I need and love.

The first thing on my list is definitely a bed and I think I'm leaning towards a full size. I love the idea of just having that for a while and moving it around until I find a sweet spot for it.

I'm still not sure if I would do a couch or just some comfy chairs, but I guess it depends on what I feel like I'm missing and what I end up finding.

Something I realized that I didn't ever think about before was that the lighting might be an issue. There is actually no overhead light in the main room. I don't know anything about track lighting, but I remember reading before that it was better for small spaces rather than having floor lamps. It that something that I could easily install myself and eventually take down if I move?

Also, is it weird to mix wood colors? Since the floors are fairly light colored is it generally better to stick to light wood with the furniture or would that make the apartment seem washed out? Maybe dark wood would look better or is it that anything goes?

Thanks again!

(p.s. the entry door is in the hallway and the other doors in the main room are walk-in closets!)

Wow thank you all for your great comments and ideas! I'm really looking forward to this move and setting up/ living in this space!

I really don't know what the measurements of the living room/bedroom are, but I think that it's definitely bigger in real life than it looks in these pictures. I think a full size bed, along with a couch or chairs could pretty easily fit, but I'm definitely not sure what style. The two doors that come off of the living/bed room are both fairly large sized walk-in closets, and the front door is in the middle of the hallway next to the heater.

I will definitely check out craigslist and the flea markets and other places you've all suggested and I will keep you posted!

Thanks again!
