A totally lovely apartment, an inspiring place for you to study in. I will probably dream about living here tonight. And if I had the energy, I would write a book set here.

Brilliant - an apartment with real nooks!

You will always look back on this apartment with love and pride. The beautiful blues and deep reds, the lovely bed, the fabric that ties the feel together and adds a whole extra dimension without taking up any space! And dear wacky Audrey presiding! Your light-hearted comment about using library books to decorate with was the thing that finally decided me to cast my first vote of this contest.

Same question, seriously.

I cannot agree that this studio is boring! Calm, well-stocked and well-organised, yes, a space where I imagine Jen sits her clients down and gets to know them well and doesn't impose any pet, pre-conceived ideas. I very much like the soft sandy colour of the display panel - goes so well with white and the dark furniture - gives me ideas for my own living room. In fact, Jen, if you would like a week in France, come and give me advice!

CASEYINTO : Well, maybe because you have the space to - and feel it is eco-friendly to - dry your washing in the air, not in a machine.

MELISSAM has written the most truly constructive and forward-looking post here:

"what about some therapy for the square feet that lie immediately outside our front door? -- for our neighbors and our relationships with them, our city streets, our suburbs, our condo complexes, our apartment buildings, etc.? - specifically, how to build and nurture relationships with them and how to build a sense of COMMUNITY in the real world, to increase everyone's sense of feeling truly at home in the world?"

A rich new vein to explore and develop. Try it, AT - should be fun, thought-provoking, genuinely and universally useful. Oh, and not so divisive...

Kristen, your middle-school pupils are very lucky, and I suspect they know it. What is more important than the art of living well?

What I like best is the geranium at the window of the coral bathroom.

A modern Vermeer in the making.
