um.. are fruit fly labs really common? cuz so far 3 people have mentioned working in or near one. i feel like i'm missing out.

even though this apt is unfinished (and too much so to be in this contest) i would definitely like to live here!

i think the hallway is the best part (has the most 'solid' feeling of intent) but maybe it's because the photo was taken without a flash (as MODFAN noted above).

there's something about the living room furniture -- it looks good but if i was asked to sit i'd expect them to feel stiff, uncomfortable and even confrontational to me! maybe add some softer, cozier textured pillows. and a leafy plant for some moral support.

the apartment just needs some warmth and personality -- and maybe that will come in time if what we are we seeing is the fresh work-in-progress.

i love it!

bright, smart, bold... i would be very happy/proud to live here.

love the extra large ottaman - i want that!

*RELEVANT POST*
it's a dream come true to find a customizable foam handsoap dispenser! i keep buying the Method foam soaps but i really don't like the scents -- now I can pick any fancy soap i want (an apparently make it last a decade with how much dilution is involved)

Does anyone know of any other styles or seen them in NYC stores?

actually, you were initially correct if you were saying that 'matching' is so happy-making!

but if it's 'matching hangers'...well, shame on you! [only kidding]

i learned from my college roommate to only buy white hangers. that saved me lots of decision making moments over the past decade. but every now and then i throw in a few wooden ones which i think still look good in the mix.

i thought they were those fake bacon bits.

i have this and i'm actually a "girl" -- it's perfect for my studio because it has a small footprint but good sound. and it matches my cute little flatscreen.

I actually bought a USED homereserve sofa off craigslist a year ago. i just needed a quick-fix sofa for my new studio and the ability for me and my friend to move it in 1 cab ride was beyond convenient.

I washed all the covers so they were like new and put the whole puzzle-piece sofa together in barely any time. it was actually very fun and satisfying to do.

The back cushions are very thick and soft. the arm and seat cushions feel like memory foam -- firm but very giving. in fact, my back enjoys sleeping on it more than my $1000 mattress.

The sofa is very comfortable but i have to say the seat is too shallow -- there is no couple cuddling on this sofa. but now i'm coming back to homereserve to purchase an ottoman to create more sofa 'space' and am also considering changing my fabric covers for a new look and also because.... i just can (and for only $109).

I really don't like fake bertoias because i just don't like the balance of the seat back, which is too too tall on fakes. There's not much to a bertoia chair so a change in shape balance is glaring and unignorable to me.

ooh i'd love to have that space because i'd hang up my favorite large painting in there. and maybe some vining plants on the bottom shelf to drip down in front....
