Such an incredible example of a house that has been impeccably curated yet without the sterile feeling that can sometimes result from such attention. The orange is fabulous - and a color that works across a range of design styles. I too would love to see the floor plan to see how the house flows. Steven's Relocated Beach Cottage House Tour |

I loved it as it was before. A fresh lampshade would have made it really work. It's one of those vintage pieces that I think should have been left alone. Before & After: A Brassy to Classy Lamp Re-do 33 Shades of Green |

I love it! The white floors completely make the place -- do you own or did your landlord allow the change? Please post more pics! Louisa Makes the Most of 400 Square Feet House Call |

valentino1, I've lived in NYC 15+years and yet to see a carpeted floor. Rugs? Yes, but not carpet. Just checked NYC Housing Law and it's not illegal to have uncarpeted floors...some leases do require rugs, but not all. I've been in my place for 14+ years and none of my leases require rugs or carpet (and I'm on the top floor). Lauren's Tiny 400-Square-Foot Cozy Apartment Green Tour |

As a child, my house had a wood storage unit built next to the fireplace that almost looked like a matching fireplace to the real thing -- it even had a door to the outside so you could easily load wood in. And we never had any bug/termite problems (lived there for my entire life and my parents lived there many more years once I left home) at all. Function on Display: Firewood |

Agree with all about the chairs and suggest getting "ghost" acrylic chairs as they would not "eat" up more space visually. Larger art piece as suggested and a more interesting centerpiece and pillows. Need some good color in there in the art and pillows, something warm and bright.

LOVE the kitchen and so glad to see that you've left it intact - no painting of the cabinets or ripping them out! Feels so warm and organic. Kitchen Tour: Devorah and Larry Combine Forces |

I see you've addressed the sofa agains the wall issue, but given that you can't really move it, could you at least pull it away by 6 inches? One rule of thumb for beautiful homes is that nothing "kisses" the walls so tightly and while I appreciate your tight space (I live in something just as small), you should be able to add a few inches in there as well as with some other places.

My mother put wallpaper in al the bathrooms in our home in the late 1960's and it held beautifully with no problems. It was a type of wallpaper that could be wiped down too so it made for easy cleaning. (Also, these were bathrooms with no windows, so no problems from the steam).
