So nice to see a before and after that doesn't involve a NEW paint job! The grain is spectacular, and the finished product well worth the effort! Gorgeous!

This reminds me of all those futuristic movies I would watch and was fairly certain would never actually come to be, like flying cars. The future is now!

I think it would be cool to not have all those gadgets and wires cluttering up my home and be able to turn a wall into a TV Screen / Computer Screen, for example. Though the fingerprint thing would really bug me too.

I love the color palette - so calm and serene (maybe that would take away some of the pre-exam anxiety?!). I think some bright or even dark/moody color could be nice, but not necessary. There is something so tranquil about this space... Also love the floorplan - great use of the space!

I think it's lovely. Changing up a space is always refreshing, and helps renew interest and vigor in an area, especially important in an office! So modern and clean, and without the cluttered visuals, of varying colors, it should help keep the mind calm and clutter-free as well!

I'm guessing that the owners can lock the sliding glass doors to "fence" in the pool; i love how indoor/outdoor it is! The natural wood and glass make it feel both cozy and light at the same time.

Now, how about one of these similarly indoor / outdoor / kid friendly home for cold climates?

Sounds like too much tech in the bedroom. Keep it simple - you'll fall asleep faster and sleep better if you're not doing your work / watching tv etc in there as well.

We live on a bright loud street, so the lights don't bother me anymore, but the only in-room light we have is our 10 yr old radio shack alarm clock.

For years my mother would put a tablecloth on when visitors came for dinner and would have them sign their names, she would then go over the signature with embroidery thread in the color of their choice, making their visit permanent! Over the years she has a great collection of names, married names, divorced names, dates, friends she can't remember, parents and other loved ones that have since left us. It's a fantastic, colorful, long term, and movable project. I started it in my home just after I married and our friends love it!

Our living room ceiling leaks - the building mgmt thought it was fixed, but every time we get heavy rain, we get an indoor wading pool. It comes through where the ceiling fan is, so if the fan is on the water sprays out! We love everything else about the apartment so we've stuck with it. Countless days of rain, repair men, and money fixing everything they can think of and it's still an issue (much better than before, but still there). I just keep all my valuables off the floor and away from the center of the living room. And I turn the fan off on rainy days!!

I removed the skirt from my Grandmother's reupholstered (in the 60's -- orange!) sofa, and it looks so different and much more contemporary!

We currently have an extra futon mattress under our bed. Great for guests, but cumbersome to get out and a pain to move the bed around. I want to get rid of it as I love the look (and feeling!) of space under the bed.

I love the idea of the mandolin as art -- perhaps you can store other things in the mandolin case to maximize storage?
