I second or third the coffin comment....this "bed" from the name to the design is a disaster... I bet this is some kind of AT joke

All are lovely...Slangevar, I can't imagine that a guest in someone's home would be engaging in "funny business"...

Why not just find a dresser big enough for your needs on craigslist and refinish it yourself with a metallic paint? Alternatively, if you are not too considered with quality you could put together 2 or 3 ikea low dressers ( i forget what they are called but they're really cheap) and refinish them with metallic paint. I would go the craigslist route personally.

The walls are white...it gives the impression of a blank canvas which would be ok except for the small picture you have hanging on the wall. That picture is too small and out of proportion giving the area an "incomplete" look. If possible, I would move the TV to the corner area between the wall with the shelves and the wall with the small pic. Then I would put the two armchairs directly on the other side of the coffee table facing the sofa and not on an angle. I would remove the small pic. The wall behind the chairs will still be blank but the focus will be drawn to the corner as opposed to staring straight ahead to that wall so the bareness should not be as much of a problem.

Another option that would fit in your budget would be to paint the wall or if you're renting use the removable grasscloth wallpaper made by sherwin williams to add texture and interest to that one wall.

What I love: Sofa, Chair and Table in Living Room. Desk in the office is gor-geous. I also like the bedroom very crisp and nice but perhaps a bit too matchy for my taste...perhaps you could have played around with different shades of brown and white. Nevertheless it looks very crisp and classic.

Things I strongly dislike: Curtains in the living room the color reminds me of blue suede shoes...not in a good way. The brass curtain hardware just too 80's for me...also, not in a good way. Too many knick-knacks for my taste and finally the houndstooth rug in the living room. I understand you have the houndstooth pillows on the sofa but in my opinion, it just distracts from the beautiful sofa and chair.

I could never live there. The sacredness of the place would be too burdensome for me to ever feel truly comfortable. Can you imagine sipping on Belvedere while enjoying the greatest hits of 50 cent in there??? Can somebody say Guilt City???
