I love your apartment!

This is absolutely insane, however. We have (or used to have) that EXACT.SAME.DINING.SET. We got rid of the table because we broke it but we still have the chairs. We also have the matching sideboard and china cabinet. Our chairs still have the original (I think), horrible beigey-blah fabric. It belonged to my husband's grandparents, and I assume they bought it new way back in the day.

We tried to sell the set on Craigslist and no one wanted it. I really am in shock - it is the exact same set!

I wish I could send you a picture - I have one on my work computer from when we tried to sell it! I am glad we kept it now because it goes perfectly in our MCM 1958 rancher.

We recently renovated the entire house, so in our master bath planning, we attempted to solve nearly every problem listed above. It is huge (16'x10'), has TONS of cabinets, electrical outlets installed INSIDE the cabinets for my husband's electric razor, etc., good fan that vents to the outside (not into the rafters like the previous version), etc. However, we paid a fortune to upgrade the grout to quartz grout because we were told it wouldn't stain. However, in white, it stains! And then it doesn't get clean! Our water is slightly rusty so our grout is a mess and we have to re-grout.

Oh, and I can't forget how a random contractor (we still don't know which one) dumped something down the shower drain after our $40/sf calcutta gold marble tiles were installed, leaving a big greasy ring approximately 3' in diameter all around the drain on our no longer beautiful tiles.

Yes. these are minor issues, but they were not supposed to happen and very disappointing when you spend a fortune on a remodel!

0!!! I always defer to my husband on color issues since he is a colorist, but it looks like I am actually the master :) I am female.

I can barely look at that photo without starting to freak out.

I would definitely do it. We currently live in a one story house and I love knowing that if something should happen, we won't have to move or alter our house. With that many floors, by adding an elevator, you ensure that you can continue to live in your house for the rest of your life! If you have the money and it won't be a burden, I would definitely do it.

Your place is utterly amazing. I love the kids' room. I am looking for ideas for incorporating a future baby and my son into one space.

My goodness, reading the original blog post was exhausting. I can't imagine trying to incorporate the millions of different ideas she has while taking care of a newborn. If there is one thing I've learned, is that my child will do something when he is ready to do it! No extra work required :) As long as he has lots of love and attention, lots of spoken words at home, access to books, and room to play, he'll turn out okay. I do like the floor bed idea, but unfortunately we have a spider problem in our home so can't incorporate that.

Her leg appears to have no shadow - I thought the same exact thing about the photoshopping!

LOVE this tour. We also bought a run-down mid-century ranch and renovated it (but kept it one story). We will also hopefully have a couple kids sharing a room in the next few years, so I love the ideas you have in your kids' rooms! I discovered lots of ideas from your tour!

I've been following Crestview Doors on facebook for a long time - I am hoping to get new front doors! Thanks for the tour!

P.S. - were your dogs being bad during the house tour? When my doggie misbehaves, sometimes she has to sit in the corner like that in a "time-out" until she can behave better :) She actually stays in the corner, too!

Wow, this house is utter perfection. I love every single thing about it. Well, except for the size - this is too small for my family of three, but perfect for one person! But really, really gorgeous. Especially that to-die-for light fixture in your bedroom!
