I love the transformation, but am I crazy in wondering how some light colored wood shelves can be "outdated"? There doesn't seem to be much about them (in my eyes) that firmly plants them in one era of design or another so I don't really get what's outdated about them. Anyone with a keener eye for this kind of thing care to enlighten me?

I made this over the weekend, but mine didn't come out nearly as smooth! What do you guys think I did wrong? Maybe added ingredients too fast?

Did anyone else have that issue?

On the plus side, it was still absolutely delicious!! I would definitely make this again and hopefully next time, I can have it come out looking a bit more like the photo.

I care less about most of the complaints so far and way more about where that table is from!! I know I've seen it before, but it's so perfect for my place.

Anyone know where it's from or where similar models can be found?

I agree with you, daylight, my visible DVD collection is on par with my book collection; I wouldn't DREAM of hiding it!

I love this apartment though. It feels doable and the windows are to die for! It also gives me hope because hearing that it took over a year to find the perfect dining room set makes me think it's not so bad that I'm holding off for the right combo of style/price on the same purchase myself! My crappy card table will do for now. :)

My movies, like my books, are a point of pride and I have always really hated the idea of stuffing them into some big binder rather than letting them be on display. This is especially true for the boxed sets I own and the Criterion Collections; often, the art is so beautiful on the boxes that it's a total shame to hide it!

It's not that I don't understand the limited space thing (it's a good solution for people with the problem!), I just can't get behind it myself.

Wow! Awesome transformation!! There's nothing inherently wrong/horrible with the before IMO, but there's so much more personality in the after it's outstanding! Plus the couches and curtains are totally better.

The benefits of couch surfing are limitless!! I understand the objection, but the purpose of the website, to me, isn't really to connect the casual vacationer with a random place to stay. It's about connecting people who genuinely LOVE traveling and want to share their homes and cities with fellow spirits.

I couch surfed for the first time last summer and it was amazing. My host was delightful and I think of her as a friend. I would TOTALLY open my home up to fellow surfers!!

I wish I had surfed more abroad and fully intend to do so in the future.

That is seriously one of the most beautiful rugs I've ever seen. It's insane! Too bad I'll probably be an old codger before I can ever afford one... haha

The whole site is beautiful, though!

Wow. Everyone is reading WAY too much into this. The post isn't suggesting you roofie your guests and if you don't like Wii games or take-out, or would assume the host was sloppy if you were at a party offering such things, maybe you're the one who should stay home.

They're just suggestions; not steadfast rules you MUST follow.

Lighten up!

Absolutely love it! I DEFINITELY plan on using this as inspiration for the studio I'm moving into! Luckily, the layout of my apartment is literally exactly the same as this one, which will surely help a LOT.
