Nice, light and airy space, and natually family-friendly to boot. Scott's Testing Lab House Tour |

Come to think of it, that desk seems to be simply quite well designed for both long reach (external keyboard) and short reach (laptop) usage. And the little semi-hidden printer shelf is a nice touch. I like it more for those reasons than anything else. Just my 2 cents. I Wonder Which Computer He Uses? Final Frame |

How fitting - our daughter has this bed, which I continue to marvel at for its sturdiness to cost ratio. Cute upgrade. We stuck with the minimalist wood finish for now. She also likes to hang things on the headboard like the dreamcatcher she made the other day. Before & After: Simple IKEA Wooden Bed Frame Gets a Luxe Upholstered LookAll Things Campbell |

Our kids are two and a half and five. They follow us around the house and play wherever we are, so no organised play room would be big enough. And I fully agree with darlingclementine about these luxury, roomy spaces. Beautifully Organized: Kids' Playspaces |

Our former Berlin apartments looked equally uncluttered before we had kids! - LOL. Seriously though, you must have more stuff than that. As many German apartments don't have a pantry cupboard (Hauswirtschaftsraum) and many cellars (Keller) are damp, I'm wondering out loud what you did with all the spare goodies you didn't wish to display. Other than that: fabulous job! Sara's Perfectly Personalized Kreuzberg Apartment House Tour |

Schlagbohrmaschine is an impact/hammer drill. And that brings back memories of needing one to get through those sturdy German stone walls. Elizabeth's January Cure: My Fourth Week January Cure Diaries |

If you're happy with it, then that's the main thing. Admittedly though, I'm with the prefer-the-before group. It was just so calm and spacious. For me personally, I might have gone with bookshelves on one wall only as an accent wall of sorts. Maybe white Billy shelves against a black wall. Regarding the TV, you have my full sympathy. Our 20" TV is intrusive as it is. I wouldn't know where to put a big flat-screen thingy in our place. Rochelle's January Cure: My Third Week January Cure Diaries |

You could always move up the top shelf by say half and then raise up the clothes bar so that an extra space is opened up under the hanging clothes. It's probably also a matter of personal taste though. Fixes for Wasted Space on Top Shelf of IKEA Wardrobe? Good Questions |

The amount-of-work-to-end-result-ratio on this amazes me. A simple change of perspective and voilá! When I get home from work I'm going to turn half my stuff on its head to see if it could be used better for something else. Thanks for sharing!

That kitchen is much smaller than the IKEA one. We have slanted ceilings in the kids' room in our German apartment and this Janod kitchen fits perfectly, and it has character. Janod, Kid O, Seedling & App Crayon Toy Fair 2012 Highlights: Part III |

Wow, that looks absolutely huge for Berlin. How many square meters? No mention in the text. Noemi's Romantic Biedermeier Apartment in Berlin Green Tour |

I live in Germany in a three-floor building with 6 tenants. We know them all. Our last names are on signs on the doorbell, so there's no being anonymous here anyway. When I still lived in Canada I had no real clue who my neighbours were. It took me a long time to get used to warming up to my neighbours here, but now I like it so much that I'd miss that community feeling if I didn't have it. Great post btw.

My Tivoli Audio One radio is the most satisfying piece of music tech I have personally ever used. I plug my iPod into the back and it seems the best of modern and retro in one space-saving package. Sony Jumps on the Retro Bandwagon |

I think the name 'Nachschub' is actually a play on words as another German word 'Schublade' means 'drawer'. At any rate, that's a nice shop window which made me miss Berlin where I used to live a few years ago - just north of Kreuzberg. Great city! Mismatched Drawers: Found Object Inspiration |
