I'm sorry. This was an awful tour. The lighting hurt my eyes. Why so overexposed? I couldn't even SEE half the apartment. And why so many pictures of the girl? I left having no idea how this apartment is set out or what it looks like save some books and a cat. Brutal AT. Just brutal.

the stool is cute in a kid monster kind of way. But the after is, in my opinion, horrible :(. What a terrible thing to do to an heirloom piece of furniture. The "ageing" after the blue paint is the worst part in my opinion. It already had your ancestors legitmate markings on it. This is such a sad thing to do to such an important piece of furniture for you :(.

BSG HECK YES! It's the best show ever. Also shows that have ruined my social life some weekends:
ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT-not being on here was a HUGE oversight, X-Files, Twin Peaks, The Office, Parks and Rec, Star Trek the Next Generation (fantastic show and lots of them!), 24, Mad Men, The Wire, Breaking Bad, Sherlock, Downton Abbey, Flight of the Chonchords (no one has mentioned this really???), Firefly, my parents were obsessed with Dallas when I was a kid so that's next on my list but I have to find them!!

Bright and cheery! And I love the bedspread! I'd like to see some more artwork though :) But that's just a personal thing.

Love the living area, but the kitchen seems too cluttered for me - but love the garden, absolutely beautiful!!!!

I like the backsplash and your plant... but other than that... the table and chairs in the kitchen don't seem to fit in and nothing about this seems really personalized... I'm not really a fan... sorry :(

THIS is how you do a nursery!!! I'm so impressed! That robot quilt is worth twice whatever you paid for it- and the personal touches and artwork is phenomenal. Very rarely am I blown away by nursery design. But this one does it for me!! Probably my favourite of all time.

I LOVE the detail on this! Very cute and elegant all at once. Although I do have to agree with Canadianmango that the curtain rod needs extending. Once he/she mentioned it- it was so distracting and all I see :(

And I was slightly disappointed that it was so Narnia themed... but still the most awesome room ever... I wish we could set up our house like this. But you know I'm afraid my pot smoking 2 year old might die in a fire he started while he was toking up with the pedophile that snuck into this room while trying to kidnap him.

oh and here is a really good blog on the strange pink and blue phenomenon that has started just years ago- it's a very strange concept if you think about it- so assign colours to gender? Anyway here's the blog:

Pink Decor for Little Boy's Room?

I love the idea someone posted up above of using pink for superhero "BAM" and "POW" and all that- nice bright pinks mixed with oranges and reds and yellows! Also check out Ikea fabric for curtains- they have some lovely animal/nature scenic fabric with vibrant colours and pinks! Perfect for throw pillows.

Creating a Family Yearbook: Controlling the Chaos of Digital Photos

oh I LOVE this room... I'm doing something quite similar (that Ikea rug is THE BOMB). When I was pregnant I'd get massages and my masseuse told me one day that each baby is an old soul and if you just think of them that way- as if they are wise and just can't express themselves yet- it's a great way to think of babies and what our inspiration was for our baby's room... this reminds me of it a lot. Swoon.

Also one more question- what kind of bedframe is that? A pallet? I don't want to use pallets because the wood is so treated and full of chemicals...

That's great but those foam tiles have been found to release formaldehyde gas when stepped on and have been made illegal in a few European countries (Belgium for sure)- so I'll pass...
