So nice. I would really love any of those in my own bathroom. But I wonder if they would look dated a bit sooner than you would hope for...? Claesson Koivisto Rune's Swedish Modern Moroccan Tiles Flag this comment	5/4/12 2:23 AM

Such a cool shower curtain! Kyla's Keeping Things Simple Small Cool Contest Flag this comment	4/10/12 2:58 AM
So very cool. But I have to agree, the crazy wide angle/HDR makes it a bit hard to really understand the space! Parvez Taj's Vintage Boho Meets Modern House Call Flag this comment	3/21/12 5:16 AM
Wow I really want to live in Berlin! I'm currently in Melbourne though and pay $950 for a small 1br, if you want a decent 2 br I think it would be around $1300+, depending in how close to the city you are. As a student however I'm pretty much paying the max I can afford while being close by to my uni! What's the Highest & Lowest Rent You'd Pay in Your City? Survey Flag this comment	3/13/12 10:55 PM
Ha, as an Australian not having been to the US I learnt a few things from this post too! I agree with you MZP, they're all second nature for me too. The most surprising ones are the lack of electric kettles and switches on powerpoints for sure. I've also lived in Europe though and I have to say they generally do much better than we do.. well in Germany at least! They take recycling to a much better level and are overall very eco-conscious. From what I've heard from people who have visited america they are generally amazed at how big everything is, from food serving sizes to cars and houses. When it comes to houses though the suburban sprawl means the average size of houses are getting bigger.. and it's so unnecessary! But anyway. I will leave my rant on housing for another time..

Ah, I upset some of my neighbours recently when I was using the communal washing machine at like 11pm.. The people in the flat next door to the laundry must find it pretty loud, and go to sleep early, so they left a very eloquent note on the machine saying simply to f*** off. I can completely understand the annoyance, it's not something that you always realise, but at the same time the note could have been more ..pleasant! I had been working late a lot so washing my clothes at night was kind of the only option, and besides I've heard people using the washing machine at 12 or even later, so I'm not the only guilty one.. Otherwise, I wouldn't have a clue if I'm a noisy neighbour or not. Generally my little apartment block is fairly peaceful though. 7 Tips for Keeping the Peace (and Quiet) With Noisy Neighbors Flag this comment	1/12/12 5:24 PM
Hmm. I think the new look is pretty good! The organisation is logical and definitely a good idea, but there is a bit much overlap at the moment it seems. I'm sure that can be fixed though! Welcome to Apartment Therapy 3.0! Flag this comment	1/9/12 10:01 PM
Excellent tips. I actually think just 2 email accounts should be enough, but then having one for spam you sign up for for whatever reason isn't such a bad idea. But only if you're attached to the spam..? 10 Things to Do Right Now to Simplify Your Digital Life Flag this comment	1/9/12 9:55 PM
Oh, that's a shame they aren't making the Buro trees any more. However I did make my own smaller version based on the design above using a lasercutter at uni before I went on holiday for the year..! Holiday Décor: Bringing Festive Cheer to Sleek Minimalism Flag this comment	12/16/11 1:36 AM
My routine always seems to vary.. I go through phases of various routines! Lately the last thing has been doing the dishes at night, and in the morning I usually make lunches. Being a student tends to mean inconsistency! What is Your First/Last Chore of the Day? Flag this comment	9/4/11 12:25 AM
Amaze. What good design! Casulo: Furnished Room In A Box Space Saving Furniture Flag this comment	8/22/11 9:38 AM
These architects are taking a design studio at my uni at the moment, and I went to a lecture where they talked about this project - I think it's a really nice installation, the contrast between exterior and interior and the way you have to go inside to see what's there is quite enticing! A scaled down version could definitely be built in to your home.. that would be cool. The Two Story, Climb Inside Bookshelf Tower Flag this comment	8/19/11 10:28 AM
Sooo schoen! I would so happily live there. Beautiful. Imke & Thorsten's Breezy Berlin Apartment Green Tour Flag this comment	7/14/11 5:03 AM
The Axor bath/bathroom there is totally gorgeous. That is now my future bathroom. Plants and the light semi translucent screen.. Not that I would be able to afford the bath but you know, good to have inspiration! The Millionaire's Guide to Kitchen & Bath Renovation Flag this comment	5/25/11 9:12 PM
Attic spaces are so nice.. They remind me of european apartments and houses! In australia you don't find them very often. As much as I like them though they can be a bit impractical, I bump my head if I get too close to the wall. Unco. Depends on the slope of the ceiling and if it goes all the way to the floor or not!

Different notions of privacy in different places perhaps! Love Japanese architecture generally though, it has such a simplicity and purity like in the house shown here. Indoor gardens like that can be really nice, here especially it blurs the distinction between indoors and outdoors. No Outdoor Space? An Indoor Rock Garden Flag this comment	5/25/11 8:59 PM
I think the anti Ikea is simply because it's mass produced and everywhere.. but people like to be individual. Particularly people you might accuse of design snobbery! I find it amusing though that you see just as many Eames chairs and Barcelona chairs as you do expedits, really. All of my furniture is from Ikea because as a student it really is all you can afford if you want new things, and they do have good designs, especially for small spaces. But I agree with what other people have said, it depends entirely on how you use their furniture. Some apartments strike me as ikea overload, but others with just as much ikea furniture don't! I think Onielia has found a pretty good balance. Onielia's Divided Studio Flag this comment	4/26/11 10:26 PM
Fabulous space. So bright but cosy at the same time. Christine's Sausalito Skylights Flag this comment	4/25/11 10:09 PM
Great loft space, and can I just say very nice drawings also.. good to have some perspectives for a change! Jason's Well-lit Loft Flag this comment	4/18/11 9:55 AM
