Not a hater in any way, but though I love the striped chair and, of course, the Chanel lamp, but this pad is too messy and queeny for this boy!

Why is it alway the gay guys who have these luxe fab pads?

You had me at the curtains. It's only a bummer that the men seem better than the women at doing this!

One more quick question. Brooke, are you related at all to a Nicole Tollefson who lives in Minneapolis??

This is one of my favorite spaces on this site. Lots of light, walls no completely covered with bric a brac, airy and lovely. PLEASE do not get a "starry sky" painted in your bedroom: it's graet as is. Congrats on such a great place! Was the apartment very expensive? Do you rent or own?

I love the red floor!!! Not so much the Donald D..

Thanks for the response! We are doing some work on our large rented apartment -- planting in the yard, tiling, painting, and so forth -- and it has taken some negotiation, but we have worked out a significant rent reduction.

For all interested parties planning projects in rented homes/apartments, in today's economy especially, it's wonderful to live in a lovely space, and even more wonderful to get an economic break in the process!!! Just want to spread the word.

I really like your place: it's bright and liveable and charming. One BIG question, though. Since you rent, is any of your investment on the home/yard recuperable?

It looks like it belongs in The Children's Museum. But, seriously, the stairs are pretty accident-ready. Bright, though! I'd love to see more.

I understand the thrift store comment (and the name one (: ). I don't think that the poster was trying to be mean: it's just that kids really do love to touch and handle things and are generally not display oriented. Once this baby can move around and ascertain her suroundings, the objects may annoy her.
