Beautifully done. Elegant and cozy all at once. As a minimalist, I have issues with clutter. This space manages to fit it all in without feeling crowded or overstuffed.

Many thanks to everyone who has continued to comment and keep the coversation going about my tour.
@bruns--the bar stools are from CB2
@cvgmiami-you pegged it with a little glam, a lot rock n roll!
@jmbowman-stop by the next time you are in the building. Seriously!
@designdiane-what are you doing this weekend? Haha.

I am considering a warmer shade of white on the walls to address the glacial coolness. White is tricky. Any suggestions?

Thanks again and let me know if anytone else has other ideas or questions.

@Unabridged--Morgue Chic is awesome. LOL
@English Accent--you are brilliant--I will check out the wire idea. And yes--bath tile is black.
@Stella-Fornasetti rocks. Cannot get enough

wompwompwomp--I agree all comments are welcome. Bring it on. Let's face it--that is the point, really.

And to all of you wondering about the cold, dark, somber, masculine, bloodless girl who lives here, I am a bit thin blooded :-) I love a sleek, minimal space, and when I downsized into this place I basically started over. I know it is not for everyone. But the color palette and textures from the animal skins and the way they play off of the bare walls, geometric shapes and floors are very satisfying to me. The warmth comes from the textures and the organic materials. On a sunny day, and at night when the chandeliers are glowing, the place is magic. And yes, @mreiss, my party guests look amazing.

Thanks all! Keep it coming...

Thanks to everyone for checking out my place, and for all of the comments! It helps to see my space through other's eyes, so it is all great infomation for me.
FengShuiByFishGirl--love the "overkill" reference! I do suffer from the call of the wild.
Cheers to Mauishopgirl and the Hollywood regency angle!
To islek-rock on!
Shout out to dyskrasia and Ohiogirl--hope to see you in the neighborhood!
Klaus--The elephant is an original oil painting by Jaime Hesper jjam76@hotmail.com
The antlers were from Urban Outiffers a couple of year ago--you can try spray painting (Collier West carries them)--great idea fleo.
msbetsy--if I had a dollar...
Nym--the chair is called the Prince chair, designed by Louise Campbell, manufactured by Hay, and I bought it at the Conran shop.
The trunk was my grandmother's--she brought it from Italy and I painted it myself. I did not do a very good job--painted the hardware last, and made a mess of it, but oh well :-).
LOOVE all of the ideas about incorporating more color--it is something I struggle with (obviously)...keep the comments coming and I will try to respond to all of your questions.
