Hi cnn, the sofa is from a European brand called Bolia. Here is a link to their products: http://www.bolia.com/da-dk/catalog/denmark/bolia_dk/stuen

oh my gosh. this is incredible. the moldings and architectural details are just beautiful, and i love how light and airy the whole place feels. kudos on great color choices. i also would love to know where in NY this is located.

Wrenx, great question about the dark wall color in winter. Winter in CPH is really difficult... almost soul-breaking, sometimes! But I actually think a well-lit room with dark tones can feel very warm and cozy. I also think it's uplifting to start and end the day (dressing and undressing) in a space that feels luxurious, and for me black walls helped to create that feel.

this is just BEAUTIFUL. i love the colors and the layout. you've done a really amazing job with this project.

thanks guys. i also entered last year - if you want to see a few different photos, they're here: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/sandy-nicks-seems-huge-small-cool-contest-169503

this kitchen is genius. the high table is absolutely perfect, and the shelves really turn it into a cohesive space. i also like the little floating shelf next to your bed - a great solve since there isn't space for a night table. well done!

this kitchen needs something to make it look more 'grown-up'... because from this photo, i'd assume college students live here. i agree with everyone else: declutter, light grey on the walls, and simple hardware on the drawers and cabinets (something to match the hinges). i'd also put a small white rug in front of the sink, and i'd definitely get some plants. a bit of greenery would really help!

oh guys, i don't know. are these real photos or just really fantastic interior renders? i've never seen such a shiny TV screen in my life. and why is the (fake-looking) stool in the first picture reflecting off the floor like that? also, everything about the third picture looks fake.

i can empathize with storage issues, but i'm not sure you've solved the shoe/purse issue in a design-contest-worthy manner. with those high ceilings and a fair amount of empty floor space in the living room, i'm sure you can come up with something better!

for me, this place is small/alright... and not really small/cool.

i absolutely love the color palette. and those lucite (or whatever) high chairs... perfection! looks like your shelving unit the the kitchen is getting a bit overcrowded, but i know storage is a constant challenge in a place like this. you've done well!

the only thing i don't like is the off-center lion picture in the bedroom. seems out of place.
