I would replace the handles to the cabinets. Then when you move just screw the old ones back one. I think that would help.

I have had a hard time updating the look of my stairs without totally redoing them or blowing my budget. These could really make them pop.

I would love to live there as an adult!

I love the circular shelves and the light headboard. Did you get that idea from Readymade? I saw that in one of their first issues and have kept it ever since with the idea that someday I will do that. I love the apt.

I also would have liked to see the bedroom or kitchen.

I think you did a great job with the play area. I love that your girl has this place to call her own but it was designed in such a way that if feels like an integral part of the apartment but doesn't take over the apt. Kudos on that.

Hi, thanks for all the comments! This contest was a great incentive to finish all the work on my condo I have been putting off.

The Bed of Death is a perfect way to describe the guest bed. For the record I am a good daughter and take the Bed of Death while my mom gets the main bed. I have tested rolling over the rail and you do have to be rolling at a good force to get over the rail but I will freely admit that the bed does not go into the safe category. You do have to put your knee onto my office desk to comfortably get in the Death Bed.

Sorry about the quality of the photos. I have never wanted a new camera as bad as when I was picking/taking these photos. The walls in real life are a gray/blue as davidasposted said.

Pixie; The main sleeping area is off to the east of the guest bed. There is the "office" and a walkway between the two.

Jenny!: Anytime. :)

davidasposted: I agree that a rug would soften up the place especially a shag or flokati but every time I put one down my cat immediately makes them "not so nice". I have kind of given up. Suggestions for a non-rug flooring piece?

TheCount: I live in the top floor with 4 windows located across from the sofa. There is no natural light in the photos because I took the photos at 11pm scrambling to get them in before the contest closed.

Again thanks for all the comments!

I agree that the dark alcove colors against the white of the rest of the place is stunning. I also love the quirky nick nacks/accents, adds a bit of punk to the decor.

My sentiments are with Marie. Hot and bored and then cold and bored. I just find all the prep of cleaning out the tub then just laying there bored so not worth it. I have tried to like it many times but it just doesn't fit. Give me a hot shower any day.

This is absolutely my favorite so far.

Go with the first one. You want people to notice the excellent shape of the piece, not a busy pattern. I also thinks the 2nd pattern clashed with the period of the piece. Great sofa!
