"Show me your apartment and I will tell you who you are!" It's been a pleasure to meet you, Chuck.

Interesting idea however I don't expect it to sell in US like UGGs! We like comfort and most of our population would not fit into the chairs for normal size people! We expanded lately!.... not only the debts but also our bodies.

If the wood is raw whitewash everything but beams. These stain dark. Unfortunately the wood looks like it has old polyurethane on it and this will make your process difficult.

I am a fan of natural components (interiordesignarts.com shows what I'm talking about) so I would never paint brick, stone or wood and never use non-wooden siding either. But people have rights to do with their home appearance whatever they want. PS the yellow next to the grey looks a little like Nike's new shorts for basketball players.

So bad, that the old sink is gone and that there is no one Victorian element in the kitchen to connect with the old soul of the house and possibly exterior appearance too. At interiordesignarts.com we love to incorporate old elements with new interiors and clients love it for many reasons. Btw; 90K was a huge expense....seems like saving on Miele or Bertazzoni could buy you a more suitable flooring with character.

Who said; dark colors are no good for small places...? Ceiling pattern is a killer too! Well done.

A wide angle would show a little more of what it fells like in real; the furniture were shifted from one place to another for the purpose of a good shot so it's kinda' hard to imagine how small it is.

It looks like Liz has a sense of a style and a good taste. By keeping it clean, symmetrical and "calm", she made her 750 looking larger. Smart.

Hm, nothing really special about this one.... the design is all over the place. The apartment has nice kicks in walls and ceilings though; I would use it somehow... there are so many ways....

Is this a concrete floor in the living room? Beautiful. My favorite element in interior design. I stain, I tint, I experiment with it. See some of it here: www.interiordesignarts.com For best concrete acids refer to Kemiko products.

I do lots of make-overs. Some you can see here: www.interiordesignarts.com When working on the project and budget is limited; play with the color and create an awesome focal point to take attention away from ordinary. Great wallpaper; takes your attention away from 80's style marble in the shower.

Little house, huge character. It is difficult to create a perfect composition using tiny elements from different eras and styles. Great photography too. I see how I could incorporate your tiny pieces inside of my huge spaces: www.interiordesignarts.com

I admire the fact that you pay attention to the ceilings. This is so important, see my timber composition in larger scale here: www.interiordesignarts.com

Try Metallic Master paints, you can use two close shades or darken the table first and then use a stiff bristle brush (almost dry). Try create X's in the motion as using RL suede faux paint. If using polyurethane, do not forget to sand in between coats.

Beautiful ceiling! Overwhelmed with the zig-zag pieces though. Don't you think?
