FROM OWNER/DESIGNER:

happy to read all of these comments. thank you!
here are some questions, notes:

- bulb in bathroom is incandescent (i am not a fluorescent fan) - warm lighting is a must!
- admittedly, the photos are not "all that" - i have a simple point & shoot camera and would love to post more.
- here is a photo of the cat, samm.
- the whole renovation took me about a year: full gut.
- definitely did it all on tight budget (about 10K total). has been complete for about 4 years.
- bathroom speaker was $49.95 ;)
- built most of furniture too yes (shelves, hidden tv cradenza, desk, ladder, etc)
- own, not rent.
- orange cabinets are laminate
- wood is walnut (cabinets veneer, other solid boards)
- loft is cool too (cork flooring up there)
- decided to NOT use too many fancy materials (although tempted!) - ie, try to build a cool space on a small budget. very doable.
- i am not a loft bed lover either but this works and keeps the bed out of sight during the day - hard to do with such a small footprint.

would post more photos but might not be fair for contest?

thanks again for all of the kind words.
- mark
