agreed!

Very nice.

Yes that desk is divine! And the kakelugn! (The tile fireplace on the right hand side of the first pic) One day my dream home will also have at least one of those beauties!

The TV in the kitchen however, is far from appealing and I would have gone for a funkier style with the charteuse lamps over the kitchen island/bar

This is very much like my living room! Well, the color scheme (jewels and grey) at least... I have a vintage velvet emerald green sofa and armchair, another vintage velvet armchair in a lighter shade of green, and accents of grey, white, butter-cream and a touch of peach through out the room. The furniture style is a mix of many eras and feels light and fresh at the same time. High ceilings, crown-molding and large windows certainly help ensure this..

Though my floor is not as nice... herringbone parquett lies underneath the current flooring and as soon as my building goes co-op i'm unearthing them in all of their glory!

wow.

for all the comments citing respect for your fellow mans well-being as the number one gripe about smokers i think you all have a lot of nerve and extreme short-sightedness.

I don't know how any of you can seem to be oblivious to the fact if everyone on this planet were to live and consume like we in the west and ESPECIALLY the u.s. do it would take 10 planets earths resources to support the worlds population. Our living standards DENY the majority of the worlds population of what we in the west and, once again, ESPECIALLY the u.s. could ever consider a 'decent and healthy' living standard. Yes cutting back helps, but it sure as ...heck... will not make life 'healthier' for ALL. On top of that, on a grossly over-populated planet that keeps on growing, people insist on having children of 'their-own' to satisfy their greedy desires to procreate themselves. Paying taxes to the u.s. government fuels the greatest legitimised terrorist this planet has ever seen and the rest of the world has to suffer throught it.

Though you would sure as ...heck... never see me denying westerners, americans or people who choose to have their own children my friendship or turn them away from my home. Every person contributes to others well-being and ill-being in many, many ways and this smoking issue is barely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to creating an unhealthy or un-livable environment for ones fellow man.

Now i'm off to my balcony to have a ciggarette

How lovely! Care to share their other favorites?

The meaty texture of Krakow and the fact that city ages with dignity (not being plastered over or bulldozed for shiny new structures) makes it a rare and precious place to behold. It is practiacly untouched by 'cosmetic enhancement', though that is changing. New 'credit' banks are springing up everywhere and with them a slew of 'enhancements' as well. I just returned from living there for 4.5 months and seeing these pictures taken along my daily 'commute' make me very home-sick! And I'm not even from there...

The first picture is taken from the oldest street in Krakow, when the city was founded it was where the priests and oldest monks lived, it's straight across from the Wawel castle in picture 4.

useful tips,
but i want this piece of furniture!

in addition to prior comments,

space out your furniture a bit! pull it away from the walls and further away from eachother. I'm thinking mainly about your couches and table here. I see you don't have A LOT of room here, but usually pressing things too tightly together gives the impression of a more claustrophobic space than you are actually dealing with...
