put a "rabbit" on it!!!!

i don't have a ton to say that hasn't been said except that you should avoid st. honore bakery. it's unremarkable.

the others (which include important reiterations) as follows:

(by neighborhood)

close in northeast and southeast-
noun, heart coffee, grilled cheese grill, the farm (get the goat cheese salad), screen door for brunch (if you are a carnivore, please order the chicken and waffles...share it with a friend...one of the best things i've ever eaten), waffle window, laurelhurst park.

north-
flutter, the meadow (salt, chocolate, wine and flowers shop), and the liberty glass (have the triscuit nachos/great music there).

enjoy. text me with questions...50.3.73.7.56.30. i'm julie.

i agree...on the west coast, disclosing a figure for the high-end amount you are qualified to spend is important to all parties involved.

in nyc, i'm not sure i would divulge this info.

@stiles- your place is very cute. i love the south. i really could see myself living in charleston or savannah. i love the grand old architecture. i don't think i've been to columbia, but the soaring ceilings remind me of the other places, too.

i concur about the etiquette. it's important to still be tactful when giving constructive feedback and to try to choose words that are not deflating. i was a fashion design student, and mostly people were nice during critique, but sometimes....

@johannar- maybe they were looking at my floor plan from when i was on the small cool apartment contest.

@justjude- not sure i can put anything over it. i may be able to paint it darker so that it doesn't stand out as much. i think it's a fire hazard to cover then...you can cover the steam ones, but not these.

@pollyrevenge- i super love jane wyman. haven't watched any of her films in a while, but you just inspired me to.

@la9052- i have a rather primitive storage unit in the basement. i think of it as stuff purgatory. that's the thing i have to edit most as it becomes somewhat of a holding tank. i should get down there and do that soon. thanks for the reminder.

@josie12- i wish i was a movie set designer. how fun would that be?!!! if anyone knows of any open positions for that type of work, hit me up.

@creative license- i didn't take them too seriously, but what if they comment on other home tours where the people do? it can be so hurtful. oh well. thanks for your compliments.

i've actually tried to picture my place being other colors, and i absolutely can't. isn't that funny? i picked them out from the pantone book before i even moved in. i'm glad they actually work.

also, i'm not sure if anyone noticed, but the floors and walls in the kitchen are the lightest of pinks....they look white most of the time, but in certain light, you can tell they're really pink.

@thorndale- thanks for the compliments. the counters i think were about $100 per sq. ft...so kinda pricey. they are not the easiest to maintain. i think you have to enjoy the stains and embrace them. this is something that i'm just now starting to do.

@ ace and other who asked for paint numbers- i will try to look this up soon.

@christine0902- they are my parents :) !

@creative license- thanks for getting my back. i don't have any real life enemies....that i know of. haha!

@rhianna- i don't leave too much on the floor there that would get ruined, but i do think about that sometimes.

@sanjutamz and @ what?- come visit!...or move here!

@blonderea- i'm glad to make people happy!

@roxy72- there's totally a door. i don't usually shut it unless i have guests, but i wouldn't have an apartment without one. also, i was on the kitchn small kitchen tour. there is a pic of the icebox thingy in the before pic on there.

thanks to all who gave nice compliments!
