It's what I dream about at night...

Wow, some of you are so harsh!

I thought the space was lovely. It's airy and uncluttered with carefully chosen, very personal tchotchkes (I don't know that I could ever whittle my way down to so few, too much sentiment on my end, but I admire it!)

She showed us her home and made the tour feel very welcoming like she was offering us a cup of tea with the view. How could you not love the silliness of Veronica sticking her head out from behind the door?

She has an accessible and a real, "living" apartment.

We're all of course, entitled to our opinions, but from what I can gather after many years of following this website, the views of AT are to show many different, visually appealing examples, alongside truly functional aspects of life in smaller living quarters. They share their ideas and their finds in very a humble, "un-snooty" way, always asking for their readers opinions, which I find very refreshing!

We don't have to love or agree with every article written, we don't have to love every house tour, but it seems to me that AT brings an ease to the anxiety of creating a warmth with practicality to our homes.

Veronica's tour is a breath of fresh air. It can take a person a long time to acquire what is perfection for them in terms of design and function.
I felt that she shared (via AT), after years in the making, what she can now truly call home.
And isn't that what we're all here to achieve?

Has anyone tried the sleeper sofa from Bob's Discount Furniture? The name makes me think twice, but it looks decent, and it's half the price of Crate & Barrel's twin sleeper sofas (I have a maximum size limit of 63")
Any comments?
