The lamp and table are okay, it's the rest of that room that is freaking me out. Align your furniture with the windows... not half and half. Go with one shade of bedding. Get those books off the floor. What is the point of worrying about the lamp and table? Apartment Therapy New York | Good Questions: Does this Nightstand / Lamp Combo Work? |

I think it is a school library 'study corral'. Paint it, use it for a year, then kick it to the curb. Apartment Therapy - Good Questions: Should I Paint, Tile, or Add Stick-On Veneers to This Desk? |

I am confused by this whole 'don't paint your bricks' thing. Does that mean that all those houses with painted brick exteriors are going to start falling down? Every 100 year old house on Capitol Hill in DC is painted brick. What is the difference? Is it okay to paint if you use exterior paint? Anyone? Good Questions: How To Whitewash My Brick Wall? |

No, I was serious. You should lobby to be a judge next year. Represent! Small Cool 2007: Honorable Mention #3 |

I think this is why they asked professionals in the industry to be the final judges. Maybe you could lobby to be a judge next year, Moira? Small Cool 2007: Honorable Mention #3 |

Anyone know much about how/where to plug all those lights in? Is a surge protector enough? Can you use CFL bulbs? Good creative opportunity, just don't want to blow up the house. Thanks! Close-Up: Hanging on Your Own |

great bones you have to work with! You could do just about any color wall you want with all that black and white. Good Questions: Bathroom Revamp Advice? |

Studies show that the color "Yellow can create feelings of frustration and anger. While it is considered a cheerful color, people are more likely to lose their tempers in yellow rooms and babies tend to cry more in yellow rooms." I would cry too. I likes the rest of the apartment!

Poor quality photographs. From what I can see, it looks okay. Except for the bedding. Simplify? Small Cool Extra: Amanda's Growth Light |

I spy a weird box under the bed. It is screaming at me to suggest an alternate storage system... ANY alternate storage system. Small Cool Extra: Laure's East Village Home |

On second look, that rolled up thing under the couch would drive me bananas! What is it? The room divider feels a little too 'west virgengineered' for me and looks like it would topple over with one little door slam. Finally, if you are going to be creative and enter your apartment in a contest with the word 'coolest' in the name, please, for the love of god, come up with a 'cool' laundry hamper... or don't photograph it.

that window looks fantastic. It would look even better with a little air around it. Move those tables! Consolidate the little sprinkles of little thingies. Small Cool Extra: Thryn Gabe's Thrifty, Eclectic Mix |

When I had a railroad I turned the bed 90 degrees and centered it on the wall, so that the foot was at the 'invisible' hall line. We built and hung a framed scrim-like screen panel from the ceiling to create a semi-hall. It worked great for making the bed area a little bit private and still let in the light. There may be a creative solution in there for you. #40 - Rachel's TeRRific RailRoad |

I was recently in Amsterdam and the most prevalent form of street level window shading was frosted glass... or film. Imagine hordes of tourists walking by DIRECTLY outside your living room every day! You could not see through the glass. Good Questions: Window Noise Privacy Solution? |

I agree with thinking about grouping some of the objects in your nice apartment. It seems you have your "things" spread evenly over the entire apartment, and they all seem to be about the same scale. Another suggestion is separating the stacked ovals from the Ikea chest. I always find it weird to have two different storage units right next to each other. Maybe something needs to be moved towards the center of the room to act as a coffee table? I like your art and agree with moving the cool white one down a little! And I agree with PToo about the curtains... no need! #25 - Thomas' Itsy Bitsy Box |
