Also this new 'trend' where the upholstery looks like it was ripped off then not reupholstered. Why? If I wanted a chair that looked like that I'd go to a garage sale and do it myself - not spend $2,000 on it at Anthro.

Silver gilded candle holder made of antlers at Home Goods. It was probably 30$ but I didn't have a job at the time so I passed. Went back a week later and there were none left. I still look every time I am there even though this was 3 years ago.

I would put a tall-ish entertainment system parallel to the front door (like an island) and a bench or entry table on the backside of that. Then the area that's already dedicated to hallway space can become your entryway.
I'm having a similar problem right now with my dining room - but the apartment is laid out very similarly.

I bought the round Simple Human trash can right before moving into my apartment. I like it, but I would advise getting a different shape - the round can fills very quickly. I would prefer one of the rectangular ones.

As far as spending so much money on a trash can - I have lived in numerous apartments with insect problems (I lived in NY for a few years, they're impossible to avoid) and this is one measure I am willing to take to prevent this from happening again.

I purchased the West Elm tall wood bed frame in December. It has nearly fallen apart since then. The supports simply fell off and I had to prop them up - and the wood already has chips in it. The bed itself isn't very sturdy and moves around quite a bit.
