1 - Enough floor space to practice yoga-- when I get around to it.

2 - Real windows (no basement apts)

3- Enough counter space to prep a meal, use an applicant and dry dishes on a rack simultaneously

I agree @fromageball. Fashion IS art, and some people need to come down off their high horses. I choose to be more understated in my fashion and decorating choice (not necessarily cheap), and while the space not my taste (as far as decorating and high-glam fashion), I can appreciate this woman creating a space that reflects HER. That is something that is hard to do, especially in a rental. Kudos to you, girl!

The coffee table does not fit. I hope that was a bargain find. Also, for a such a small space, I would want a more "functional" and sleek table with room for storing magazines out of sight. Lots of pillows...and i imagine they get thrown to the floor when laying on the bed or sitting on the couch. Lastly, I miss the dining area. I would've taken a smaller "living room" space for the ability to have a small dining set. Ahh, NYC living...

My own apartment! Even if only a one bedroom :sigh:

I love the bedroom. I would love to have a bed/nightstand set-up similar to this one when I get my own place (someday).

I LOVE the office paint color/stripes. How did you get that subtle stripe effect. That color would be really cool for a bedroom as well.

Wine labels, if I'm at a party and really like the wine. I'm not sure about the clothing sizes suggestion...there's a notepad app for that.

I only snap pics of clothes if I want my mom or sister to weigh in on what they think.

Sounds like a party I would want to attend, sans baby :)

doesn't mean anything without comfortable chairs. A couple of these offices I couldn't sit in for more than 30 minutes at a time. Maybe that's a good thing...for health, not for business.

I like it! Change without being overdone. We need more stories like this to showcase that you don't need to spend five figures to change the feeling of a room and make it more "current." Good job at keepng the integrity of your design style.

I agree with a custom or really long desk and lots of vertical storage space. If you plan to use the space mainly for work, I would keep the bed small (no bigger than full size). I can't do a daybed/futon anymore, but maybe since you're fresh out of school you won't mind as much.
