Sorry to say, but I really can't wait until this cowhide fad dies.

I have to say, it looks like a great raw space that the occupant has really done nothing remarkable with. Especially if, as I suspect, the tall mirror is built-in rather than an addition.

count me amongst those who just avoid using a bathmat altogether. the concept is pretty gross to me. anyone else remember the simpsons episode where lisa remarked that marge's heart is like their bathmat, absorbing everything that touches it? exactly. it's the same issue i have with people who don't squeeze out their kitchen sponges after use... ewwwwww.

most bathroom floors are designed to get wet, and then they dry off.

ooh... can we just pack it up and move it to a brighter climate? barcelona perhaps?

curious... that first photo you've selected looks somewhat interesting to me and decidedly playful, but most definitely UNsophisticated! i see what you mean in the rest of the photos, though.

it's so odd to think of 2005 as being significantly in the past.

Thanks, everyone! I really love my little loft apartment, so it gladdens my heart that others like it also. Digital pianos are such a marvelous invention, since they take up less space and are easy to move, never need tuning, and with headphones on don't bother the neighbors in the middle of the night.

To answer some questions, I made the floorplan using http://www.floorplanner.com. The plants are indeed in Woolly pcokets, which have been featured before on AT and are very easy to use. I feel like it does make that wall look a bit cluttered (especially in that photo), but it's worth it to have living green things in my space. The piece of music on the wall behind the bed is from the first page of the original manuscript of J.S. Bach's solo cello suite #5 in C minor, which I can't recommend highly enough. I made the image using Rasterbator (http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/). I also have various prints on display from Stravinsky's sketch book for the Rite of Spring; I do love to surround myself with music.

Thanks again for the comments! Great to see so many interesting entries this year.

well done!

what's the framed piece over the bed?

Oops, I guess we were both wrong in interpreting this post as announcing the last batch of entries! When it said "Entries Posted on 4/19" I assumed it meant *all* the entries *submitted* on 4/19. The contest FAQ actually says they may post entries through 4/23.

Commence finger-crossing!

i love that glass-topped side table.

i don't get why so many people leave their artwork leaning against the wall! such a conscious style choice that i just don't get.
