Definitely the clean feeling of minimalist. I don't find the 'cozy' photo all that cozy, to be honest; too many pastels, doesn't feel cozy but too feminine. Cozy is dark and cluttered in an interesting way. All those fussy pastels in the photo doesn't seem cozy. I would have liked a before and after of the same space done two different ways.

Marigold! It will make you feel so happy when you climb the stairs. And hang some black and white framed photos.

Oh my gosh, that little dog!! I could barely see how great the house was cuz that dog is sooooo cute!
And by the way, 'snooty' is not a word I would use for the fabulous NY apartments. I, for one, LOVE the NY ones, such creative use of space and furnishings, and also since my daughter has an amazing space in Brooklyn. You don't have to read the posts if they're too snooty for you.

I love this! I really liked seeing him make a sandwich and pouring himself a drink. Great, masculine home!

Yes, get rid of those little pictures. Find something at IKEA or some other cheap but attractive poster. Trim around door stands out too much. Fresh flowers and de-clutter.

I think of this a lot. Especially when I'm in crawling in traffic and every driver (except me) is an idiot! For me it's the OPTION of doing great stuff if I want to. Also, most of us who live in the city simply love the sounds and sights of cities. I love the lights. I love sitting in my loft at night and looking at the lights of buildings. I could never look outside to the complete darkness of a rural landscape. Too quiet..too dark. For me, the city is mine...and I can take it in whenever I want.

Yikes, I think I'd go crazy living in the middle of nowhere.

Hate it when you have a link to someone's blog and you have to search and search for said item. Is Happy Mundane really the source for the geometric planter? I got tired of looking through months and months of blog entries.

My loft is clean and modern. I love it, sleek and lovely. But I love, love, love this look - lived in, interesting array of clutter, fun, colorful!! I want to live in both places! It's so hard to be a Gemini sometimes!

OMG. This is the worst! I agree with others: painting over the hinges?? And not painting the inside of the door so you can see the brown peeking through. Sorry to be harsh, but this is so bad, it really looks like a Before pic instead of an After one. Yikes!!!!
