Love the ace and their headboards are super cute like yours. It was a comfy down one at the ace with some killer line I think. So cozy. Love the gray.

I love this. Why are people so mean in this contest. with 4oo sq. ft. you are limited and it looks damn good.

I love this! It is hard for me though. I have this weird appeal for color in my life, but then I go overkill and it looks like rainbow bright died in my bedroom!

The subdued color and bright directional light in you kitchen and living room make the space. I also love your use of grey. By choosing the yellow to accent it really pops! ;D

Crittercub: Thanks. I don't think we could even afford a SLC McMansion, but I would totally oppose the idea if the option were even on the horizon! I'd opt for the Aves. Ha! It is a strange phenomena here with the gigantic gas guzzling SUV's everywhere and the inversion/haze burn conditions skyrocketing. Why would the developers keep building huge homes? You'd think we were in LA with the smog, minus the fun atmosphere, great resources to buy for the home, and the fantastic weather!

Okay. I will quit my snarky rant. Yes, check the bed out. We upgraded to get the most expensive slats. It is super comfy, never creaks, and holds up well. I wish it had a coat of polyurethane on it to protect it though. I am worried that I will get scratches on it cause I am klutzy. It can seem like it is in the way when I race in from class, dump the mail, and scoot through the two foot wide space to get to the bathroom! However, we bought it when IKEA opened out there in Draper. ;D

Ariel: The bed is fine. We've had it a year now and it is very sturdy for an IKEA bed. I even managed to find a way to store winter clothes under it (it is really low to the ground). I am sure we'll eventually upgrade, but the price was right for the style. It doesn't feel as light in person with it set up. Maybe it is just me though. I actually saw it in INSTYLE Magazine the first time and had to hunt it down. Some tv actress had it in a different color.

I really want to paint too. Unfortunately, this is a rental and white walls are something that we have to live with for a while. It is so hard to capture the place in 5 pics, but I tried my best. Additionally, we're working with a shoestring budget and very little time so I am happy with the outcome thus far. In a year or so it will come together much more! I am sure of it! ;D

gwalabu: The bedspread is IKEA but I have an Anthropologie bedspread that I rotate in and out too. I like the sheets that go with the other spread better, but the fiance says it is too girly. Oh well.
