BrooklynJennie: The countertops are White Zeus silestone. Silestone is a wonderful earth-friendly solution for homes.

Alana in Canada: The walls are painted Benjamin Moore 2160-70 Sugar Cookie. They are not white.

DahliaCactus: The TV is not hiding; I don't have one. As for the absent far wall, it is exposed brick with a sizable wall unit that houses mouth-blown glass vases and bowls as well as other pottery.

RalphEMole: Please note that the floorplan clearly indicates that the main space (living and sleeping area) is a grand total of 239 square feet. The kitchen is 83 square feet. The bathroom, main closet, and coat closet are a combined 100 square feet. The hallway comprises the remaining 68 square feet.

Modfan: Thanks for the photography tips. While I enjoy viewing photos of others, I detest taking pictures. I always feel that trying to capture a moment on film destroys that very moment. Even for still life, I find that photos often distort my actual memory of things. As such, I don't own a camera and thus borrowed one (with which I was obviously unfamiliar) for this project.

Floridagirl and Firecracker: The bathroom is notably absent for two reasons: (1) I experienced much difficulty in photographing it as a whole; and (2) having read comments from entries posted prior to mine, I noted that viewers don’t appreciate seeing single elements but rather the apartment as a whole. So, I decided that it was best to include a shot of the entry corridor with four shots of the kitchen and main living and sleeping space. I specifically included the one photo that shows the opening to the bathroom so that viewers could get a true sense for the full layout of the apartment.

To everyone who commented about the lack of art: In addition to the four pieces in the entry corridor, two pieces hang on the brick wall to one side of the bookcase and a single piece is mounted on the other side. I then have eleven more pieces (of which I realistically only have space for six or seven at most) among which I am in the process of deciding proper positioning, etc. Behind the armchair, for example, rests two pieces of artwork (but I will eventually only hang one on that wall). I also have a triptych for the bedroom wall (a sliver of the pieces can be seen resting against the wall next to my bed). In short, I am human and do have personality, despite popular opinion.

Absolutely amazing! I love that you converted an otherwise wasted space in that long entry corridor into both an art gallery and a unique storage facility. Kudos for the overhead storage between the LeKlint pendants.

The kitchen is so inviting and is definitely my favorite. The cork floor is super cool and green! Your zebrawood cabinetry is stunning and works swimmingly well with the darker stained lower cabinets, and the white stone really pops against the dark chocolate.

Speaking of which, I love the chocolate/white mix displayed elsewhere across the apartment (the seating/coffee table in the living area, the incredible bookcase, and even the bed/bench combination). Such great continuity!
