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.
