We have the Crate and Barrel "Petrie" (in the Apartment size...small space and tight staircase!)

We LOVE it and it doesn't show our dog's hair at all. Very easy to vacuum...however, there are no slipcovers so I can't throw it in the wash. I'm considering having it steam cleaned by a professional.

Definitely a bar!! My husband and I made a wine rack for our desk here: http://www.thebaloneybug.com/2010/01/22/unpacking-re-packing-tv/

You could definitely add glass storage to the lip above the desk- looks like the perfect bar space!

I nannied for a single mom and her 2 children that shared a 1 bedroom. The kids shared the bedroom and the mom slept on a single bed in the living room, which was in the corner with a large bookshelf separating it from the "living space".

I guess really, it was 2 bookshelves. One faced her bed so she had some storage there and the other faced the living space and was more of a media cabinet where they kept the tv. It worked out well for her. Best of luck!

Love love love everything. Really a beautiful and personal space. As a renter it's definitely hard to personalize temporary spaces and you've really done a lovely job.

My only comment (sorry, have to): Brother Bear's harness is on upside down. They gray part goes under his arms. I bet he'll be much more comfortable if you flip it over :)

We have an Eames style rocker that never gets used but looks darn good.

@profkd @v.cutino The only Ikea things in the room are actually the rug, frames and patio tiles. My rule is no Ikea furniture, only accents :)

Here's a breakdown of the patio

@Runisaa- I emailed AT and unfortunately the rules state that you can't add pictures after they've been submitted. When I get home tonight I'll whip up a blog post with them in it and post a link here.
