"But given the space she has, the fact that she can't even a clear straight shot suggests her floorplan is not using the space to her advantage."

I *completely* agree. Having zero design experience prior to this undertaking, I have been learning through obsessive reading of this site and the basic process of trial and error. Thus, I am exceeding grateful for any constructive feedback that might help me to better understand how I might improve my place moving forward.

Oh, the art above the stove I stumbled on at a Salvation Army in South San Francisco. I have no idea of its origin beyond that -- and I wish I did cuz I'd get more. ;)

First of all, just want to say I'm exceedingly grateful to AT. I was very inspired by the 2011 contest and it was a goal of mine in 2012 to submit my own place so it means A LOT to me just to be included. I *totally* understand the feedback about not having enough content in the pictures. My bathroom is cubby-sized, that was as much as I could get in and still capture the art, which is my favorite part. The kitchen was frustrating to me because a lot of the photos came out looking super dark. I ended up with the corner that had the best light. I'm not a photographer. Like many people I have a life and a demanding day job (that is not design-related) and was just doing the best I could do. Feel free not to vote for me if it upsets you -- I don't take it personally at all. Like I said above, for me it was just a real pleasure to be included at all. :)
