Charming home! I find it so soothing.

I find these pretty terrible, especially the second, ninth and tenth (sorry, kids). It just makes me wonder, is that really how you ought to spend your money, even if it is disposable? Isn't it enough that weddings are overdone?

This is the second time the apartment dweller mentioned wanting to change a couch I thought was really cute. Great job with your space! You have such an interesting floor plan. I've never been in such a layout.

My favorite small coll apartment featured so far. Congrats on making your home both spare and inviting! The greens really bring it warmth.

Very soothing home, though the number of decorative pillows does bother me. They'rre beautiful but fussy.

I have room envy. I'd hire you to do my bedroom!

You certainly can--in the International division. Many of my favorites often come from outside the U.S. Please enter!

Definitely the World Market chair. The Ikea one overwhelms the table.

That's a great idea. I'd love to see more of this kind of article (with more close-up shots of clothing displayed with furniture, to show how the two complement each other). I first started thinking of interior design as dressing my home back in college, when an adviser urged me to add life to my unadorned room and it occurred to me, I can just think of my room as an extension of myself. Clothing had always been a passion of mine and suddenly decorating seemed so much less daunting and foreign.

I'm fine with there being 1000 other units as long as it's peaceful in mine. Nor am I afraid I'll lose my identity should I move into a place with so many neighbors. Goodness. And soundproofing seems a moot point. The two buildings I've lived in where i could hear my neighbors through my walls were either small or medium-sized, not the larger complexes. Lastly, I'll note that you can get spectacular views of the city living on the top floors of a housing project. I did. Sure, it's frustrating when the elevators break down (which happens more often than they should), but it's a non-religious blessing to have an affordable home in the city you love.
