For the person who asked about having a sofa bed instead of a bed and a sofa--Although it is always recommended for studio apartments and small spaces, believe me, it can get to be a DRAG putting the sofa bed up and down every day...Sometimes, you just want the bed to be a bed and the sofa to be a sofa...I live in a studio, tried to do the sofa bed thing and now I have a sofa AND a bed...I like this and it's going to stay that way....

As for this apartment..So charming! So lovely and well-planned! I wish Seattle's older apartments had the charm of East Coast apartments...I miss that, but, what are you going to? Once again, kudos to Mary Helen, Graeme, and Lou!

This is one of the few house tours shown were I have muttered, " Oh, I am so jealous", as I flipped through photo after photo....I usually get bored halfway through (everything is beginning to get a little cookie-cutter, AT), but this...What a space! I want her to decorate my digs!

Nice house...It is interesting to read the comments.. We have been well-trained to think that a home has to be at least 500 sq. ft. or more....anything less is "impossible" or "ridiculous"....There are several articles on Youtube featuring entire families living quite comfortably in 500 sq. ft or less....The Japanese (and several European nations) have proved, for several years now, that it is possible to live quite small and still have a good, useful, even happy life...When it comes right down to it, how much house does one really need? Is paying to heat/cool a bunch of possessions that you sporadically use (if at all)...INTELLIGENT? I think that this is the wave of the future and must be considered, especially in our ever-burgeoning cities....

Nice flat, proof that a guy's living space doesn't have to come in your standard black brown and, frankly, BORING...Well done, sir!

What a nice kick-your-shoes-off home! LOVE THE SHOES......And everyone is right, Michelle does have a lovely smile!

What a beuatiful house! I kept thinking, "Jesus, how big IS this place??? But the space doesn't look cluttered or stuffy or too MACHO (I think a lot of guys could take a page from you two).....And as for the garden-I could simply dream my life away in that garden...Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!

What a funky house! Love the front door...Nice place to wander about and comment on...

Marvelous....

I kept alternating between the words, "WOW!" and "NICE"...Without a doubt, one of the best homes I have seen on this site to date...It LOOKS like a home, lived in , well-furnished, PERSONALLY furnished, none of that"okay-let's-be--trendy-and-midcentury-to-impress-the-viewers" nonsense (don't get me wrong, I love midcentury--just gets a little boring when EVERYONE is doing it)...Well done, Martinez family, well done! Can you decorate everyone else's house, while you're at it?

Really nice studio...Kind of tiring of all of the blander places I've been seeing on this site, your studio is very refreshing and charming...Also looks like someone actually uses this space.....
