If you are using a pc, right click on the link and choose 'open in a new tab' or 'open in a new window'.

I love the fact that this is both a kitchen and dining area. The bench is really cute, love the plants and I'm jealous you have a washer.

No, it's not going to look good, but sometimes you have no other choice. I'll be moving soon, and my room has no closets and I'll probably end up buying the cheap ikea one

As a teenager, I've had to spend a few summers sharing a futon in the living room with my brother. Poor guy, he was 22 and had to share the bed with his 14 year old sister. But it was only for the summer, and we didn't have a third person! The neighbors have 3 kids that I assume sleep in the living room. I think these arrangements are common in immigrant communities in nyc where the rent is very expensive.
Anyway, I think you should get a futon for the bedroom that you can fold up back into a couch by day and get a foldable table to use as a desk that you can put away at night. But honestly, with all those people in the apt, aren't you better off studying at school? I would either get a sofa bed, a futon, a foldaway foam mattress, a cot or even a twin mattress (which can be propped against the wall) and have the brother sleep in the living room.

So simple, clean and comfortable. I love the glass cabinet doors and the seating area is adorable.

I think that the house itself is nice, but it doesn't feel like a home. I love the light, and I appreciate that fact that the homeowners are minimalist: lots of white, clean lines, no clutter. But this place looks bare and a little. The furniture is lovely, and I don't think they need to paint the walls. I don't like to have a lot of *stuff*either, and i try to keep my possessions to a minimum, so I admire them for either not owning a lot of stuff, or for having some serious storage. But sometimes it's nice to have around a nice picture frame, a book, a vase, anything that reminds us of a happy time (a gift from someone special, a travel souvenir), something that tells a bit about yourself. I understand that they are busy and probably are not done furnishing and decorating their home, but in the meantime, please get some plants or flowers, or maybe some fruit on your counter!
