I think the furniture and pieces are spot on, its just missing an accent wall of color.

Ah the substation lofts, I've seen a couple of units here. Not all of them are chalked full of character as this space. Awesome style, I love it!

Amazing transformation, great job! I'd maybe paint the backsplash to add a little color. Or like someone else suggested, add some towels/accessories to add some color accents. Great job!

I just bought this sofa and it is amazing! At first I was kind of turned off by the low back. But after sitting on it with a bunch of large throw pillows its very comfortable. My favorite part of this piece is its contemporary look. The upholstery is silky soft. I highly recommend this sofa!

I second Uptown. I lived off the Wilson stop and its not as SKETCH as it used to be. Actually west of the Wilson station, called "Sheridan Park", has a pocket of really nice streets.

Check out Magnolia, Malden and Beacon streets. There are some beautiful old courtyard buildings and old Mansions. Target was planned to be built next to the new Aldi, although I'm not sure what is going on with that. I rented a studio in the area for a couple of years ago $550/mo which included gas, heat and water. It was in a vintage courtyard building with hardwood floors, big windows and had a newly redone kitchen. Good luck in your search.
