Like KkatMpls, I sometimes get discouraged after a dinner party when the last thing I want to do is clean. Right now, too, I'm trying to keep in clean and organized so I won't have to spend too much time in there b/c it's super hot.

I also hated it last spring when I got a leak from one of the windows and it just looked so sad and derelict.

Beautiful kitchen! I love the open shelves and colorful bowls. And the sink is fabulous.

Your dish rack seems awfully sleek, do you mind sharing where it's from?

Lovely dining room and garden, too!

cool but I can't get a sense of the place as a whole.

@JPK -- I saw that, too! Hilarious!

Nice place, the space is amazing. It's interesting to see the owners combine such modern bathroom design in such a traditional brownstone. Very Euro (in a good way).

It must be awfully hard to live through renovation with 2 kids but these guys seem to have the madness under control.

Thanks for sharing and good luck!

a-freaking-mazing! totally surprising combination of surprising elements -- the orange, the rug, the bathtub, the unfinished wood. AWESOME.

Wonderful place! I love the paint colors everywhere. My favorite element, though, is the blue mannequin.

Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful, thanks for posting it. I'm also thinking of putting up bookshelves in the dining room since I'm running out of walls in the rest of the apartment and this transformation is definitely encouraging.

I'm gaga over this house. Gorgeous, nice, clean and livable.

yes, though probably not a super expensive one. I currently have a lightweight oriental rug there that gets washed often and works and looks fabulous.

unabridged, you are judging too hastily. Dan is neither rude nor pretentious. He is a college student working on his place in good faith and an open mind, and by himself, as in literally building stuff with his own hands. You should check out his blog, you will appreciate the process better.

Dan rocks!
