bellabeeboo - Not sure if this is the exact same bed but the Portica Canopy bed from Room & Board looks very similar:

Congratulations Eliana! I really enjoyed her story, well, everybody's stories, anecdotes and advice from their mom's. It was inspiring and I picked up many words of wisdom I can use!

The advice I've followed from my Mom:
"Never go to bed angry".
I've never gone to bed angry at my husband. If I'm angry with somebody else I make peace with them, even it's just in my own mind, before I shut my eyes. It helps me sleep better and it's nice to wake up without that negativity.

ms on b - I think it's the Rajapur design from Cole and Son's New Contemporary collection - http://www.cole-and-son.com/collection.asp?ID=11

Yikes. Even creepier if you go to the website and see it close-up. At least I can say I've never seen anything quite like it before!

Now *this* is what I'd call a jewel box apartment. It's exquisite and exemplifies the fact that you can live glamorously in any size space.

It's good to get some feedback from people who've actually seen/sat on this furniture.
P(too), I've had down furniture and furniture with just foam and my preference is for medium to firm foam. The sofa I had with down cushions (seat and back) was comfortable but always looked a mess after sitting on it for a while. Our current sofa with foam seat cushions and tufted back is definitely lower maintenance.

I'm looking forward to seeing more Gus, I think their clean-lined designs work well with many styles.

P.S. That Brian Boitano line was pretty witty!

I'm making pancakes with the sourdough starter I started a couple of weeks ago. Maybe some oven-baked brown sugar bacon too, I love bacon baked in the oven!

I've come back to look at this lovely apartment a couple of times now. There are just so many interesting details - the pattern of the chair repeated on the wall, the very boldly colored accent pieces... it's unique and I hope we get to see more in the finals.

I agree with Sasha - price per square foot information would make a big difference in accuracy.

I love this - chic, cozy and lots of personality. The artwork is fantastic.

I agree with Wende's suggestion of going just a shade darker on the cabinets and then changing out the pulls and handles.

I also wish I could see more! Is there something painted on the wall in the dining room - a tree?
I like all of the storage solutions here with things stored in the open and easy to get to without feeling cluttered. Everyday objects look more like collections - the toilet paper and bath towel cubbies, the kitchen utensils in the stainless containers, the spices, the wine bottles, etc.

Wow! Amy and David - thanks so much for sharing your home! The slideshow tour felt like a mini vacation. How could you not have fun in the Tabu Tiki lounge? :)

"That chart is like a sliding scale of disappearing dreams for me" That made me laugh! I try (really hard!) to feel the opposite way when I used the chart. We rent our current place and when I did the numbers realistically, including everything like down payment, buying/selling commissions, increased utilities, property taxes, homeowner association fees, etc. - I came out with more than 30 years as our break even point. I'd love to own a place but the math doesn't work out in our favor right now. Sure, we could almost make a mortgage payment on a smaller place with what we pay in rent, but once you tack in the additional expenses...
So, this chart just makes me feel like we're doing the best we can for now. We've got some ghetto aspects here too but they are more of the chain-smoking-neighbor-dropping-lit-butts-on-our-balcony variety.

Wow! I love how the ottoman also serves as "office" seating and the counter is used for working or dining. The hand painted murals add tons of character without taking up any space. I can't believe these were done by hand - what great professional-looking results!

Thanks Gregory for the link to that chart. I like the sliders on that calculator that allow you to play around with potential break even points.
I would hardly call your adorable apartment "ranshackle" though :)

Shannon, I know exactly what you are talking about - the blanket-as-stripe really looked quite nice.

I love MCM furniture and I love Jesus but I'm not so sure I love Panton chairs with a cross cut into them.
