i love this house!
the gun, the pink bathroom, the stairs with the teeny doorway, and the maps...what a great job in expressing your style.
the tattoo is pretty sweet as well.
nice.

the ham and cheese sandwich on a baguette that ate for lunch on my first day of the camino de santiago in spain. so simple, yet so delicious.

this is a great example of how to incorporate mc modern in a house that you actually "live" in, rather than a glorified showroom. i like your style!(and little stella is adorable)!

Absolutely beautiful. I especially love the kitchen. One question...(not renovation related) where did you get the owl print hanging in the bedroom?

poached eggs on toast (taking another shot at the eggs...they never turn out!)

and later in the weekend, chocolate layer cake.

I have this couch from Macy's in chocolate brown. I've had it for a year and a half and it's holding up well...as well as being quite comfortable. The pricing definitely makes it a good deal.

absolutely gorgeous! nice job.
one somewhat related question...what type of french press is that?

one can also make a simple syrup with pumpkin pie spices (i prefer to mix my own--whole cloves and cinnamon sticks rather than the powdery mix) and vanilla. this can be refrigerated for a few weeks to be enjoyed again and again...happy autumn!

lots of great suggestions. if it were my space i would probably place the bed in the corner of the dining room. i would then get two matching bookcases from ikea and place them side by side with the shelves facing the kitchen entrance, creating a wall between the kitchen entrance and "dining area". this would allow for kitchen/additional storage. if you aren't a big entertainer, you could put a small table in the kitchen. if you have people over often, you could put the table outside of the kitchen on the wall opposite the entrance to the apt. you could then paint the backs of the bookcases or hang photos/prints or hooks for jewelry/scarves on them to give your "bedroom" a little character.

as for the rest of the space you could place your couch with its back toward your bed and tv on the entrance wall to create your living room. in the rest of the space, toward the main door maybe put the dining table against the wall and use it as a desk when not entertaining or on the kitchen wall. either would look great.

it's hard to explain this without using a diagram :(

i like this apartment, alot. it seems like the kind of place that everytime you hang out here you could get lost in something new. how nice to have such a big space to spread out the facets of your personality...nice work, dan.
