I finally found my way onto the official site again, minus the daily 'blog-to-nowhere'.
Is it just me?
This site is crazy to get on to the main page among other links.

The 'city' allocation makes no sense at all.
Go international, or go home.
Cheers.

Hi
What a good effort for such a small space.
Very bold move using that blue.

Would you consider creating an L-shaped living space?
ie: moving the sofa under the 2 windows, then adding additional seating?
Unlike the others, I'm not crazy about the dining set-up.
I know it's a rental, but what about a 'bench' of sorts, along the dining window with a table and end chairs to complete it?
It would be a cozy nook to connect with the kitchen.
Being somewhat larger, it could also function as a work place too.

Cheers.

Cute, livable place here.
You're going in a good direction.
I don't even mind some of the odd mix here.

However that gorgeous expensive floor is insulted with that, (purposeless) rag-style area rug.
Do you really need one at all?

Nice job.
Homey, warm, and functional.
Nice to see the Eames ensemble separated for a variety of uses.
(I purposely use my pair for separate uses too).
thanks for showing it all.

Hi David
Your place really sits above the others I've looked at lately.
Nice colors and compositions.

Maybe get rid of the rug in the main area and consider paring down the surrounding 'things' somewhat.
Also the whole living room ensemble could be pulled in a foot or 2 onto the rug.
Or get rid of it too and show off those floors, as well as this would enlarge the space.
Nice work overall.

Hi
I'm not sure why you submitted this entry.
You certainly have a lot of stuff to show off, if that's your angle.
However it's done poorly, mixed up, and without much editing or planning.
I see no innovations, or just plain styling of any substance here.
Sounds harsh?
Let's be honest here.
If you're going to submit an entry, show off why it is worth looking at.

Good effort.
But I think Modfan said it all best.

This is a real challenging space.
You could do a few things to finish it off and otherwise maximize the layout:
Think about pulling the sofa out at the close end so that the piece now sits at 90 degrees to the fireplace; yes out into the room. Creating a new sitting area.
Hence giving more privacy to the adjacent bed.
Plus the connection to the outdoor space will be more realized.
Think about getting rid of the rugs from your lovely floors.
The bed could stand a floor length drapery panel acting as a soft furnishing, as well as a headboard.
Use the existing area rug for when you step out of bed, if you really like that sort of thing.
Or just move it out.
Make it a habit to look at high end and budget magazines and ideas to inspire you.
The place really does need to look finished and inviting.
good luck.

Wow
Great work, the small space challenge aside.
Fun colors, personality everywhere.

But I bet you'll tire of the cute 'theatre seats' in your living room real fast.

Sorry
but nothing interesting going on here.
