I have not yet learned to love tomatoes, but I do eat them a lot now. If I think about it they are still pretty gross to me (slimy guts!), but I willingly eat them - in salads, on burgers, with anything mexican - just by telling myself that they're healthy. Lycopene has to be good for something, and tomatoes are not so gross that they make me gag or anything, so why not eat them?

OMG I need that couch. And the little leaf table. Also the rug...

@kmirando, that looks like an expedit with curtain panels and the slider track that ikea makes, just mounted to the ceiling so it hangs in front of the bookcase. Never would have thought of this, but I love the idea, too.

"Extend the soffit over the entire ceiling" = dropped ceiling = not a good solution, ever. I am fighting against this now in my house. I do like the second "extended soffit" example that creates a sort of tray ceiling, though. Way more than I thought I would.

@sunKSSed, I believe the neighborhood maps are from orkposters.com

Are all of those angles the backs of staircases? They seem shallow for stairs...or is it the roofline and some of your walls were dormered out? I am so confused/intrigued by this.

Love the living room rug - I have something similar, though on a larger scale. Also in front of a white kivik sofa :)

Your kitchen may have just solved a layout problem I'm having with mine, so you're getting my vote as thanks.

GREYHOUNDS!

Also, I really like your apartment :) That sofa and bathroom vanity especially.

I would be the saddest living in a space this stark, but it's still pretty awesome. Is that astro turf on the walls in the kids' room?

I have nothing to add, but I think your apartment is awesome :)

Vanilla bean pudding (I don't make it nearly enough!) but I'm pretty sure I'm taking that strawberry icebox cake to a Memorial Day BBQ, it looks awesome.

Cedar siding as trim is genius. Love the wood walls and all of your built-ins.

Beautiful. Anything involving navy chairs gets me. Wish I could afford a set :(

The book jacket without a book in it made me laugh. I carry the book I'm currently reading around with me everywhere, so there is usually a book jacket with no book sitting on my shelf, too :)
