I'm impressed that you managed to have so much furniture in such a small space and have it feel cozy rather than cramped. You've made some really nice choices here. Lovely and personal.

Beautiful.

Honestly, I'd be thrilled if landlords would just paint a place in good quality, non-glossy, bright white. I've never seen an apartment that was anything other than glossy, dirty-looking, off-white or some sort of awful pinkish beige. Blech.

I hate my popcorn ceiling more than anything else in my home but can't bear the mess of removing it. The next owners can do that if they want. I also like to see that you can have a cute family home while working around it. Nicely done.

I'm a guilty binge watcher. It's so gratifying in the moment, but ultimately seems less satisfying than drawing out the experience. Sort of like eating too quickly rather than savoring a dish. We binged on the first season of "Game of Thrones," then enjoyed the exquisite torture of a week-by-week season 2. Delicious.

My instinct is to say classic, but agree with others that a bold classic could be just right. Maybe chinoiserie, toile, or a Napoleonic bee print in bold, rich colors?

Chintz is one of those things that I love, love, love looking at, but don't think I could live with. So hard to do right.

What a nice, well-planned little place! Great article, too. Thanks for sharing!

I'm absolutely NOT of the anti-painted wood brigade, but I wouldn't have painted the wood on this particular piece. I would've turned it over to a pro to be refinished if fumes were an issue. The upholstery desperately needed to be replaced, though, so good call on that.

That's really insanely expensive for something so simple, design classic or not.
