Me, too (or eighth, as the case may be).
I'll come back in a few days to see if the sponsored posts are finished.

#3 is sized for a baby's crib. The larger quilts from the same person are lap quilts--not bed sized--and of course more expensive.

The very inexpensive quilts are made overseas, probably in China, by people earning not much money.

Make your own! :-)

I would move the fridge closer to the sink and put storage shelves in the nook where the fridge is now. This opens half the kitchen area for your table. Consider adding wall shelves to the left of the fridge to accommodate the microwave (opening up counter space) and all the stuff in the island. Many of those fridges have reversable hinges--or get a handyman to help--so you can set the fridge to swing open toward the sink side.

Personally I'd also say goodbye to the futon, use the bed as a daybed and get some director's chairs for when you have guests. They're comfortable enough, can be used with your kitchen table, and fold up to stick in the nook where the fridge once was LOL

Looks like a nice place--hope you enjoy it!

...whoops. Meant to say, this looks promising.

I'm wondering why install a $1,000 tower of plastic cubes that can't be painted and will eventually discolor or crack, instead of more environmentally sound and flexible shelving.

This is brilliant. There's no shortage of old, chipped dishes in the developed world, so a wild post-Christmas "smash the tree party" isn't exactly depriving the needy. And next year you bring another chipped dish and build a new tree.

Lovely apartment! You'll have a lot of fun there!

Two suggestions.

Don't block one of your two windows with a "bedroom" area. I'd make a cozy nook for the bed only on the opposite wall. When you're sleeping you only need ventilation, not light, and being right next to a window also means street noise. Especially if you work from home, leave those two windows accessible for other activities.

And...if you buy or build shelves for work and book storage, make multiple sets of a couple of different sizes & shapes that you can reconfigure as the need arises. Say, a few units of very tall, deep, narrow shelves and a few sets of smaller units.
