I find it sad that the commenters are so busy pathologizing this obviously talented lady and not focusing on her amazing creation. No, it is not something that most of us would want to live in but her and her husband have created something amazing. I wish I could hire her to organize all of my collections. Genius!

It looks like the existing shelf pins are fixed. Maybe they wanted the option of being able to move the shelves in the future? I know I would.

I saw one (just one) of those green dining chairs on Craigslist a while back and thought it was sad that there wasn't a complete set. Glad to see there is and that it works so well.

Like rapunzel, I too have a paper problem. I hate dealing with mail and until recently have had 10 grocery bags full of mail stuffed in closets. Some were from a previous move. I say "until recently" because my Mom visited and spent time each evening sorting through it with me. She found the title to my car! Now I'm down to one bag to sort and shred. I have also stopped all junk mail coming and try to pay everything possible online.

Otherwise my apartment is pretty spotless.

I would suggest fabric roman blinds hung at the ceiling so as to clear the door. They are height adjustable in how far they go down and can be made at home if you have sewing skills. I have made them before. It was fussy but relatively easy. Good luck and let us know what you decide. Hopefully with photos!

I generally leave positive comments but this is so so sad. Tiny Tim would cry.

You forgot to mention Uncle Thorvald's Happy Kitchen which you posted before. Okay, it doesn't go with the contemporary ones above but it still lives in my bookmarks.

ivpb74 - I recently called Ikea and the person that I spoke with stated that the Ikea PS collection is only available in select stores for the foreseeable future. They couldn't give me a reason.

I really like the Slingra chair.

In cold weather areas a corner lot means more sidewalk to shovel. I'm kind of lazy in that regard but otherwise like corner lots & units because they can have more light.

That copper bathtub is gorgeous. Looks like a fun place to stay.

Hey ChristopherB - thanks for the additional info. That's a great idea. I fight to hide my wireless equipment & cable Internet box. This gives me an idea.

Count me as another person who's loving that closet office. Loving the yellows.

Beautiful wood end table. Can you tell us more about it? Nice art work too!

You'd probably be better off in the long run if you put the money from any potential temporary fix towards a future reupholstery job. Maybe an existing throw and a pillow will make it more presentable until then.

Enjoy your updated bedroom!

I like to have people over that first evening for pizza and a drink. People love to see the "before" and having people there makes it feel like a home.

Oh, and I knew a guy that use to replace the whole toilet when he moved to a new place. Now that's excessive!

While I can't say that this would be my choice to win the contest - the competition is fierce, I admire Abigail for successfully carrying off this amazing green. Great selection of objects. Would be a fun place for a cocktail party!
