This makes great use of a small space. I especially love the smart upholstered furniture, and that great artwork in the bedroom! It looks like giant insect wings! Who is the artist?

Such a charming and welcoming place! I love how everything has a lovely patina of history and use. All the disparate elements work to great effect together. I especially love the fireplace and the screen. Gorgeous. And I love the opium growing in the back yard : )

I love the black kitchen, especially in picture #4. I think it'd be great to do it in an application where you'd want the kitchen to recede or disappear altogether...like a small apartment or loft with an open floor plan

I always feel like you should go neutral in a bath that is used regularly, like an en suite. I reserve all my craziness and color for the powder room, which I feel can take more color and personality without much commitment. Paint makes a huge difference w/o any hard construction or much money.

Fantastic space! I love their art collection and how it is displayed everywhere in the space. The kitchen and bathroom remodel is great, and I especially love how they added fixed glass panels around the tub in the bathroom - a modern and clean solution to shower curtains.

I don't think this arrangement is supposed to look like it's a considered and expensive collection. I think it's charming that it looks like posters, tear sheets and drawings that the owner loves. After all, you'll be the one looking at it everyday, and if the images have special resonance and meanings to the owner, then it makes that room all the more personal. I love the imperfections and casualness of it all. Rooms should be for living, not curating.

I love the idea of bold color and pattern for drama in a guest bathroom, but for an everyday bathroom where I get dressed for work, I have a hard time seeing color correctly on clothing, etc when there is a lot of reflected color in the room. This is why I generally prefer whites and neutrals in the everyday bath and color in the guest bath.

Fantastic looking space! What is the coffee table?

I feel like I've seen these photos before. Were you previously featured on apartment therapy or another blog?

We have a small galley kitchen in our condo with precious little counter space. We were thinking of going with two side-by-side under counter refrigerators, but couldn't find exactly what we were looking for in our budget. At one point, we were thinking of doing four under counter refrigerator drawers, but we would miss the storage space. We ended up going with a 24" wide, counter-depth Northland refrigerator. The compressor is on top, so that frees up as much space inside as a larger traditional refrigerator.
