My Kitchen-Aid mixer is the only thing I've kept even if it does remind me of him... Of course it outlasted the relationship, it will outlast me!

Everything else (excluding the wine) had to go immediately.

Love the windows and the period details!

Also...Your place looks much bigger than 655! What camera lens did you use?

I love it! Is this a new apartment building in SF? If so which one?

I LOVE this place. When can I move in?

BUT. 5 hanging items? Did you remove the rest for the photos? I almost hope this is a hotel or corporate apartment so I really can stay there.

Love the furniture! Love the light your place gets! I would like to curl up with one of your fifteen books. I'd probably like those too, if I could read the titles. Love the fact that you've installed a knife magnet for your 3 knives! Love your butcher block counters! Love the nod to vintage in the bathroom with older fixtures and new tile!

That said (and I feel like I'm channeling your mother, who - in my head at least - is Jewish and from NY), "Would it kill you to have a photo of your family? Just one?"

Carmen, I love your place! I LOVE it! I do have a question though...

To reach the mezzanine it looks like you cannot go up the regular stair case? You must go up the black metal ladder? Am I seeing that wrong? It looks like (and it may be just the pics) the handrail for the stairs makes the mezzanine inaccessible. Were you trying to use the space to its fullest while not breaking HOA rules? Or were you solving some other design challenge?

There is also this from World Market, which I have been eyeing.


Small Space Sleeping: 8 Favorite Daybeds

Something like that happened to my when I moved from upstate NY to LA. The truck didn't even LEAVE until the day after it was supposed to arrive - AND - I had to start work the next day at a consulting firm. No suits, no shoes, no nothing.

Check your contract with them to see what you can claim as damages. After you get your stuff, explain you won't be paying full price!

Good luck! In a few years you'll be laughing about this as the quintessential "I moved to NY" story - which wouldn't be complete without a subway-shaking building.
