Wm. H. Macy for sure, LOL! Wow...I love nearly everything about this place: the eclectic mix of old/new/rough/shiny/bricks/glass; the fact that it's a converted warehouse dock; and that Chinese bed WOW! (however...placement is kind of odd, IMO) and those shelves first reminded me of a giant walk in humidor for books! Really loved this place...would love to see it in person, for sure.

When in a small apt. you need all the storage you can get. Minimalism is great if you have a lot of space in which to 'spread the love' but the compactness of small apts. necessitates more, and more creative ways of storage, IMO.

Summer preview? In mid-August? How old is this article??? If you mean the preview of the end of the summer stuff, that would make more sense. Home Goods = TJ Maxx = Marshalls, they're all over down here in TX. And they're all somewhat hit or miss. But I guess that's when that special bargain pops up when you least expect it.

simple changes to be sure, but the biggest thing would be to hide the litterbox inside something larger to keep litter from being flung hither and yon (I know from experience). I agree with Depechie a ModKo version would be great but there are lots of others out there. Or heck, just hit up Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/search/?q=litterbox

as far as cutting the peppers first, i saw this on some cooking show, it works great - cut a small slice off the bottom so it stands upright, then slice off each 'lobe' top to bottom. What's left in the middle is just the white membrane, seeds and stem. No scooping or scraping required.

cut in half, twist, remove pit, score one half top to bottom, then score cross ways; scoop out with large spoon. Done. And only one cut.

Graphic Black & White Rug in Toronto? Good Questions

While what you’re looking for may be somewhat ‘hit or miss’, and you may need to do some more poking around, from my own past buying experience, you might also try:

EQ3
CB2
Etsy
Pier 1
World Market
Overstock.com
Wayfair.com
Amazon

Naturally, your mileage may vary. Have you also tried just imgae Googling ‘black and white graphic rug’ and seeing where the pictures take you? I’ve found many items this way. Good luck!

a house the size of my living room in the middle of nowhere. Boy, you gotta be some kinda special to live like that. Kudos.

nope, you're not as OCD as you think. I like everything at my fingertips, so I too store my OTC meds in the order I use them most...as well as most of my other types of toiletries and beauty products...and I alphabetize my CDs (soup? not just yet) Also reusing pop up cleaner containers for your plastic bags; using one big brown bag to store your other brown bags; and attaching a dowel inside my one of my bathroom cabinets to hold a roll of paper towels so I don't have to run to the kitchen each time. Also, as I'm an iced coffee fanatic, I make a big strong batch ahead of time (great recipe here: http://tinyurl.com/3evn7d3) and store it in the fridge...then I can just pour and go!

VERY chic and cozy, but I see no mention of two things I was drooling over: where did the fabulous vintage lamp in the kitchen come from and WHERE can I get those fabulous frosted glass globes on the coffee table?

I live in an apartment, and cannot change much about it, so the three things that stick out right now are:
-those ugly Victorian-esque type combo ceiling fan/lights...usually in brass or gold
-Faux wood cabinets and cupboards
-Apartment carpeting--that shaggy, nasty, dirty, medium brown, dust collecting dirt magnet! I have two cats, so you can imagine how much time I spend vacuuming. Horrible.

and another 3 for extra credit:
-Knotty pine anything
-popcorn ceilings
-those overstuffed, fugly 70s/80s style sofas...usually covered in some type of gnarly flowers or plaid....yeah, like this: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kpbl2urTps1qzihrpo1_400.jpg *shudder*

Totally agree with KWATTS....

Love the mirror, LOVE the boxes on the wall, what a great idea! Frankly I think I'd be intrigued to know the person who lived in this apt....um, except for the single (?) bed? What's up with that??

Meh. Whatever's thrown on the chair I want to hang up to get of the way.

However I am curious about that bedroom.

Sorry but I live in Dallas. In the summer my essentials are:

Air conditioning
Fewer clothes
Full body antiperspirant
More air conditioning
The eternal search for parking in the shade
Cold drinks
Colder air conditioning
105 excuses not to venture outside when it's 105 in the shade.
The agonizingly painful wait till October when it finally cools off.

LMAO @ bottomupfood.

Love the first pic - the flashy artwork against the white is great. Not to mention the art itself!
