I just love the meteorlights site tip @1stnest! Thanks!

I LOVE THIS COLLECTION! Modern toile--so sweet! I will save up for that shower curtain.

Beautiful home! Thanks for sharing!

I would also recommend getting good window locks. There are more break-ins when scaffolding is up because people can easily get through windows. It, of course, helps if you keep your curtains closed during the day so people don't know what you have in the daytime. Kinda paranoid, but I know two separate incidents of friends who had stuff stolen with scaffolding-window burglaries.

I agree that the comments about being cruel to children are offensive. It's very US-centric of us to fetishize space and waste. It's that kind of thinking that have gotten us into this mess of an environment in the first place.

I think this space is clever, efficient, warm, beautiful and full of love. Kudos!

I concur. Way too impractical. Regardless, I do think that too much stuff is on the dresser. This would assume that the same level of "stuff" is on other things in the room. Because as a focal point, it can look too piled on. Maybe he should have shown the dresser in context to be more useful?

I like your apartment, even if it doesn't look overly manicured or staged. I, for one, appreciated the dish towel.

I *would*, however, fix those wires around your desk. They are a bit unsightly, even if you have a relaxed feel to the place.

I love the artwork on the walls!

I just covered mine with a tapestry. I didn't like the trunky look anymore. You can tuck (think hospital corners) the tapestry in a way that doesn't look too college dormy/tablecloth like and the stuff you're storing in it is still accessible.

You can also just make a new slipcover over it; then you don't have to re-tuck each time you take something out.

Soulful indeed. This is the heart of AT--showing how apartment dwellers transform spaces into artful, restful HOMES. Well done!
