Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but some people are really harsh critics! I think it's sometimes nice to have a work in progress...it helps you to appreciate the big difference each new element makes. Let me kindly post a suggestion to you...Have you considered moving your grocery items to one of the bottom solid wood cabinets and storing only your nicest looking dishes and cookware behind the glass doors? I think that might give you a more pulled together look. I love the idea of the green glass handles...maybe matching green glass knobs for the top cabinets, too? I look forward to seeing what you choose to replace the faux brick. Pressed tin might be nice if you don't want to add color to your new scheme. Congrats on the new job. Nice work.

Lovely! So elegant yet playfully creative. I just adore this type of apartment. I'm ready to move in! Thanks for sharing your great place with us!

Great job! You are obviously creative and resourceful. I adore the phrenology head image and use it quite frequently...it's fun! Thanks for sharing your cheery space with us!

Oh, I agree with catherine...Mad Med would be a great inspiration and blue and white modern Scandinavian would be divine! We used to have a summer cottage that had knotty pine walls and I loved them! They were very popular in the early sixties. I think mid-century modern mixed with Scandinavian ...anything simple with splashes of great color would be superb. Also...I know you're just beginning, but how about changing that ceiling fan to a modern, sleek white one with sleek blades? Check the thrift stores and the trash! Good luck!

Splendid blended, indeed! I absolutely LOVE what you have done with your place. Such a great eye...I adore the mid-century modern, Scandinavian, industrial, rustic mix. You've created a clean-looking, yet warm and interesting environment using talent and resourcefulness!

Your dog is great, too, by the way! Enjoy! ...and thanks so much for sharing with us!

Please, Apartment Therapy...show more homes like this one! No more same ole, same ole!

Please pardon that mini lecture to AT. Your home looks so creative, lively and personal! What a joy. Love your sense of humor. Ignore the nay-sayers and stay happy!

You've don a wonderful job here! Simple, clean, comfortable, interesting, artful.

I agree with the majority if posters thus far. I don't get it. I hate these chairs with all my heart! HazelSmith99, you are right! They cheapen everything! Ugh...maybe that Vipassana retreat was not such a good idea, after all!
