Is is just me? This site now looks exactly like The Daily Kos.

I will be honest and say that I usually have an initial negative reaction to redesigns. And this redesign is no exception. As with everything else in life, likely I will get used to it. I just pulled up the old design on the wayback machine and compared the two pages side by side. Meh. I agree with others that this font is more difficult to read.

My main bit of feedback is this: I am going to continue looking at the main page and the main page only. If there is content you want me to see, it needs to be there. Period.

I think we'd walk away, but we have family outside the area who would welcome us with open arms, and we don't rely on our home (or the land surrounding it) to make a living. If we had to start over, we probably could find a way to do it. Not everyone is that lucky.

that kitchen is more 1971 than 1981.

Some are recommending that you ruin those gorgeous cabinets, which would cost tens of thousands to replace, and then bring in IKEA whatever????? Yikes!

As someone mentioned above, these cabinets can go in almost any direction, depending on how they are accessorized.

Here are some pretty kitchens from rejuvenation:

Beautiful house, by the way!

An adorable little home. But please tell me there is some kind of invisible barrier between the bedroom and that long drop to the kitchen below.

I love everything! Except the plywood wall. To me, it clashes.

Your kitchen is a work of art. Love!

and TBH, I too would have gone with brighter white cabinets. Didn't AT just feature a pretty pink and white studio apartment? That's the look I would have gone for.

eh, I don't hate the counter. But then, I agree with bepsf. Forget about the apartment and enjoy your stay.

p.s. As others have mentioned, it's doubtful that your kitchen cabinets are original. You cabinets likely were put in after the original sink--which would have been wide with a built-in drain board and may have been free-standing--was removed.

I don't find anything "monochrome" or "minimalist" about this apartment. It's warm and inviting and very comfortable-looking. I love the living room. No home is complete without books. :-)

However, I'll be the lone dissenter--I liked it all until I got to the bathroom. Eek.
