Lovely house, looks like a real home! This looks to me like a good mixture between a nice space to look at and actually really live in!

Thank you for sharing! A real inspiration!

Love this home (and the house itself)!
I don't think it's standard MCM at all (because, even-though I like the style, I do find them a bit boring every now and then)!! This is not just a house, it's a real home!!!! And how gutsy to show the bathroom not yet completely finished! A home is always a work in progress!
Thank you for sharing and letting us take a look! Love to see more!!!

Love the gold letter-art on one of the walls! Did you make it yourself? And what is it made of?

Thank you for letting us peek inside your home!

hmm, I'm also not seeing a bed...
Could be something wrong with the links...
But the place looks great!

LOVE, love, love this space!!!! I think it looks beautiful, inside as wel as out!! It's sort of steampunk-carnival-farm-vintage. Great style! Enjoy this home as long as you can (can't wait to see what you will do with your next home!)!!! Thank you for charing!!

I really like this house! Lovely!!!
Eventhough you've only lived there for a short time, it already looks like a real home!!! And as you might know: a house is not a home without a dog! :p

I love your bed, very nice! I would love to find something like that one day!
Thanks for sharing!

LOVE this!!!
I recently moved, and am struggeling to find a place for my big-ass computer! I'm not sure if this would fit in with the reast of my style, but I love it anyway!!

But good luck to all the rest of you!!!!!

Love this! Would look great on my sofa!
But I think it is such a shame that you have to be an US resident to be able to enter!!!!

I usually like getting the AT mails, but these last days.. not so much...

Well, I like it!!! I LOVE the tv cabinet!!! And, yes, of course, that dresser.... sigh... beautiful!
this is an inspiration to me. After just moving house, and still lots of DIY that needs doing, it's nice to see something to aspire too!
Thanks for sharing!

I absolutely love it!!! I am in love with the octopus pillow!! I'm currently painting my new home, and I think you may have inspired me into adding some colour on to my walls... Thank you so much for letting us see inside you're wonderful home!!!!

It's a nice apartment, but it looks and feels way too magazine-like to me.
Don't get me wrong, it's well done, and looks very stylish and sleek, but it just doesn't feel like a "lived" in home to me. I like all the furniture on it's own, but put together I find it a bit (uhm, dare I say it...?) boring.. Where are your books and magazines?!?!
Naturally it is personal to you, you put in all the hours of hard work, making it a beautiful house. But to me it doesn't feel or looks like a real "home".
But that's the beauty! I don't live here! And the person who does loves it! And that's the most important thing!!!

I just bought this lamp a few days ago to go in my (small) dining room in my new home! I always liked it, and now I have a place to hang it. Can't wait to put it together and see it hanging over my table (but first I have to scape off more wallpaper, remove wood paneling, paint, put down floors, etc.. :p!)!
I didn't even think about cleaning the lamp, but thanks for the tips!!

I really like this!! I like the comic book theme!
But what I especially love is the sofa!!!

I have a small home and am currently moving to an other small home (I'm not at the painting stage yet, still taking off the layers and layers of 1950's, 60's and 70's wallpaper!), but this home is a real inspiration to me! I might steal some of your ideas!
Thank you for letting us take a look inside your beautiful home!

I think it's great! It shows that you don't need a big garden or balcony to show your love of plants! I like the little lights, I bet it looks great at night! And it makes the entry look so much more inviting! Nice to come home to!

I adore it!!! It feels/looks 'right' with the space (and the people who live in it). So many idea's for my shoebox-of-a-home! I love it when I can take away ideas to look at things in a novel way, to use objects for something completely different!
And like NashvilleJen said, it has a steampunk feel! It's the mixture of old and new, dolls heads on chairs etc :p!

I think it's original and absolutely lovely! thank you for sharing it with us!

I love the bold colour!!
I have a tiny apartment as well, (but I can never get it as tidy as you have here!!) and I painted the bedroom wall bright green, a bit lighter then you have, it took me some getting used to, but now I really love starting every day as a bright day!

What type of fabric is the shower curtain made of? Is it waterproof? I really like it!!
