Love it! Simple, sophisticated, masculine -- very liveable and a GREAT location. Tommy's Top of the Hill Small Cool Contest Flag this comment	5/22/13 2:44 PM
Comfortable, interesting, and efficient. I like it! (Especially the wall of shelves.) Antonio's Warm Welcome Small Cool Contest Flag this comment	5/20/13 3:12 PM
Orange? Never would I have thought it could look so good! I love your home! Elaine & Adam's Cheerful & Cozy Small Cool Contest Flag this comment	5/15/13 4:05 PM
I love how peaceful your home is! Calm, coordinated, but not fussy. That is one tiny bedroom! Megan's Revived & Renewed Small Cool Contest Flag this comment	5/15/13 10:50 AM
Uhh, what fireplace?? Personally, I'd pick two colors from that floral pillow and put one in a rug and one on the wall behind the sofa and go from there. I do like the idea of a fabric piece of some sort on the brick wall. Wall Color for Cold-Feeling Chicago Apartment? Good Questions Flag this comment	4/4/13 10:06 AM
Eww. Ick. On so many levels. Do I eat meat? Yes, sometimes. Would I use slippers lined with rabbit fur from a slaughtered meat-rabbit? Yes, probably. Would I put my tea cup in the rabbit-fur slipper? Uhhhhh, no. Not necessary. Not sanitary. Not pretty. Not. Rabbit Fur Tea Cozy Flag this comment	3/26/13 2:23 PM
I like the design, except for the loft space. How will someone get to things that get pushed to the very back? Hire a child? adAPT NYC: The Micro Unit Design Competition Winner Flag this comment	1/22/13 3:50 PM
LOVE the black blue. Midnight blue was always one of my favorite colors in the big box of Crayolas. Color Forecasting for 2013 Color Therapy Flag this comment	1/18/13 11:34 AM
For areas OTHER THAN the kitchen, you might try a trick I've read about but never tried. Supposedly it is possible to dip fabric in old-fashioned starch and then smooth it to the walls like wallpaper; then it just peels off when you need to remove it. You might try Googling that.

@MRSYOW -- impatiens balfouri!!! THANK YOU! For years I have tried to find out what these are. I remember as a child touching the pods to make them explode, but I've never known what they were.

As a grad student in Paris 30+ years ago, I learned to drink wine out of the little recycled "mustard" glasses favored by inexpensive prix fixe cafes -- nothing beats them as far as I'm concerned. (The closest I've found state-side, and that not recently, are the Kraft Old English cheese spread jars.) Not too long ago I whittled down the 14 sets of sheets for the two beds in my house. Then I got a new (and chewing) puppy and discovered I should have kept a few more of them! 12 Things You Probably Own Too Many Of Flag this comment	6/6/12 5:02 PM

Love it!! The colors, the quirkiness, the arched mirror, the niches -- did you make those niches?? I'm curious about "the pantry" and the "dressing room" -- I assume the latter is a good sized closet? Could the former hold a small table? Personally, I'd make the "woman cave" my office, although with that light and view, I'd never get anything done. I'd be scared to have a mirror that big above my bed in CA, but I assume you have it wired down securely? I would love to have a gargoyle nest all my own!

Great use of color! Julie's Brightly Colored Walls Small Cool Contest Flag this comment	4/12/12 1:14 PM
Love it! (Or, at least what I can see of it -- I would love to see a few more comprehensive shots that give a sense of the whole space.) Whimsical, but very liveable. Great job! Jason's Charm & Potential Small Cool Contest Flag this comment	4/11/12 2:51 PM
Simple, peaceful, elegant! Well-done. I would like to have seen a photo of the dining room. Mike's Original Details Small Cool Contest Flag this comment	4/11/12 11:27 AM
Great colors. Good, clean lines. That rug in front of the sofa looks kind of lonely all by itself. Some closet!! Kathryn's Lucky Location Small Cool Contest Flag this comment	4/10/12 4:40 PM
I took a look at the new pic. Like the trunk in its new place. The chairs look really low for the counter, though. Humor me....what if...you switched the location of the TV and the stereo? Even if you had to angle the chest/TV stand in the corner, then pulled the sofa out into the open space facing the TV/kitchen so that you are facing away from the bed when in the "living" area? The "closet" could still hold the media collections. Or did you try that already? William's Created Illusion Small Cool Contest Flag this comment	4/9/12 12:25 PM
Very peaceful. Love the bathroom. Katherine's Multipurpose Palace Small Cool Contest Flag this comment	4/9/12 11:35 AM
I'm having trouble envisioning where the kitchen is -- the two squares outside the entrance to the bathroom? I think you have packed an amazing amount of living into a very small space. The bookcases would drive me nuts with books all directions. Very visually distracting. Have you considered trying to make a faux-front for them?
