what kind of post was this. the owner talks about reconfiguration and we see noting of the space but little corners. why talk about it then?

Once these things start selling more, the price will drop and we'll be able to buy'em for 20$ or less. Great idea!

really your comment is disturbingly inaccurate. And not very constructive either.

From what I can see, you could afford to expand your kitchen a little. You could do a la shaped design, with the fridge being just below the stairs leading to the bed. Then you fill that space with counters and storage below!

I know the island thing is oh so popular(is it really practical in every situation? not so sure), but with the extra counter space from the l shaped design, you might not even need that island.

And I agree that giving color and material suggestions is difficult when we don't know your style. Another picture of the living space might help.

And show us when you guys are done!

it looks like those accordion wood hangers you can get for cheap. They are usually nailed to the wall horizontally to hangs coats, but for the hats they just switched it to vertical..

Shows how good houses can helps furniture look nicer. House #1 was way better, and house #2 does not show the furniture in it's full potential.. (checkered curtains?)

Actually I think the renderings on carpets are not really true to the originals.. they seem to be redrawn from the originals, but the designer seem to forget a lot of details... or even do weird re-designs... But i guess the general idea is ok.

the blue bag actually stained my white pants, as I was taking my clothes (in the IKEA blue bag) to the laundromat. The light stroke from me walking was enough to put a huge blue spot on my pants (hip level). I tried to remove it with a multitude of products, to no avail. I have also tried using that blue bag again, but it always stains my clothes (the ones I am wearing)...

Really nice place. Love the couch. And the bathroom is really classy and fresh.

AT (please, enough with the vignettes, waaaaay to many on house tours) A few are nice, to display really interesting pieces or architecture details, but not 22! yes, I counted.

I have my own milk glass collection, but this one is making me jealous! and very good idea against the blue... I might do something similar with a prune background...

At first glance I thought it was rubber. Somehow this idea seems much more comfortable... and durable for the outdoors. It could be grey, but also tons of other colors.

If they could use that same mold but make it out of rubber, THAT would be worth putting in my yard! (if I had one).

I must be a very unladylike woman. I love to put my feet on a metro pole, or on the seat in front, or on a living room table (in my own house, or after asking permission in someone else's house). I guess I just like to be comfortable that way. But yeah, the butt cheek on the pole grosses me out. AND I do take my feet away when someone comes in the metro...

I love it! Very fresh.

But I'd add a bit of color, somehow one teal pillow is not enough color for me. But of course that's just me.

ha ha! I knew the moment I read it that the 3 1/2 would confuse them all. We (Québécois) count the bathroom as a half room for some unknown reason. So that would be a 1 bedroom yes.

Those pictures barely show collections.

#2 is actually a good idea. If I visited the house of a guy (usually they are guys) with a bunch of Star Wars action figures in display I wouldn't necessarily be trilled. But a cool montage of picture of them? Pretty neat!
