Many of the buildings hallways have been redecorated with more modern furnishings (Watergate East, anyway -- don't know about South or West). Everything does curve so it made re-doing our kitchen a challenge! (I think our remodel is a bit more down-to-earth than this, although I doubt we'd ever get into home & garden)

We are not allowed to hang clothes outdoors in our building...when we renovated the co-op was allowing units that didn't require non-standard voltage, so we went with the LG Tromm washer/dryer combo. We love it, and while the cycles are a bit long, it lives in our bedroom closet and works like a charm (with little additional humidity, although we leave the closet doors open while it's on).

We have a summit fridge that fits under the counter. Plenty of space for our needs and we're very happy about it. We have a separate freezer unit (also summit, I believe) that sits next to the fridge, also under counter. They're part of a small kitchen island. It's great--counter space above the units, and extra space elsewhere as we have no tall fridge taking up cupboard/counter space.

We used Venetian Glass (Khaki Red Mosaic) from www.mosaicsource.com and have gotten a zillion compliments. It wasn't the cheapest buy, but definitely worth the investment. Our counters are black granite and we have similar color cabinets. We love the finished product. I would definitely recommend!

Blackcurrant. Yum. I need to go make some now!

It looks like there's something reflective around the bottom edges...maybe if you dampened the reflection it would be a bit less glaring.

I also agree with the skylight shade as an expensive solution and the sleep mask as a cheap one!

I have an LG washer/dryer combo that I love. Set it and forget it! I pop the clothes in before I go to work, come home and if they're still a bit damp (as they tend to be, but doesn't bother me) a 30 minute dry cycle fluffs them up a bit before folding. If you go this route, get the bigger drum. There are two sizes and I think I'd never be finished with the laundry with the smaller capacity. I don't think the footprint is a huge difference between small and larger capacities.

I've noticed many hotels in Europe, from the UK to Spain do the same thing with their keys and the light switch. It's a great idea and I'd love to see it in the US...

I've lived in dorm rooms longer than I've lived in "legitimate" apartments, and I don't think that length of stay was a requirement to enter. This looks really cool and homey and reminds me of when I was in college and my roommate and I spent the summer planning how to set up our dorm room so we could really live there, not just study or sleep.

My boyfriend travels more than he's home, so it's lots of dinners for one here. I have the chance to make things he doesn't like that I do. And I take the leftovers to work for lunch, since there's no microwave to be had in this apartment to heat things up.

It looks similar to the green of my bathroom, which was Lucky Green by Duron paints.
