Even as a happy New Yorker, this place makes me miss Seattle. Beautiful view.

For NYC: nybits.com and urban sherpa. Also, do some research and find the websites of management companies that manage the buildings you want to be in. I used a broker once and it was a total waste of money. I've done it on my own since, gotten better spaces and saved myself the broker's fee.

Fellow UWSider, what sweet place! Mind sharing what paint you used for the blue-green wall?

Where did you find that armoire? I've been searching for something similar.

Wow! The amount of work you put into this space is amazing. It is so well thought out. I'm impressed, particularly with the amount of storage you were able to work into the small square footage. Great job!

I love this space and your bold color choice in the living room. Your dog is adorable. Would love to see more pictures of your closets and storage solutions.

For a small space, that's a great sized kitchen (from a fellow New Yorker's perspective anyway)!

Awesome space. I love the way your collections are displayed, particularly how the vases are grouped. I also really like the floors.

If you must paint, definitely hire someone who knows what they're doing. I once had a bathtub refinished and they did the surround tile as well. It's definitely not something you can get a nice finish if you DIY. But I agree that your tile is very neutral so I would leave it. Paint the walls and replace all of the dated wooden fixtures, including a new medicine cabinet and lighting fixture.

Blah, meant the photo wall above it, not "about". :)
