Sorry for the late response, but I wanted to share this picture of a chair I had reupholstered this fall. It looks almost exactly like the one in the photo. And here I thought I was being all clever and original!: http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/306461_10150361399303176_621843175_8408085_753519701_n.jpg

The only thing I don't like is the condition of the sofa. Otherwise, I find this place to be really charming! This is how many of my creative friends live in the Pacific Northwest. and they are not hippies (so, imagine how the hippies live!). I agree about the serger, but maybe she doesn't use it often? and that should be 'Bernina Semi-Industrial' ;) - but only a fashion geek like me would know the difference!

I love this house tour. I live in Brooklyn, and feel the need to pare down. This was the inspiration I needed.
BTW - I love those Ikea curtains (I am looking for Grey linen curtains that aren't too expensive). Any idea which ones those are?

I am surprised apartment therapy didn't mention the Ikea Kivik. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S79884738
And I must say (Keep in mind that I covet a Nomade Express), that I am tired of the same sofa beds being featured year after year.

Ebrady - this whole project is 'a year in bed'. They are testing a new mattress every month. Hence, switching out the hasten's mattress (both sets of them - as they got to try out two different Hasten mattresses) with an Ikea one.

Maxwell - More Ursula please!

FYI - my Ikea mattress is a nicer mid price point Sultan with springs (and a Sultan storage base).

people - the squirrel fish IS disgusting and bizarre. That is why it's funny (that someone is selling it).
and that people have also thought it was funny and made their own comical renditions. (see regretsy)
Apartment Therapy - your link to http://lovelylisting.blogspot.com/ tells me that I should go to their new site http://lovelylisting.com/

I am also impressed with the tufted walls. I find it amusing that most people have referenced scifi paranoia and not Andy Warhol's Factory. Perhaps this is an arty project, people.
The old computer throws the room off, but over all interesting.

I give another vote for grout 'paint'. I needed to fix an area that was formerly hidden by a sink and had not been re-grouted. I soon realized that the stuff worked too well, and wiped it off early to keep it looking the same as the more recent grout.

I had a 1929 apartment in Chicago that had cork floors. The management was going to carpet before I moved in, but I told them I'd rather have the cork. But once I moved in, I wanted to cover them. In the living room, there were spots and large furniture indentions everywhere. and they were permanent. I think cork would be good for a kitchen, but maybe not a living room.
