where can I find that wooden bench?

What a wonderful idea, i've sprouted flax seeds before, now i'm excited to try these! Thanks for this!

Looks awesome but i always wonder what to do with the stuff thats left in the bag that doesn't fit into the nicely organized containers. It never all fits in...

Hey Emily so good to see your place on here, your space is beautiful, love the backsplash colour in the kitchen and bathroom tiles. Where'd you find the bench for your wheel?

This is my patio, except now the chairs are gone and there's a custom built cedar bench along the wall, perfect for lounging in the summer time. The wood floor was added, covering the nasty concrete.

hrlemwrlddiva - the bathroom vanity came with the apartment and so did the mirror. Good luck finding something you love.

Okay so here's a few links to some extra photos, they're not glamourous but I wanted to share the rest of my place....

The "flex room" or as much of it as I could fit in the camera lens. This room is used for storage and all my art supplies (i'm a graphic designer and artist, so there's always canvas and random supplies just laying around in here. http://twitpic.com/1f7twv

The built in storage with sliding door that I added in after I had moved in. It is a pantry and also stores art supplies and shoes.

Thanks for all the awesome feedback everyone. I'd encourage some more.

I've been struggling with what to do with my bedroom. There was once a painting above the bed, but now i'm thinking I want a headboard. Hence the vast openess.

The flexroom was actually almost impossible to take a good photo of. The room has been converted into a mini studio/storage, there's wall to wall shelving with nice boxes holding all my stuff, and a wall to wall built in desk. If I have time I will post a link to a photo of it for all those that are curious.

The point about the toilet staring at you when you walk in the door, I think it's better than having the door face out into your living room or bedroom, it's nice having it out of the way, especially when I have guests over.

The table in the kitchen came with the apartment, it's bar height and perfect extra counter space. It's where I prep all my food every day and where I eat all my meals.

Please post more comments, i'd love some design tips :)

i'd be careful with those ikea tiles, they don't have the rubber lining on the bottom, so they may rot really fast and cause mould to form under them....

better off hunting for ones with a rubber section on the bottom :)

I love the addition of the pebbles. I used the tiles too, but the pebbles really add to it.
