Beautiful conversion. Hope it has proper permits. A friend made similar garage conversion: pretty but without permits. City found out and made him reconvert it back to a garage.

I miss the DWR Outlet in Palm Springs. They closed it a couple of years ago.

I have bought most of my furniture from end of year clearance, or open box sales from online furniture stores (AllModern, YLiving) or brick & mortar store (Room & Board, Modernica).

It's not a matter of being impressive or not. It's a matter of space planning. It's a lot easier to work with a 1 bed 1 bath >900 sqft space because you have more room to maneuver with. Nonetheless, it doesn't take way how gorgeous this home is.

For a 1 bedroom, 1 bath @ 914 sqft, I consider this not small at all. We now live in a Cliff May that is 1,030 sqft and 3 bedrooms, 2 baths! We also lived in a condo that is 1 bed 1 bath @ 580 sqft.

Love it. This reminded me of one of the challenges that HGTV's Design Star did a couple of season's back.

I like the layout of this unit. Very workable with a roommate.

Minimal indeed! Love the Erte style bed. Why so many bottles of Hermes Kelly Caleche? Also Channel No. 5 is wrankiest smelling perfume: i don't care if it's a classic.

Exactly my sentiment. Stylewise their the same. And, ugh, I hated that HGTV show Designing For The Sexes.

The IKEA lights with built-in LEDs cast an awful green zombie color which you can't obviously change since the bulbs are built right in with the lamps.

Scour the internets for out of production Sony Airplay speakers. They work great. Work with Airplay and DLNA servers.

Needs more color. White subway tiles is boring especially when matched with white lacquered cabinets. I would have chose something along Heath Ceramics Dwell tiles. But that's me.

HA! Exactly what I was thinking. Maybe they should've gone bare concrete instead.

Very nice update! Once criticism though, that TV is placed WAY too high!

This is a special house. I love it. Where do you surfing (surfboards in photos) in Philadelphia, the Delaware River?
