hello katie - I find that when I put bottles in the dishwasher they are not dry at the end of the cycle (whereas my dishes are always dry) and I end up putting them on the drying rack.

I was originally thinking shelves because extra storage in the bathroom is always good, or you could place some candles, etc there. But hanging a full length mirror as home body suggested is probably the easiest.

Love the watermelon table! It really looks great against the white walls and dark floors.

However, I agree with sunset regarding the chairs. If they are not authentic series 7s, I would consider painting them white (or maybe another color, but you seem to be bringing a lot of different colors in with table settings).

I am a lawyer and dealing with a similar problem. Here is what to do, in order:
1. Talk to your neighbor politely
2. Look at your lease and see if nuisance is prohibited. It should be in there.
3. Send a certified letter to your neighbor, and copy the managing agent, saying that he or she is in violation of the lease and you plan to pursue al remedies in the lease and at law.
This should get the managing agent moving.

Keep the plastic bins - they provide storage, keep the contents dust free and are easy to wipe down. Manhattan gets VERY dusty, especially under a bed. I can't even imagine trying to clean the dust off baskets stored under my bed.

With or without a bedskirt, I think the place looks great. Sofa doesn't look that comfy, but you can curl up in bed to watch a movie.

I agree with what a few others have said - move the fridge back to the left hand corner (to the left of the sink), remove that odd counter that is cutting across the window and add a butcher block perpendicular to the window, but on the outside of the kitchen.

@ mei-ling - do you know that keeping the extra weight in your car affects gas mileage?

Once or twice a year, or after I'm sick.

My washing machine is small so I usually take it to my parents house.

Target online has a huge selection of lamps. Last time I checked, they had a similar lamp in blue. Do a search for yellow.

I agree with Colleen. My first thoughts looking at the picture were to (1) change the shelves, (2) new desk chair, and (3) larger and brighter rug.

On second glance, I think the bedding is a bit drab looking, even though it is light. How about something with a bright color to go with the new rug?

I would also add a lamp and change the pot on that plant.
