Big breath, and ahhhhhh! You've achieved such a soothing atmosphere, nicely done. Kind of makes me want to drop by sometime for a homemade streusel or an oversized hot chocolate crowned with fresh whipped cream. Thanks for inspiring me.

I can see how some might think the home is too staged, but as a southerner turned city-girl, I think I must mention that southern homes tend to be a bit showy, as though always waiting for a guest. That said, my only comment is that based on the floorplan (thanks for including it!) I think it would've made more sense to turn the guest room, hallway and reading room into the master suite and have the master, which is a tad awkwardly attached to the kitchen, be the guest room. To me the "reading room," while cute, seems like wasted space (ha, that's the city-girl in me!).

If my apt redesign turns out well AND I'm able to enjoy a cup of coffee on my new couch, I'm sending flowers to all!

cet2055,

Thanks for the insights! I thought it sounded a bit complicated and a tad laborious, but perhaps I'll give it a shot.

Oh lordy--say it isn't so! This thing brews low acidity coffee?? I've suffered from acid reflux disease for nearly 10 joe-less years. Just this morning I was waiting for the subway wondering if I could go on another day without a rich cup of java to greet me at sunrise. Can anyone verify this low-acid claim?
