OK, but let's talk about the amazing purple painting with an actual paintbrush stuck to it. I love that!

I'd ask what building you live in, but, you know, TMI. Regardless, it's fantastic!!

Love it. Love the stair storage, the kitchen backsplash, and the super stream-lined powder room!

Question: the red fireplace doesn't look vented. Can you actually use it as a fireplace?

Ditto to the "337 sq ft, 2 bedrooms"? Wowza. Well, it's gorgeous and light and airy now!

Oh, thank you. (Duh, me.)

I, too, would like a Craigslist with the junk magically weeded out (and no one else able to browse it).

Seriously, you've made a wonderful home.

I'd love to see a house tour, if only to see if you have some "before" photographs so we can really appreciate how much work was done here!

First, I love your list, but I have to say one thing, as someone born and raised in Seattle: Hills are great to look at, and have a view from, but they do make it a *little* more difficult to walk places if you are not in the most fantastic of shape. I wish Seattle was more walkable than it is, simply because of topography. There are lots of little neighborhoods/spots where you can walk in and around easily, but if you actually want to get from some point A to some point B for a specific reason, walking becomes much less feasible. Even if it's only, say, 2 miles, which is not that unwalkable, there's probably at least two big hills inbetween here and there.

Also, @bkdesignfreak, I loved your comment.

I just wanted to say that I also really enjoy the High/Low articles, even if "the low is still too high!" or whatever.

I just like seeing how you can take inspiration from one source, and if the elements are not available to you, either because they cost too much, or because they're just not available, find a way to build something similar.

I remember this one from the Small Cool contest. Still love it!
