Rackers's Profile

I like the wooden trunks and artwork. Not sure about the black door behind the TV, it darkens the room a lot. Also, the wall space between the 2 bookshelves is way too cluttered. Nice space, though, well done.

For anyone in the UK, you can find the magazine rack/side table in pic 3 here for an outrageous £45: http://www.made.com/tables/asgard-table-rack-beech

Love that website - what a gem.

Each colour is beautiful, I'm not entirely sure about them all working together in such a small space, but I applaud your boldness! Very refreshing and uplifting.

Very pretty and happy and interesting. Good job!

Amazing timing, I'm just in the middle of ordering a wood stove myself!! Actually, it's multifuel so can burn wood and smokeless coal (I live in London so it has to be a special smokeless stove - no idea how it works).

Really looking forward to it as it's a) really cosy, b) cheaper and more reliable than gas, c) more efficient than open wood fire. Winner all round.

My husband removed the horrible ornamental fake gas fireplace that was there when we moved in and knocked the fireplace through properly in preparation for the stove - I'll send in photos when it's finished :)

We have white laminate - it looks beautiful but shows up all dust and hair (I have long brown hair...) - would prefer a light brown.

I think it's very original and refreshing. Personally, I don't dig the "midcentury" that most AT posts centre around, but I guess that's because I'm not from the USA. It's nice to see something different.

In the UK we call them tallboys.

Yes it does look a bit prisony!!

As the floor space is so tiny, I reckon you can get away with buying a large and beautiful bath mat that covers up the horrible floor tiles as much as possible and makes a statement. You could try buying it in the same tone of colour as the floor directly outside your bathroom to give it a more seamless look: it will help make it feel part of the rest of the house and hopefully it won't feel so small.

If you want to paint the medecine cabinet, I would definitely go for colour, otherwise it would be too white!

Good luck and please post after pics!

A bit of greenery would soften the look, especially plants with large rounded leaves as opposed to anything spiky.

And some flowy curtains would be great when the balcony door/windows are open in the warmer months :o)
