Re: Before & After: An IKEA BILLY Hack Turns This Dingy 1970s Room into a Dreamy Home Library
This is definitely an improvement. I really like the wall color; I almost chose it for my dining room about a year ago. Maybe it's something about the lighting, but the floor colors don't play nice with the walls; I hope the contrast is pleasing in person.
On an unrelated note, I am not wild about the new commenting format. I'm afraid that a lot of the long-term members of the community may drop out because of it. The comments are often the best part of the feature, and I sure would miss hearing from many of the folks here.

Nice and cozy. And only for $80. Just needs a mirror though for a guest to check their look. Maybe on the opposite wall across from the sink. Or on the door?

LOVE this color and have considered it for a project before! I bet if you painted the ceiling it would make it even more cozy (I love a tiny color-drenched room!), but it looks fabulous ❤️
Re: House Tour: This Artist’s Tiny NYC Studio Is Proof You Don’t Need Much Space to Live Beautifully
It's funny but actually do usually keep myself to the small/cool definitions of "tiny" and "small" but this one just felt like it would be really tiny if it hadn't been designed so well, if that makes sense! But I do hear the feedback on the adjectives. It's important!

That paint color is beautiful and unique. I don't think I have ever seen anyone use it before. I think it's a great choice for a reading room since it's so relaxing. This is definitely an improvement to the dark room that it used to be. I'm impressed with the craftsmanship that went into this by 2 people who aren't even professionals at it, especially the flooring. The end product is lovely, charming, and cozy. Well done!

So cozy and inviting. Especially the window bench.
Re: Before & After: This “Totally White and Plain” Bathroom Gets a Cozy, Colorful Makeover for $80
Let's say I did the bare minimum to make it feel less white and more cozy XD…
I don't know if it can be called a makeover, but it made me feel so great after it was completed :)

Re: Can't even find the corresponding discussion thread with the same title.
I really dislike this new style of commenting. Reading the discussions was probably my favorite part about AT there are lots of places to see before and after. Making the discussion about an article "difficult" is a good reason for me to leave Apartment Therapy especially since it's not as good as it used to be
Re: Comment procedure changes
I, for one, will be sorry to see you go, @operacreep . Not because we always agreed (far from it!) but because I really have enjoyed your viewpoint and the way you express it. I especially appreciate the way you home in on the differences in homes in the UK and in the US - the "gargantuan" US appliances, the microwave-over-the-stove, and more. I wish you well, my online friend ♥️
Re: Comment procedure changes
My heart goes out to you for having to deal with these comments. It's only going to get worse when the rest of the loyal readers chime in. I appreciate your offer to help, but I am not willing to go through all of this rigamarole to simply make a comment on an article. I said it before, but it bears repeating: AT should have worked all of this out BEFOREHAND instead of ticking off longtime readers whom they stand to lose. This is a disaster. Hope Maxwell is listening.
