Home Depot is where we get the majority of our materials and tools for our projects.
What inspired you?
The expansive view from our studio inspired us to attain long term livability here. For efficiency, we built a platform bed. We also created storage in the center of the room concealed between a wall of bookshelves/cabinetry and a curtain.... [More text & pics below]

....Our décor includes a majority of items made by us [photography, blown glass, mixed media paintings (hanging to conceal storage under bed), painted table tops and sewn chair cushions]. One challenge was deciding on partition material. The simple curtain design was the best idea and it gave us the option of creating three different living spaces and storage.



Design Tip:
Take detailed measurements of your apartment before moving in and draw up a floor plan. Then place paper cutouts of all your major pieces of furniture on it.

I'm very surprised the way you show your home and accept very chritical opinions.
Hope my desire comes true someday and I can help "in situ". Toni
I'm sorry to tell you that I'm not really sure to give you my opinion yet. The better way to solve my doubts I think is to come over and have a direct look at your home.
I guess you are quite surprised but if I tell you that I'm writing you from Spain, I'm sure you know who I am.
Just to finish, my real opinion is that you have a wonderful home and it really matches with you. TONI
