apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Do you really sit on that comparably little black couch to look up at that huge screen?

I guess if you're gonna go, then go big or go home....

interesting layout. and what a huge closet!

@sarahjam. Negative. We watch movies from the bed!

Wow I think I might have went in favor of using the closet as a bedroom and buying some wardrobes for the clothes.

It's nice to see an entry from Lowell! I live there too, in another renovated mill building. I love your movie set-up.

@ChrisGal. Yes, we've though of that. :) Instead, we have one mega organized walk-in closet, which is a girl's dream come true! Imagine if you will wire shelving pretty much from floor to ceiling.

Did the 'shelf' over the bed come with the bed frame. Interesting. I like that you oped out of using drapes for your gorgeous windows. Soothing rich colors, great space!

I really like the windows without anything covering them. The tray like table on the bed is great too. So versatile.

@s_boston, tdeb: The table over the bed is part of the Ikea Malm series. The best part is that the tray table is on wheels. Actually, a good portion of the apartment is one wheels to make it easily reconfigurable. @sarahjam: The loveseat is on casters so we can move it to wherever to watch either the plasma TV or the giant movie screen. The kitchen island is also on casters.

I just want the windows

Your tv screen will be the envy of football fans everywhere. I'm actually surprised more people don't have them. You have a great place.

I'm so jealous of your huge closet!

...love the brown kitchen. it is sexy liquid chocolate!!!

Gorgeous windows. I live in downtown Lowell as well.

I love the bookshelf/laptop-desk combo. I have been looking for something similar for my apartment. Where did you find it?

A more tailored curtain over the entrance to the bedroom would make a big difference.

Lots of nice details here.

@sdorris: The leaning bookshelf and desk were purchased from Crate and Barrel; I can't find the ones we actually have, but it's similar to the "Sloane Leaning Desk." The best part about them is that the upright supports are steel. We drilled 3 inch holes in the back and have run out cables through the supports for a more seamless look.

@Elizcrtv: I totally agree with your comment. I've tried more tailored curtains as well. I haven't yet found anything that I really love. Suggestions?

I can imagine how organized the closet must be, but private bedroom areas are always nicer. It has to make anyone you have over feel weird to see your bed.

Hmm... I want to see this huge closet ;). You must have some great movie nights at your place. Nice.
