Who was your favorite entry and why?

My favorite other Small, Cool entry is Family of Four's "Two Bedroom" Studio. I really like this entry because at first glance the space seems very simple... but then you realize there is storage hidden everywhere... It reminds me of London Urchin's Jewelry Box from last year. One day I would love to live in a space where all the storage is so aesthetically pleasing.

What's your next improvement?

My next improvements would be to get another area rug, add art to my collection, and get a different (larger) stand for my television. Because I am in grad school and will not be in the apartment long... I want to invest in items that I will be able to take with me wherever I go.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. It's definitely a cute little apartment but I'm not sure why it's a finalist.

I love this apt. I think it's one of my favorite. However, I think the bed looks terrible at an angle. I don't think it was like that in the original post. Move it back.

Disagree! Love the bed on an angle.

I love all the little vintage knick-knacks, very cute. The bed on an angle is different, and could be cool... what goes on behind there though?

Yes, love the bed in the middle of the room. Very gutsy. I also dig your dining room set.

this place, while not totally my style, has a lot of nice touches and details and at the very least some work has gone into acquiring pieces that work to build a cohesive 'space'

while i don't consider this a front runner. i can appreciate the details and prefer it to some of the other finalists.

I could move in and be completely comfortable in this space.

Quirky serene. I really like this and the bed on an angle is an excellent way to add space visually.
