Not a fan of this color combo but hats off and a vote for the
creativity. Nice apartment too, good old bones.
I love this color combo. The art and the plants also make the place really inviting. Good job.
Love the paint detail . . . definitely fun! Great job!
So nice to see a fellow astorian in here :)
Great job on the paint job, i particularly love the painted headboard...and thumbs up on the use of plants!
favorite room thus far! Unique, clean, well organized space. I love that the 3 colors divide the single space into distinct living areas.
Even the Poang looks unique in this awesome space. Great work!
another fellow astorian here...
The plants are just lovely, I agree!
and I really like the dissipating blue wall, very cool.
I love this! I wonder if the rest of the apartment is this great...I bet it is ;)
Great Job!! Love the paint colors ...you are creative!

VERY, VERY NICE !
well done, and like some of the other posters, i love the plants!
by the way, AT, the thumbs up thingy won't load for me, it hasn't for a couple of days...
Thanks everyone for your feedback "aj" & "fineur" the artwork on the walls are actually all paintings that I personally have painted.
Fantastic job!!
great use of color in a smaller space...the plants and paintings are beautiful accent to the overlook look...the room is very well put together in its arrangement
Love the digitalized paint treatment, and the artwork on the walls is fabulous! Wow... I just saw your post saying YOU were the artist! Gorgeous stuff!!! Do you have a website?
Love the puzzle pieces! Very creative!
What a great, eye-catching use of color and design. Love it! Go QUEENS!
Love the Palette!
I love the matching of the design with the colors used. The accent of green color of the plants is an additional attraction.

Apparently the above user does not like ANY space. I find this infinitely amusing. And I'd LOVE to see their home! http://community.apartmenttherapy.com/com/User/jdoz
Disregard above comment! AT removed a user's nasty comments from many many people's beautiful homes. Relief!
Thanks margie...I was thinking the same thing when I saw all the nasty comments they left on many postings.
this is one of the most inventive spaces i've ever seen. definitely one of my favorites in the contest!
I like the way you paint the wall, with the help of what do you create such a 'pixels' on your walls??? some stencil or ... ???
Thanks Fido....I used a template/ stencil made out of cardboard....Very simple.
