apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Nice space

it seems like a lot more could have been done with that brick wall. trying to treat a feature like that as though it were a regular living room wall just looks wrong.

that said, i love the bedroom area - good job defining separate living spaces!

You have a great space to work with! I like the textured brick wall in the living room. I think bigger art-work on the brick wall behind the dining table would look great. Or maybe an arrangement of lots of art...maybe some plants in the windows to liven up the industrial look...
I'm not sure that the couch really fits the aesthetic of the rest of the place. If you win, maybe you can get a sleek modern sofa.

good bones... the rest..meh

Color me confused - Is the entry behind the wardrobe in the bedroom?

While I like the space - alot more could have been done with it to make it special.

The furnishings are heinous as are the tiles in the bathroom. On the other hand the exposed brick is amazing. This person should trade spaces with someone who wants to take better advantage of it.

Nice space but the living room needs a do-over - especially the couch and rug. Love the walls!

Thumbs up - I like that you've kept that rough'n'ready look rather than over-designing it. You've clearly thought carefully about your furniture and you've really preserved an industrial quality about the place (in a good way!). Having said that, if you felt like replacing that couch, that woudl be good too ;)

See, I couldn't live in your space cause I would just keep buying more and more stuff. You have so much space! Good for you.

Fabuloso!

A gorgeous space, but the decor leaves something to be desired. The couch, for one thing, looks really out of place in that living room. And you're not really taking advantage of the high ceilings...the furniture and art looks a little lost in all that space.

Interesting space. Decor, not so much.

The thing I love about this place is the brick, thats about it, it reminds me of Lulu Carpenters in Santa Cruz, a very cozy coffee shop there

Reminds me of "Friends"... do you live with Rachel and Monica and Phoebe?

I can see a great collection of art displayed on those brick walls...big bold pieces. I like the exposed brick.

This is a beautiful but difficult space. The long brick wall overwhelms it and the big bright windows on one end makes the other end very, very dark. It's not easy decorating a place like this.

This room would be so great if the couch and rugs were different.

love the walls!

interesting place - something more should be done with the concrete and the brick wall - what I don't know - but it does present a challenge

Looks like Lisa's been around

I'm moving to Durham and would love a loft like this.

couch is going very soon, one to match the single chair will be arriving.

Its tricky because the apartment entry door is directly behind the recently installed bedroom cupboard. that hallway now needs some attention too. I think a heavy curved rail above attached to wardrobe corner across the foot of the bed to the bathroom wall and thick interesting fabric curtains might shield off the bed area when guests visit. That might be one good solution?

love it

It's beautiful! I love the Kitchen! No criticism at all! But think you need a few reminders of where you came from: like a nice Nguni cow hide on those stunning concrete lounge floors with a big brown colonial leather couch & a big canvas of a CT sunset over the mountain! ;)

Oh like the idea of fabric curtains, but maybe trade thick heavy curtains for lots of light sheer fabric- this will be more airy and help keep the wide open feel of the apartment.

Looks Great!!! Think the Lisa's couches will be a great touch. Love the kitchen and the dividers. The walls are SWEET!!!!

I love the concrete wall! Looks industrial... Really cool!
