apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

delicious. my eyes got really wide and excited when i saw that first photo. oh so fun!

Nice colors in the first photo... I've always wanted a Pachinko machine.

Love the little details but I'm not sure about that cat on your bed...

what the heck's wrong with a cat on a bed??

in general, its a little cluttery/crazy for my personal tastes, but i love how the hallway feels and i LOVE the quilt on your bed-- where'd you get that?

nice entry :)

While not my style, there's something about this entry... I really like it. The colors are well done.

Agreed. That quilt on your bed is lovely! I'd love to know where it's from.

I was a little wary of the first picture....then WOW...I love this place! I love the use of intricate (but not sloppy) little bits of color interwoven together. The hallway rug is the perfect choice to go with the artwork on the walls. The livingroom rug is busy - but the solidity/airy-ness of the chairs balances it out. My only critique would be to replace the big ottomans with something more benchlike - a Nelson bench perhaps...their poofiness almost overwhelms the Bertoia chairs.

anyone with a flatbed hand press in their house is A in my book

Love the bedroom. The cat is the perfect finishing touch and you know it goodnightdean.

I like how the artwork and the pachinko machines give the space little pops of color.

The quilt looks like a Hawaiian quilt.

Beautiful apartment! Where in Denver? it's clearly not LoDo...
Love it love it. (I'm in Mayfair)

no, Candice-- i was responding to the person who commented above me! i was staying that there's nothing wrong with a cat on a bed! :)

The colors on those things on the wall are so much fun to look at!

Is this your first use of an Occasional Cat? He looks somewhat surprised to be enlisted for the photo shoot.

I love the first picture, the quilt, and the Occasional Cat...the rest is just ok for me, though I think you have a knack for choosing rugs.

Modfan pretty much said everything I would have said, except that your cat goes beautifully with the darker, velvet-looking pillows.

i need that bedspread, its exactly what I've been looking for.

Help anyone? please help me find it....pretty please...

moepong, it looks like a Hawaiian quilt. I'm pretty sure it is. The Hawaiian's quilt in this beautiful two-toned style.

Thank you for all the comments. The quilt is Hawaiian. I have one other purchased in Hawaii, but it so happens this one was purchased online at Rainbow Hawaii.

It is interesting that the first photo either intrigues people or has the opposite effect. it is my studio where I wanted a creative fun atmosphere. I've been collecting pachinko machines for a few years. They all function, light up, etc. but also serve as unique art pieces as well.

Clickchick, I'm in Capitol Hill, not far from Mayfair near Cheeseman Park. A great building built in 1927.

Modfan, I can appreciate your comment on the ottomans. I replaced my sofa with the 2 chairs to take advantage of the great fireplace and entertainment center on the opposite wall. All the other walls are either doors or windows which makes arranging furniture a challenge. I still wanted to put my feet up once in awhile. Usually there is a wooden tray on the ottomans that I think makes them look less "poofy" but it seemed to distract when I was taking the photos. I have a cherry and steel table under the window that can be switched with the ottomans also. This works great to entertain more people than just the 4 chairs would accommodate by utilizing the ottomans as a window bench.

Moepong, Pottery Barn is giving deep discounts on their version of the Hawaiian quilt right now: http://www.potterybarn.com/products/p6762/index.cfm?pkey=xsrd0m1%7C20%7C%7C%7C1%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7Chawaiian%20quilt&cm%5Fsrc=SCH

I really love this place! So much colour but not just on the walls--really impressive. Congratulations.

look at that fat cat!

Sorry about all of the cat postings I do here--I find cats evil. I would rather have a turtle or ET on my bed. Katydids are cool too since they're lime green.

love the quilt and the cat!

meltendo, the cat is added color and matches the pillows. A lime green katydid would mean I would have to repaint the room. :)

that quilt is absolutely amazing...

Dig the toys, LOVE the cat, enjoy the artwork, love the place (all that room, I'd kill for it!). You did a great job creating a unique place that says a bit more than just "I sleep here"...If you need to get any of that cool stuff off your hands, uh, I could take 'em for you
(including the cat)
;)

Dibs on the upholstered chairs and matching ottomans!
