apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

i loooooove the small sunroom/dining room!
the bedroom could definitely use some art or at least some character to the bed...it sortof looks like a prison cot.

but the other two photos scream "great taste".

jealous of your ceilings!

You have some nice furniture, but some of the decorative pieces in the living room seem a bit random. I don't think the painting of the ship or the portrait on the wall are really doing your room any favors.

Cool cabinet in your living room (right side of pic). What is it?

I love your couch and matching coffee table. Wouldn't you like them closer so you could put your feet up though? Maybe not everyone does that.

What is that crazy looking thing in the first picture? I don't mind it, just curious. Different is cool.

Simple, lovely dining room.

Wow. My first reaction to that cabinet was that something could be living in it.

Great collection of finds/unique stuff.

I politely disagree with Sydney; I love the ship painting.

I like the clean classy look of the dining room. What kind of vase is that on the table?

i love your apartment. it is cool, funky, and beautifully edited. it's great to see a place that is done with style, humor, and taste.

i love the pictures on the floor - very groovy.

i love the dining room. sometimes all white looks spectacular , not boring, and your dining room is proof of that.

ps- how is that couch? i am thinking of getting it. have you had any guests sleep over on it?

Your California bungalow is very hip. I was undecided about your bedroom until someone used the word "prison" in conjunction with it. Now I just think it's HOT.

Do you know when your bungalow was built? Is it stucco on the outside or wood siding?

I wish we got exterior shots of the contestants' homes.

With so many ecclectic and cool pieces your continuity is very impressive - like the coffee table and sofa combo.
It also feels like you could regularly rotate a good art collection in each room. Love that!

Walks, personality, talks personality.

I really love this place. Especially the paintings.

Very nice. I love contrast between the shiny black floors and the white of your tulip table and chairs. Are the floors new, or something that's been there for a while? I've been searching for flooring like that, but have been told that it doesn't hold up well. Your floors, however, look fantastic. Would love to know if you find them to be as quality of a product as they appear to be in these pictures.

i love your stuff - the combo of more expensive/ design classics and thrift store finds are fabulous.

Mod, funk, eclectic, and retro chic all wrapped up in one! I like the simplicity and I really fancy your globe... (I dig em as they add visual interest and colour to a space). Good job!

great bones/light...why clutter the living room w/ so much STUFF? Great kitchen.

I'm normally a colour junkie, but the white/monochromatic thing works in this space. I love the living room (especially that piece hanging over the sofa) and the kitchen, but I found the sleeping space a bit institutional for my tastes. Despite that, I still called this entry an insta-finalist. Overall it's just a great space.

all these bungalow entries are making me jealous-- i'm going to build brooklyn bungalows with my mega million lotto jackpot.

where is your gorgeous couch and coffee table from? I love those legs.

are the couch and coffee table DYI?
i think i see my legs...

I'm gonna try to answer a few of the questions posted...btw, thanks for the compliments
1- couch is a case study couch avail at dwr or modernica. Very comfortable to sleep on.
2.- Flooring in dining area is black linoleum- it's been there since I moved in- I think they are ok but would probably choose something else if I owned the apt. They do get scuffed and the black can sometimes retain heat during the summer.3- Oh yeah... the cabinet- I bought it at auction- a kind of strange curio cabinet. I would imagine that it came from a shop of some sort. It's got lights inside and looks kind of cool illuminated at night.
