I'm sure there will be many who say that furniture along the walls is a mistake, but I LOVE all that open space with a straight shot from the kitchen to the outside! What a wonderful feeling!

I also love the green throughout, and that bed nook just makes me all happy inside.

That shot of the fridge was a waste and just gave the corner of kitchen a cold dark feeling. I do enjoy seeing what's going on around the world in terms of design; especially Asia.

Yeah, fridge shot was a waste! But I did love the green backsplash.

I think you have made a great start on your place. My advice is the lovely bedroom wallpaper would be shown off better if you change the bedding and blind to coordinate more by using different shades of blues, beiges, whites.

Going on the picture I think is the bedroom I now know why I hate wallpaper.

Really? I thought the bedroom was weird and random but the rest of the place was cute.

I'm digging the kitchen tile. I'm definitely down with using green in a backsplash. :)

Kitchen tile drew me in, but the overall feel is that you just moved in?

You have more to do. Keep playing up the green and white. It is fresh and clean!

Love the backsplash, and green in the living room.

I'm afraid my reaction was the same as some other folks in regards to it feeling like someone had just moved in. The wall colors are nice as are the kitchen tiles, but only the very well-organized living room space looks like it has been personalized. It's nice enough, but a bit thin.

Not to be snarky at all!! ...but it does not look furnished. I really think this needs more work. Enter it next year once you've done more. We'd all appreciate that I think.

I really think the kitchen is wonderful, and I like lots of the other details (like color choices and wallpaper).
