Who was your favorite entry and why?

John's Mission Melange. I love how his apartment respects the original craftsman details and blends it beautifully with some modern and classic pieces. The kitchen looks so warm and inviting, I would absolutely love to have a dinner party there. I am constantly pulled between my love for modern and vintage and this apartment creates a fantastic compromise.

What's your next improvement?

The office area. It is in serious need of an overhaul to make it more professional (for client meetings), inviting (for home entertainment) and conducive to creative work. We would like a simple, streamlined double workspace table with one side that would double as a meeting area with new, bright colored chairs. Rolling file and drawer cabinets would be tucked underneath the table. The shelves would be reconfigured to better maximize wall storage with mini spotlights for lighting. A boldly colored rug would be great to define the space. After that, the next area is the bedroom and bed.

What a beautiful home. I love the character of the front door; although it reminds me a tiny bit of stepping into the principal's office! Great photography!

Oh man. Is that a Bolex 16mm? That takes me back to film school.

The couch is the Petrie from Crate and Barrel, I believe. I've been thinking of either the Petrie or Rochelle myself. Kelly and Josh, if I'm correct, how are you liking it? Would you recommend?

Love the medicine cabinet, are we looking at a sink wall backed by mirror or a pass-though sink area? so confused.

except the shot with the couch and the bed curtain closed, nothing here too outstanding. I liked it better the first round.

Really cool glass front door. Space seems smaller than 744 square feet.
