What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your small home? De-cluttering and coming up with creative storage solutions. We used baskets for magazines under the couch, a locker for dvds and cds, the credenza to hide the stereo, dvd player, and books, and boxes under the bed for odds and ends.

Wow - I love your place. Great use of color, too.

Cute, I love the color palette, but this home doesn't feel "lived-in".

I like the mix of textures and colors. The bright light streaming in makes it seem really inviting. I just wonder, is that couch really a comfy place to lounge?

Thumbs up. Intriguing use of orange, which I normally don't go in for. Would love to have seen bath or second bedroom rather than a second shot of kitchen.

Is it dangerous having the microwave directly over the stove?

lovely! totally disagree that it does not looked "lived in". The minute I saw it I thought it looked like a home. Amazing light and use of color.

I love all the textures and visual interest in the living room! This is a prime example of a wonderful brick wall. I love the letter... and your sofa! I'd love to live here!

I voted for you as well. LOVE it. The orange wall, the green in the bedroom... great job! The storage ideas are helpful...so much so that I'm about to get up from my desk and go put some things away in baskets and boxes to hide some of my belongings away.
