A little stark for my tastes, but a great start. This place is perfect for an infusion of color. On a side note, the faux Rothko bothers me a little. There are so many great artists the world had never known that you can lend support, no matter how small.

Nicely appointed space, but the "coffeetable" bugs... It's a clever idea but seems too small for the couch, even in a small space.

This won't let me vote - it's already showing me the voting so far and no option to vote.

Also, is that the right floorplan? The bedroom in the picture doesn't seem to match where the bed is on the floorplan.

looks like the poll results of kelly and josh #10 sw are used here by accident.

Sorry...there was a minor coding error. The survey should be corrected now.

When did this flat go up for voting? Only 2 comments, but over 300 votes? That seems odd.

Anyway. It's light and airy looking. If I could vote I'd vote cool.

ps. if you like vintage you should check out "Good Use" in Boulder. She does some really cool stuff with dumpster finds!

i really like this place for the airyness & calm that every room seems to have. i'd say that's hard to do when you're dealing with a small space.

Pixie: I think the floor plan shown is one that the building might have made for future tenants... I've seen some floor plans mocked up with furniture layouts by property managers to give the person looking at it the idea of the space... How it could be laid out, etc.

I think its a nice space, but it needs a little color personality...

Hi, I really like the kitchen, especially the small appliances. I live in Boulder too. Would you mind telling the brand of your fridge and where you purchased it?

It seems strange to have the bed out in the open like that. This apartment is light and airy, but not doing it for me. The pieces of furniture--mid-century modern tables, Persian rug, bulky couch, chrome and glass-- aren't very harmonious.

cute space! Just needs a little color.

The floorplan doesn't jive with the photos.

This is a nice airy place with lots of light. The kitchen had some beautiful appliances. I voted cool, only because I felt that it needed some color.

This place seems very blah to me. The bedroom especially - the teeny art, the treatment-less blinds, the boring bed and rug, and then nothing else to draw the eye to something fabulous to balance the bleh.

Some cute pieces but not quite doing it for me as a whole. I agree with visualingal too ... the end table used as a coffeetable doesn't quite work ... it's just too small (and tall) You should move it over to the side of the couch and scour craigs or ebay for a coffee table to compliment it.

Nothing wrong with it, but noting especially inspiring about it, either.

It looks like a relaxing place to come home to, but it does seem like it's trying a little too hard to feel safe and inoffensive.

Kind of basic, but it looks pleasant and comfortable. Agree with the need for more color. I like the little round table next to the bed.

Definitely needs more color but with the limited space you have, you've done a great job. I'm amazed that you have so little! Seems very relaxing and uncluttered.. you could come home and crash and not worry about stuff everywhere. Very well organized. :)

Very open and airy - to the point of being model-unit ish. I agree that the coffee table's got to go, and I wonder how the flow of the space feels between your warm living room and your cool bedroom.

I had to do a double take when I looked at the floorplan - the bed's been flipped to the opposite wall.

Also - personal style, but I would put up a curtain over the closet door. And change the side chair to something a little more loungy and comfortable.

Negatives: no door on the closet bugs me and where's the color? I get the floorplan is there to show the idea, but it doesn't match the photos at all.

Positives: very open, airy, and bright. Lovely kitchen too. Does not feel small at all.

Oh, and the bed being so close to the closet looks weird. How do you get in there, by climbing over the bed?

I personally don't like the bedroom area. It seems really mismatched and frankly, boring. OTOH, I love your floor lamp and cactus. I've been really into cactus lately.

its a really sweet space for one person.. it has the personality of the owner. i like the minimalness of it, and the light. though I'd want to put a divider or curtain or bookshelf between the bedroom and living area.

I LOVE the silver side table in the living room!

is that a fireplace near the sliding doors? that little carved out area could be a really nice nook area for reading and entertaining...

That microwave oven seems really high! Can you reach it ok? Of course, I'm only 5'1". ;-)

I think your closet in the bedroom needs a door. Everything else seems very nice and cohesive. It's just a little bland for me, but otherwise, everything uncluttered, organized, and in good taste.

It looks a little... unfinished. Nothing on the windows, no door on the closet, nothing resembling a headboard for the bed? And the kitchen could really be anywhere, anybody's.

But some really nice pieces, I do have to say.

OMG!! You people that keep screaming color!...hush up! Everyone does not need color.

it's a cute apartment. it could be a great apartment with a few small touches like curtains on the windows and some more art on the walls. add some personal touches to make the space more "you." it seems very anonymous.

This is a real challenging space.
You could do a few things to finish it off and otherwise maximize the layout:
Think about pulling the sofa out at the close end so that the piece now sits at 90 degrees to the fireplace; yes out into the room. Creating a new sitting area.
Hence giving more privacy to the adjacent bed.
Plus the connection to the outdoor space will be more realized.
Think about getting rid of the rugs from your lovely floors.
The bed could stand a floor length drapery panel acting as a soft furnishing, as well as a headboard.
Use the existing area rug for when you step out of bed, if you really like that sort of thing.
Or just move it out.
Make it a habit to look at high end and budget magazines and ideas to inspire you.
The place really does need to look finished and inviting.
good luck.
