what an amazing place. I love the poem in the bathroom and the dirty hair boobs in the hall! ;)

love love love your apartment! so calm relaxing :) excellent furniture art choices. super rad!

I believe that pendant light in the LR is one in the AT giveaway!

and that dead lady in the cubicle picture above the desk is awesome.

where are the scented diffuser reeds/jars from?

love the artwork.

what a great place to come home to after a long day.

Very nice! Love the artwork, the ceiling lamp in the bedroom, and the entryway. Only disappointment: no picture of the kitty!

Pretty funny to check in on one of my morning blogs and see a law school buddy. Sweet spot, Thuy!

Can you tell me which etsy shop you bought your pillows from?

Thanks for the nice comments, everyone! :)

The scented diffuser jar and reeds are Method, which I believe were from Target.

The Little Red Riding Hood and Big Bad Wolf pillows are from Fables and Foxes: http://www.etsy.com/shop/FablesandFoxes.

Hi Carol!!!

Great place! I love the thoughtful use of accessories and yes, those are some chic cat accessories. They actually compliment your artwork really well.

I love the paint colors. Would you please share the colors used?

we have all the same books! creepy!

Yes, Infinate Jest is the antlers of our book collections. I have it, too. How many people have actually read it, yet? But I digress...wonderful apartment.

Happy Birthday!

You have a beautiful home. The art is absolutely fantastic!

Lovely apartment.

And I must add that I love that the slideshow started with a sketch of the apartment's layout - made it so much easier to make sense of the photos. I highly recommend making those standard for all house tours.

I am completely impressed. And not a TV in sight! This is a beautiful home, very personal and inviting!

This is a very cool space, especially the art.

Great space! I'd like the space immediately because I have very similar wall colors in the living room, bedroom and bathroom.

I love what you've done with the art work! Thanks for sharing!

More kitchen pics please. Fewer closeups.

Nice accessories throughout! You have a great eye.

Where is that Marimekko Joonas pillow/fabric from?

killer artwerkz!

Darling!!

Is it difficult to do your makeup with that little mirror on your dresser?

Lovely space! Nice book displays.

Also, I second the request for paint color details!

I love your space and books - good taste all around! :)

I agree with "creativeneurosis." It made the house tour even more enjoyable and needs to be standard from now on! Your apartment is such an inspiration- I especially love your bedroom. The artwork is fantastic!

lovely place. What color paint is on your bedroom walls?

"'I'm not a fan of knick knacks, so the only things allowed in my apartment are art, books, and things that are functional."

Pardon me cough *MCM et. al aside* cough: does that mean orchids/other floral arrangements, tiny aphorisms in frames and random clusters of incense?/dark brown sticks?, personal photographs, etc signify "art, books, and things that are fucntional"? Jeebus! That means my plastic knife collection has a some semiotic of meaning.

Relieved. And thank you.

Thanks for providing the floorplan. (Echoing the request for future house tour posters to do the same!) Great art (and I would argue that art IS functional) and a beautiful (coffered?) ceiling in the bedroom.

very well done! where did Thuy get her lamps? they're great and very unique...

Beautiful!

And now I must find those chic cat boxes for my monsters.

Wow--I just love everything about this one. You have a great eye. And I join the chorus of those in favor of floorplan sketches. I really like it when house tours end with pictures of the inhabitants, too. It's very sweet.

Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home.

Lovely!

Personally my tastes are a bit less modern, but I really love how this looks homey (not too sparse) and is also not overly kitschy, which is the biggest pitfall I see in some of the modern-leaning home tours. This has a nice balance of airiness and color. And the bedroom looks so relaxing! Also, what great cat stuff! I don't see why there aren't more attractive pet accessories out there. And, you go very well with here home. Just be careful not to work too much lest you succumb to the fate of the girl in the photo whose feet are sticking out from under her desk. :)

*with your home

How do you keep Velcro from playing with all of your jewelry? My kitties are kind of destructive. :(

Is there a story behind the framed well wish to rest well...dated 11.08.09?

Love that you started with a layout. Love that it's a version of "minimal" that I could perhaps achieve someday.... How I'd love to just have the things that I love, keep it organized, and yet not feel as though nothing can be touched! The paint color in the bathroom is beautiful! I also love that this tour included a picture of the resident; Thuy, thank for sharing your home and your self!

I like what you did with the wall. Would you mind sharing what color is used? (the one used in the living room)

Beautiful bedroom! Does anyone know where the comforter/duvet comes from? I love the texture.

Yes, it's from west elm.

I hope this is not offensive, but you've got the best style I've ever seen in a lawyer . . . Anyway, I love what you've done with this place. It may be a rental, but it fits your style perfectly. Your modern taste combined with the history in the details of the place works so well. And there's just enough stuff inside to make it feel real and used, but not enough to make someone feel claustrophobic.

Also, LOOOOVE the coffered ceiling in your bedroom. Now you have me wishing I could do the same thing where I live.
