How 'Bout Now?
Monday - 1/31/2011, 2:06am EST
Federal employees were sent home two hours early on Wednesday, but waaaaay down in the announcements was this direction from the Office of Personnel Management:
With supervisory approval, a telework-ready employee may depart prior to the scheduled early departure time without charge to annual leave provided the employee makes up the time later in the day by teleworking, as permitted by his or her agency's policies, procedures, and collective bargaining agreements.
"Yes," some might say, "but my power went out."
"Yes," others might say, "but my agency didn't tell us we could leave early until two hours before I would have left anyway."
"Yes, but..."
While there may be a chorus of "yes, buts" heard across the federal government, it was possible.
But only if the employee had a telework agreement in force.
The alternatives, like using leave or maybe getting stuck in traffic, are probably more of a hassle than filling out the paperwork for telework.

Vicky, or Victoria, is the very personification of voluptuousity. An underrated model with phenomenal tits. Her 40EE tits have always attracted a lot of attention from blokes, so Vicky figured she might as well try her hand at adult modeling. With her body type and huge globes, no mainstream advertising agency is going to hire her or models built like her. The powers that be are not kind to big women. She didn't mind being naked and has an exhibitionistic streak. She practiced masturbating at home in front of a mirror, an idea that would be very good for a video itself.
Well, Vicky looks killer in her black bra and knickers. 'The real world woman' Victoria or Vicky is one of those near perfect British gals, with big tits, breeding hips, a fleshy arse and strong, shapely legs. "I like to go to the cinema, the botanical garden, and to street fairs during nice weather," says Vicky. "What do I wear on a nice day outside? Shorts, but not too tight or too short. A sweater that's not too low cut or sexy. Flat sandals. I'm afraid that I don't dress very risque in public. But in the bedroom or in the studio, I love to wear lingerie. Another side of me comes out."
Vicky's got that Grecian goddess hairdo going on--but that ain't the reason we placed her on a pedestal. Poor Vicky. Here's an Englishwoman who's always been a quietly smashing V-Mag model yet curiously underrated by big-boob lovers. Guys, this is the kind of huge-boobed woman you marry and spend many happy hours dipping your Johnson into at all times of the day. Just feast your eyes on that curvy, fleshy, robust, healthy body. Her bushy quim satisfies those who like hair. Her ass was made for spreading, her firm, solidly packed tits for fucking. While she may never be a superstar, she's the gal you can count on for superb voluptuosity in every way. If you know someone just like Vicky, tell us. We'd love to lens her in all her glory.
It took a while but we finally got Vicky to masturbate. We should rephrase that. We finally got Vicky to plug her pussy for the video cameras in Stacked & Packed #2 . "I thought about it for a while. Then I just let the idea pass. To be truthful, I was skittish about doing such a personal thing for all men to see. But, then you asked me again, and later on again, and the thought began to intrigue me more and more. When I would masturbate at home, I began to look at myself in the large mirror in my bedroom. And when I saw how many girls are doing it, like Susie Wilden, Chloe, Chaz, Amanda White and Linsey, the more I realized that I should do it. And now that I have done it, I must admit, I looked very sexy on video!"
Another look at Vicky, a quiet regular-gal favorite of many boob guys, especially in the U.K. Take a close look at her tits -- there's your answer. Her sole video footage is in Stacked and Packed #2 . "I use a vibrator at home. Using one in front of a cameraman at first made me feel self-conscious but your staff was quite solicitous. I never placed one between my breasts before. That was quite a new experience!" Vicky's tits are even more astounding on videotape.
A computer office worker in London, England. Vicky, or Victoria, is the personification of voluptuousity. Her tits have always attracted a lot of attention so Vicky figured she might as well show the world what she's got under that 40EE brassiere. "Men can be very cheeky. They talk to my chest, not my face. I have learned to live with that. To be honest, I am quite proud of my chest." We are very grateful for her benevolence. She is the kind of woman who belongs to the world of XL. More power to Vicky, we say.
Join now and discover why we are the only choice for
the discerning BBW lover.

We got this for my husband's wedding ring. He really likes the engraved look, and this ring is really beautiful AND handsome! It's still manly even with the floral engravings ;) -- I was hesitate to get this ring a half size smaller, because we had been having poor luck with getting a ring that fit, but this one did fit him with ordering a half-size down. He still thinks the fit could be slightly better, but so far it's been the best one we've tried. We also really love the price we paid! All our local jewelry shops would sell a ring like this for at least a couple hundred dollars.
I bought this ring for my fiance to be his wedding band when we get married. Overall, the ring is a great buy for the price. The size was a little big, even though we had gone and tried on rings similar to this.
My husband and I loved what we ordered. It was exactly what we expected. I have suggested to others to check out the website, because we were very happy and look forward to shopping again.

The FOI commission ruled in September that the recordings of calls from inside the school should be provided to The Associated Press.
The state's attorney leading the investigation into the Newtown shooting, Stephen Sedensky III, has asked for the ruling to be reversed in New Britain Superior Court. A hearing is scheduled Friday on his request for a stay of the ruling while his appeal is pending.
A gunman killed 20 children and six educators inside the school on Dec. 14.
The AP has sought the recordings in part to examine the police response to the massacre.

PARIS (AP) -- After two straight home losses in the French league, which coach Carlo Ancelotti described as a crisis, Paris Saint-Germain's promising season will take a turn for the worse if it fails to win at Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Despite big home wins against Dynamo Kiev and Dinamo Zagreb, PSG can still go out of Europe if it loses Wednesday and at home to FC Porto, and if Dynamo then wins its remaining match against Dinamo Zagreb. Although a draw will also put PSG through to the knockout round.
That scenario seemed unthinkable when PSG routed a poor Dinamo side 4-0 two weeks ago, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic looking imperious. But confidence has been severely dented after Saturday's embarrassing 2-1 home loss to Rennes, which played most of the second half with nine men and a third-choice goalkeeper.
"We only have ourselves to blame," PSG striker Guillaume Hoarau said. "But we have to stick together despite all of this. We're counting on everyone. We're not going to start having a go at each other. That serves no purpose."
Porto hosts Dinamo in the other Group A match.
"Although we have already qualified, we have the objective of finishing in the top position," Porto midfielder Lucho Gonzalez said.
Aside from two extravagant performances against two weak teams in Europe, and a 4-0 win over struggling Bastia, PSG has failed to justify its massive outlay on new players this season, picking up one point from the past three league games.
Big names like Javier Pastore and Ezequiel Lavezzi are on the bench, while last season's top scorer Nene tries to understand why he's not getting more games.
Juggling fragile egos is proving very difficult for Ancelotti, who reportedly launched into a dressing room tirade after Saturday's loss. Ancelotti won the Champions League as a player and a coach with AC Milan, and led Chelsea to the Premier League and FA Cup double in his first season.
But he admits he is baffled at the lack of unity in the PSG team, deploring how there are too many individuals playing for themselves.
"We have the quality and the technique, but that's not enough," PSG central defender Zoumana Camara said. "Our problem is team spirit."
Thankfully for PSG, Ibrahimovic returns to the side after missing two league games through suspension, and his return could not come at a better time. He is the club's top scorer with 12 goals in all competitions.
But PSG will be without winger Jeremy Menez, who picked up a thigh injury on Saturday. Right back Christophe Jallet and striker Kevin Gameiro are also out, but central midfielder Thiago Motta returns.
Ibrahimovic is coming off a magnificent performance for Sweden against England in last week's friendly match, where he scored all four goals in a 4-2 win, including an astonishing overhead kick from 30 yards.
Dynamo lost at Metalurg Donetsk 1-0 on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Porto's 16-game unbeaten record seems highly unlikely to come to an end against Dinamo, which has lost all of its matches so far and has yet to score a goal. Last season, Dinamo lost all six group games.
Porto enjoyed a comfortable 3-0 win at Nacional in the Portuguese Cup last weekend, while Dinamo routed relegation strugglers Zadar 5-0.
"The entire team proved that they are emotionally united, that they think of what is best for the team," Porto coach Vitor Pereira said. "We gave proof of great team spirit and quality."

With three deaths coming at the hands of police officers this year, people in Yakima may be worried about how aggressively officers are apprehending law breakers. The police department looked to addressed those questions Monday.
This is a scene Yakima has seen often this year. Five times officers have used their guns on a suspect. Three times ending a life.
"It seems as if the criminal element is much quicker to go hands on or go to the guns and go toe to toe with the police versus how it was 10 to 15 years ago," Captain Rod Light of the Yakima Police Department said.
Officers are trained to only use deadly force when protecting themselves or the safety of the public. The police department says the way Rolando Villanueva was driving his green Honda Accord Saturday night endangered everyone around him.
That caused officer Ira Cavin to shoot at the car three times on the Nob Hill on-ramp to Highway 82. Striking him twice, in the chest and the arm. He later bled to death.
"We have to reflect back over the years past where individuals driving erratically has cost private citizens their lives," Captain Light said. "So the attempt was to get him stopped."
Investigations have determined the previous deadly shootings were justified but that doesn't change the perception some people in Yakima may have.
"There's going to be be a faction in any community that's not going to agree with what the police do," Captain Light said. "They're going to find fault in what we do but the greater majority of the people if you look out there support the police."
The Yakima Police Department says while they would like to minimize all violence they respond to each situation individually and the most important thing is safety for the officers and the public.
Officer Ira Cavin has been placed on administrative leave pending further investigation, which is Yakima Police Department protocol.

Q&A: What are the effects of smoking during pregnancy?
My wife is two months pregnant and so far everything has gone well in her pregnancy. The only problem is that my wife smokes about a pack of cigarettes per day. I am worried that her smoking will hurt the baby. I just can't get her to stop smoking. Can you tell me some of the problems that babies have if the mother smokes? I want to tell my wife and try to convince her to stop.
Smoking is quite an addiction—it can be immensely difficult to quit. Many people use cigarettes to "self medicate" for anxiety, and some smokers have other addiction problems like alcoholism that may also pose a risk to the pregnancy. It takes confidence and motivation to quit smoking. Your position is hard, too, since you are not the one addicted to cigarettes, and yet you have just as much interest in having a healthy baby.
Smoking transmits toxins from the mother's lungs through her blood and into the fetal circulation. Nicotine also causes spasms in blood vessels, which can cut off oxygen and nutrients flowing to the placenta and Baby.
While many pregnancies will go fine, smokers are at increased risk for:
- Miscarriage
- Premature birth
- Poor fetal growth
- Stillbirth
- Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
So what's a dad to do? Quitting smoking requires motivation and support. Even though you are aware of the risks of smoking, you may not want to take on a nagging or parental role with your wife. It takes a certain amount of self confidence to quit smoking, and being berated doesn't often help get someone to the point where they feel they can try.
Be sure your wife's doctor or midwife knows she smokes, and let them talk to her about the risks and how to quit. Some moms need medications or nicotine replacement, which may be safer than cigarettes during pregnancy. 1-800-QUITNOW is another resource, and the March of Dimes has a lot of good information. And of course, ask her if there is anything you can do to help her quit, and be there for her if and when she tries. Good luck to you both!

What we're all about.
LED Lighting has quickly become an ocean of confusion. Products are being discontinued and replaced at ridiculous speeds, leaving consumers weary of what LED products they can trust.

At Volt Lighting Group, we believe that slow and steady wins the race. Consumers should not be field-testers. The products we offer have been used in real-world applications for over 6 years, enabling you to offer LED products to your customers with total confidence. That's right....LED's with total confidence. When we announce a new product, there is no concern as to whether or not it will function as promised. We do not offer you a new product until it passes a long, vigorous testing process including many real-world installations.
In addition to high-volume retail products, we offer all of our products in custom layout configurations. Most custom systems ship within 48hours from our custom wiring and assembly facility located near Portland, Oregon.
Our products are in high demand, and our average dealer triples their sales with us over the first 12 month period. Our secret sauce? We offer trouble-free, high-performance products at a low price.

Most of us are lucky enough to have clean water available to us at the touch of a button, or turn of the faucet.
It's one of those things that we as Americans take for granted, but one East Texas college student wants us to think about it just a little more.
TJC student Brian Lamb says he received something of a vision last summer to do something for people in the world who don't have the option to drink clean water -- and that's how his company Replenish was born.
But Brian says his goal is bigger than just providing clean water for the people in developing nations all over the world.
"I want to create community awareness, not only in East Texas but hopefully in the United States at some point, because we have the privilege of clean water everywhere we look," he says.
Brian was inspired to model Replenish after the company TOMS, which donates a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair that someone buys -- the one for one model. Brian starts by donating one water purification tablet for every bottle of water he sells.
"For every tablet, like I said, it purifies an entire liter of water," says Brian. "And if we sell a case, we donate this part of the LifeStraw family, and this is called a personal life straw, and that provides an individual for an entire year of clean water. And then if we sell 3 cases to a person, then we donate a LifeStraw family, and that actually provides an entire family of four for three whole years of clean water."
Brian went as far as to test the LifeStraw himself before he ever pledged to donate one.
"Like after drinking it, the water didn't only taste ok, it actually tasted good. That's the thing about it, it's not just like, oh, you can drink the water, you can put up with it. It's not as bad as drinking muddy water or anything like that. But it actually tastes good. That's the thing that I like about it so much," says Brian.
Brian sees Replenish as more than a company he plans to keep running for awhile -- it's his opportunity to spread the word of God and physically save lives at the same time.
"I mean, being able to donate these, I'm helping families out, individuals, it's the best job in the world. It's a win-win-win situation," he says.
Brian is working with the organizations Mercy Ships and Living Water International right now, and he plans to make Replenish's first donation in two weeks.
He's currently donating 232 water tablets and 20 LifeStraws -- he'd like to donate 250 tablets and 25 straws, so he's almost there.
If you'd like to buy water or other products, like t-shirts or bracelets, to help him out, you can visit his website.

Jack (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is a 40-something average Joe, a New York limo driver who drifts gently through life without unduly bothering anyone. His best friend and mentor is his co-worker Clyde (John Ortiz). Jack thinks that Clyde is great; he's everything that he is not, extrovert, self-assured, confident. Clyde is married to Lucy (Daphne Rubin-Vega) who works at a funeral parlour with the shy, timid Connie (Amy Ryan). Clyde and Lucy think the pair would be perfect together and heartily encourage something more than friendship. And indeed Jack and Connie begin shyly, almost reluctantly, dating whilst, ironically, their matchmakers' own marriage faces serious problems. This beautifully-acted four-hander is at times reminiscent of Woody Allen's classic 1970s relationship comedies or even Mike Leigh's parables of social conventions gone awry. Its theatrical roots (a play by Bob Glaudini) make for an ordered, graceful opened-out structure that first-time director Hoffman realises fully through the superb cast.

Small Cool 2010: Jason & Jeff's 'Cocktail Party Perfect'
International Division #4
Who Lives Here: Jason & Jeff
Location: Toronto, Ontario — Canada
Size: 613 square feet
What is your favorite element of your Small & Cool home?I have to say, I love our velvet floor-to-ceiling eggplant drapes. When I saw the fabric, I knew it was perfect. There's something about custom window coverings that makes a cookie-cutter-condo feel special, like couture for your apartment.
Thumbs Up Voting is only activated for 48 Hours — so don't delay!
What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your Small Cool home? I wasn't sure how I would fit all of our needs: a formal living, an ultra informal cozy place, and a dining area into the very small space allocated. We managed to max-out our living area by using a very small, round bistro table (it's usually just us anyway) and by walking the line between formal and informal in our living area. A large upholstered ottoman and a comfy couch makes it perfect for RuPaul's Drag Race marathons, but the collection of lovely armchairs and dramatic drapes makes the room cocktail-party-perfect.

It has a great hotel feel without the depersonalization. Theres a lot of stuff but it doesnt feel cluttered-- which is quite a feat
Nice on the eyes, lovely monochromatic with a few other hints of color.
Living room is great, although there's just one too many chairs for me, but it still looks very nice and still doesn't appear too cluttered.
Very elegant and cohesive.
At first glance, this does look like a posh hotel. I like that you've kept the color scheme subdued- it's allowed you to play with furniture of different eras without it looking disjointed! The striped wall is a sophisticated touch. Nice job!
warm, masculine, a space for grown-ups -- i love it
Yes, it really is elegant. Beautiful use of color and space. Perfectly executed.
Yay Toronto! This is almost the exact same layout as the condo we will be moving into next week! May I ask what neighbourhood this is in?
BTW, very nicely done!
I'm in the love with the striped wall!
Thanks everyone!
daracox, it's in College Park.
The lounge room and kitchen have a warm feel though I do agree with the others that it looks a little like a hotel (a beautifully furnished one though). My question is, why does the bedroom look a lot less ordinary? Perhaps fluffing up the pillows a bit before the photo shoot would have helped?
I meant to say, why does the bedroom look a lot less glamorous than the lounge and kitchen?
Love the space. Your layout and sqft are almost exactly like that of the condo I'll be moving into soon (in T.O. as well). :) May I ask who your builder is?
Love it! What is the deal with condo developers in the GTA all using the same layout? My condo is almost the exact same except a little longer & the den is open.
I love the roller blinds in the bedroom - I have been looking at something similar for a while (and my window is the exact same strange shape). Where did you get them?
Hey djenar - Thanks for your comments. I hear you all on the hotel business, but it's so chock-full of our stuff that it really does feel like ours. All the bits and pieces have been pulled-together over the last 7 years and squeezed in here when we moved in last May.
The bedroom is only 9X9, so it's ALL King-sized bed. It's extremely spare and tidy: a welcome retreat from all the colour, texture and eclectism of the living area.
I kinda think it's glamourous in its own way - purple wall, bright clean linens, and a 26th floor view of the Toronto skyline. I didn't want to compete with that.
Hi TijinaBanana -
The blinds are from Blinds to Go! Super cheap and soooooo fast! They are a nice oatmeal linen. And blackout, which was necessary when the sun rises and starts to bake you (we sleep in!).
I didn't photograph our den - It's at the front near the washer/dryer and we outfitted it with shelving and closet rods and made it a butler's pantry, of sorts. Who needs a 4X8 den, anyway?
i would like to know where the roller blinds in the bedroom are from as well. had something similar in a rental and now want them for a new condo but cant find them anywhere.
great space!
Love this apt! Very chic.
AT is there away to turn off that annoying "Facebook/Twitter" popup I get EVERY SINGLE TIME I do a thumbs up? I am already very tired of it and we are on day 2 here...
Thanks! Can't wait to replace the ugly vertical blinds that are still there from the previous owner.
Very sophisticated, I agree with matt manfredini, as I get an upscale hotel feel but with personality. This is a very nice space, the bedroom was a little dull but the rest of the home really makes up for it.
I see why people are saying it's hotel-like, and my comment of "elegant and cohesive" could be taken that way, as luxury hotels spend a lot of money to present an elegant and cohesive look.
But I don't at all think this looks like a hotel; it looks like someone's actual life and stuff put together in an elegant and cohesive way. Also, learning that the bedroom is really only 9X9 puts it in perspective - you pretty much have to keep it that minimal in order for it to be restful.
Thanks, emmelemm, my thoughts exactly.
LOVE this! I totally understand the hotel comments because it is really chic - but it also looks comfortable & lived in. I love that it has STUFF but doesn't feel cluttered. It feels masculine but not too much (if that makes sense). I love your collection of globes and while I normally like a bit more colour I love how you've kept the palette rather monochromatic but using rich interesting colours (as opposed to all beige!).
Very well done!
(& yay for another Torontonian!)
very candice olson!
this is a really cute condo. the views look amazing. but once the shades are closed, it looks like a great cozy retreat. love the open kitchen to living...great for entertaining!
Gorgeous. Surprised it didn't get more votes, but that may be because it's not on the IKEA/DWR side? Bah. Bah, J&J! Love your place.
Thanks, shanalulu! It's only been up a few hours, so more votes may come!
Oh, PS, Maus, it's an Edilcan building.
I want to move in! It's lovely. The warm colors are really beautiful with the wood finishes.
The layered custom window coverings are fantastic. The itty bitty dining area is great too.
as soon as i saw the corridor-like layout i knew it was a toronto condo. i hate toronto condo layouts soooo sooo much. (it's because they're all new, the old ones are OK).
i like it though!!! can i come over?
Where'd you get the beautiful black chandelier just off the kitchen??
Moving to the T-Dot this summer - getting so inspired to create a new home!
Hey Rebelle - Thanks for asking.
My partner Jeff got the birdcage when he was a kid - He had fond memories of it when we found it in his parents' house, so we brought it home, sprayed it in a high-gloss black and installed an Edison bulb. (It used to be honey-coloured wood and very cat lady frumpy.)
It's nice to showcase things with sentimental value, but you gotta do it your way. We love it.
I also love the striped wall. Paint or Wallpaper?
The whole thing is beautiful by the way.
Thanks, Laura -
It's paint. The whole wall painted in a matte (BM CC530) and then we taped-out the stripes and applied two coats of glossy urethane. Easy breezy!
I love the entire place....and have to agree with Laura, I'm loving the walls. Great Job!
I think the bedroom would be equally as glamorous if the bed was dressed in dark linens instead of white. Or at least a dark throw on the foot of the bed and a dark pillow, in the shade of the drapes or
I like the choice to cary the color scheme throughout the entire apartment. It makes it seems like one cohesive room with numerous parts. Well done!
the eggplant drapes are amazing!
I walk by your building everyday. I'd love to stop by for a cocktail! It's so nice to see so much personality in what can be very cookie cutter condo units. Great job on making your place sophisticated, warm and inviting.
i'm surprised by the amount of flack for the bedroom. i think it's serene. continuing the dark color scheme would make the small bedroom feel cramped. there's something so simple and inviting about white bed linens.
Thanks, quirkyliz - that's what I thought!
I'm big on contrast. I think, when something's decoratively-amiss in a room, it's often a lack of contrast. Sometimes hard to put your finger on, but that might be it!
I think each individual room requires ample contrast, as does the home as a whole. I quite like that our bedroom is so bright and clean, it works as a counter to the heaviness and saturation of the living area.
(And the lighting in our room is lovely, which is hard to tell here. Two marble lamps and a great pendant fixture we found at the Goodwill for $2. It's iridescent and soft and I love that it becomes a focal point at night.)
nice place, guys. love the birdcage, great job. I am awed by the simplicity of INSTALLING YOUR CABINET KNOBS HORIZONTALLY. seriously...can't believe this is the first time i'm seeing this in a real, non-showroom kitchen. it looks great!
A lot of dark colors, but it's far from looking depressed, heavy, or cave like. Also, the horizontal stripes in the living room carry "the look" from nice to sharp!
Lovely home! It's so elegantly curated and assembled. The paint colours, furniture and draperies really make your living area look classy and comfortable at the same time. Thanks for sharing!
GORGEOUS! Can I live here?!
For me it was definitely too hotel looking, but in another way I like that it felt like a mature space.
I thought the dining room table and chairs were great and looked very useable even though you mentioned how small it was.
i am really sorry but i am not a fan of the drapes, they just look a bit too...impersonal? Maybe too formal for every day life?
But great job otherwise!
I didn't mention that they're really a velvet corduroy. Which really cuts the formality. And, considering the amount of fabric I searched through to find it, these babies feel totally personal to me! ;)
On your recommendation....
Looks very nice. Would have been great if photo two, was number one, but its irrelevant at this point. The space is well designed throughout. You successfully took the "cookie" out of "cookie cutter"
Other than photo one (not sure what you're hiding by having the third blind down), the photos are great and I appreciate the clear sense of what and where everything is. For a split second I thought you had a set of Jacobsen "Ant" chairs, which as a friend on mine just told me, were brutally expensive to find.
Well done overall, just not my personal type of style. I'm really into cast iron architecture (brick, beams, corinthian columns, etc) and places like Shellby just posted (something that appears to be in a townhouse) I like places where you can put a 1930's milk and bread basket near the front door and you feel like it belongs, if that makes sense.
Thanks, century - Your comments have been everywhere and I felt left out! Haha.
I submitted number two as number 1! AT edited me!
(The third blind is covering some internet mumbo-jumbo. No dead bodies, I swear.)
Not ant chairs. Just typical bent-wood chairs from some furniture store. They are definitely something to replace, when I find the right combo.
Thanks again for writing.
Sure, my pleasure and I appreciate you taking me seriously, because I can be SERIOUS! Its a really nice place, that I would absolutely live in. Its very cozy and maybe its just me, but its like the dead of summer in NYC right now:) and I'm feeling a little bohemian at the moment, bohemian like a a kingsize mattress on the floor (no frame) over a big amber colored persian rug, with a Wegner wishbone chair off to the side and a light green silk tapestry hanging off its arm. In the background, an 8 foot x 6 foot photo of the godfather. :) My new space is still loft like at a whopping 285sf with 3 massive 8 foot windows and birch hardwood floors in Union Sq. I may still enter, but I'm shopping for a rug at the moment. If I find it, you'll see my place, if not, then maybe another time...
Oh just post it!
Come on!
I can't believe the discrepancy between Toronto and NYC right now, weatherwise. We're normally about the same. It's 10 C and raining. Boo.
(Which makes my cozy, heavy, rich-coloured place feel good. In the summer we just lock it up and go to the cottage.)
i like everything here except the bedroom.
Lovely! My favorites are the striped wall, round mirror and collection of globes--so perfect! :)
LOVE this! I too will soon be moving into a condo with a very similar layout. I love the wall of curtains and the striped wall in the living room. Where did you get the tracks for the curtains, and are the stripes painted, or is it wallpaper??
Hey jmsnyc -
It's paint. The whole wall painted in a matte (BM CC530) and then we taped-out the stripes and applied two coats of glossy urethane.
I'm not sure where our drapes-lady got the hardware.
Online, I think. I can try my best to find out!
Thanks! My partner and I have a very similar furniture layout and honestly were watching Drag Race when we caught up on the posts yesterday. There are definitely a few things that we're going to use for inspiration/steal!
You two must be our NYC Doppelgangers, with your taste and your Drag Racing. God, that show is outrageous. Loves it.
I think it's funny that everyone is hating on the bedroom, because that is probably my favorite part! I am loving white bedding right now... I can see the hotel thing, but mostly just because it looks very "styled." It gives the impression of the inhabitants being interior decorators. Which obviously isn't a bad thing, it's just different from a lot of the other entries and a lot of what you see on AT. I think there is just less of a homey, airy vibe and more of a sophisticated, urban vibe. This is clearly a very well thought out space. Good job, guys!
Impressive, looks incredibly cozy! That round mirror is amazing
love it! just spent lots of money with the shade store, wish i'd known blinds to go can so easily look like a million bucks! also: where is your dining table from?
Fantastic job! I own a condo in T.O. with very similar layout as yours and have struggled with the "pretty yet practical" problem since lack of storage is the number one issue. But your look proves that a small condo can be chic AND realistic all at the same time!
I'm with livc in that I love the bedroom. I also love the living room, dining room, kitchen, all of it. So relaxing yet infused with character and style. Don't change a thing!
Thanks everyone!
livnc, neither of us are interior decorators, but I do love the process. I know to an outside eye it can appear super styled, but we didn't shop a bit of it. All pulled together over many years, many diamonds-in-the-rough antique hunts and thrift-store finds.
ikat73: Blinds to Go is great for certain things! Three blackout blinds in our bedroom only cost $400 and were ready in 48 hours, as they promise. A $40 measurement and installation fee and you're done! Would totally recommend it.
I got the dining table on craigslist. Jamie Kennedy (star chef here in the city) was changing up his cafe (Hank's, on Church Street) and was selling off all the marble-topped bistro tables for - $25!! What a steal. I absolutely love it.
Thanks macmills and unabridged - So nice.
Oh! The round mirror is from EQ3 - really the only thing we bought new at a store. It was $249, is super heavy and great quality.
lovely lovely done :D i may soon be the owner of something just as teeny tiny and i have to say,the place looks as if it was made for me to live in. the colour scheme is brilliant,dark if you consider such small places go wel with light colours,but the final result is just a "thumbs-up"
your place is awesome. I love the striped walls in the living room. I did the same thing to my bedroom in a previous apartment.
Thanks a lot!
Because our place is so small, the windows keep the whole thing quite bright, yet moody at night, so it never feels cavelike or dark at all, even with all the rich colours.
GORGEOUS. And SO comfortable.
