Ahh, gotta love living in a city where the average home price is above half a million. It really allows for a mediocrity in apartments and homes that is unrivaled. So this is what I'm starting out with folks. Near future plans in the Bedroom include: Window treatments, replacing our cheap just-until-the-dog-sleeps-on-his-own-bed-duvet and linens with the nice ones packed in the linen closet, using my husbands ratty dresser as firewood and replacing it with a beautiful mirrored one, possibly upholstering the walls in a non-permanent way. Near future plans in the bathroom: Paint, constructing a shade to go over the Hollywood trailer lighting, framing out the gigronomous mirror, added artwork, and perhaps seagrass or jute to cover the icky poo linoleum. What I am going for is kind of a James Bond feeling in the bathroom. Read: English & Exotic; not Kitschy or Themey.
If you have any genius ideas that spring to mind when you see my forlorn apartment let me know!

The "bones" of your bathroom are not bad at all. I think if you paint the walls and add some larger artwork/photos on the wall opposite the sink, that would look great. The English/Exotic look sounds fab. I love your John Derian pieces in the bedroom, and the blue upholstered Louis chair. Have you thought about getting a higher, upholstered headboard to take up some space on that wall?
Oh I am soooo loving that you thought those were John Derian I found them at this little florist/girft shop they are melamine or plastic and cost 14$. When I saw them I thought the same thing though and was really jazzed about them being 1)super cheap 2) practically un-breakable.
As far as the bed goes I may forgo the box springs under the mattress to show more of the head board. but I don't know where we would keep it and then I don't know if I would regret chucking it all together. Once we move to a two bedroom I plan on moving that bed into what will be the nursery/guest room (whichever comes first) and getting a wispy canopy bed for us ( like the italian campaign one at anthro).
And thanks for the advice :). I will update as it evolves.
Very smart about the bed! Please keep us updated b/c I know it will look great. And good job on the "John Derian-esque" pieces!
