loft living


The first time I set foot in a loft was when I was living in Chicago and working in advertising--I was stopping by a co-workers place and was both amazed and baffled by the open space. I remember not quite knowing if I loved or hated them. However, I have to say that the high ceilings and abundant natural light have definitely won me over!

What is your take on the loft?

wow... the high ceilings looks amazing.. and the sunlight takes your breathe away.. Lovely pics!
Living in a loft would definitely take some special planning in terms of finding the right way to decorate- but the trade off- all that space- would definitely be worth it!

There's something so appealing to me about one large living space. I've always secretly dreamed of owning an A-frame home that's one grand space.

SWOON! I LOVE big wide open spaces with huge a** windows! love it. want it.
I like lofts because of the space but it is tricky to design them so it appears developed but not just full of stuff. I think the second picture loft is stunning but I would like to see it more developed. The mirror over the fireplace is wonderful with the arched window openings.

i've always dreamed about living in a loft ... one day!
I've always loved lofts. I think it can be overwhelming at first from a decorating standpoint but I think I could deal with it for the chance to live in one!

I love lofts but don't know if I could deal with not having a backyard - I love my chihuahuas too much!

LOVE IT! The ceilings, the windows, the brick, the open space, the view, the light, LOVE IT ALL! Having a secluded bedroom would be the icing on the cake!

Wouldn't it be fun to be able to really put a room where ever you want it in such an open space rather than where the walls have been pre-set!

I adore the oval mirror over the fireplace. Fantastic!

I wouldn't give it a second thought. If I lived in the city, I'd live in one in a second! Love!

I live in a loft and I love it but I also hate working with the tall walls. (22') I don't know if I can ever go back to normal height walls though. Great inspiration!

I could move right into that last loft. Husband and I thought it would be so fun minus the kiddos though;)
