A bit too rustic for my taste ... besides, I'd never make it off the sofa and chairs ...

I do love the "idea" of lofts! When I was based in New Orleans, I mostly lived in apartments in the Garden District, but was very drawn to the loft condos being converted in vast old warehouses downtown. I love brick walls, quirky mezzanines, arching spaces, vintage architectural elements, and most of all, oversize windows letting in all that light.

A friend and I used to tour them, and I remember wistfully gazing out of the huge windows of one (very like the one in your photo, @lolakimono), and wistfully thinking, what if....

Like lofts for space and openness, but this loft is too dark for me.

Recently moved to a updated coop apt that has an opened floorplan and has light (or white) accents thoughout. I am LOVING it!

There is no railing for the steep stairs. yikes!

Also, I don't care for the glass divider in the kitchen.

Other than that it's ok.

I love the look. DH and I could live here but I’d like window coverings at night. The boys (cats) would have a heyday on the stairs.

I love this space! That sofa looks so comfy that I'd spend half my day napping there. haha

I do like the idea, but not loving the odd light fixture or handing up stairs

I've yet to see a picture of a loft that has practical steps and handrails.

I like the idea, but the furniture needs to be changed.

Rather stark. Doesn't feel cozy to me.

Nope, living like that is definitely not my style.

I hate it. There is nowhere to go or to have privacy.

Love the windows and airy spaces. With different decorating, it could be fabulous.

I love the concept but not how this one is decorated.

I would have loved living there when I was young, but not now as a senior. I like the openess and many options for decorating.

Part of it is ok, but I want a bathroom on the same floor as my bedroom. I don’t want to have schlep downstairs in the middle of the night to use the restroom. Especially with no handrails.
