I am not a big fan of this year's design styles, probably because I am too Heisted by Colin & Justin! There are only a few spots here and there worth commenting.
I like the faux-windows/light boxes next to the fireplace. Colin and Justin made similar arrangements for a basement with very limited natural lighting. 
This is another trick I learnt from last night's C&J episode. By pushing the moulding around the wall taller than half wall (e.g. 5 ft), it makes the ceiling looks so much higher. 
Instead of shower curtain, glass sliding door makes a small bathroom so much more spacious. I might just do the same for one of the smaller ensuites in the new house. My only concern is that by doing so, it makes the shower very utilitarian, but it does lose that spa-comfort-soothing touch.
