I think many of the posters on here understand mid century modern and how it can be part of a lifestyle. And I think many of them can also appreciate what DWR has to offer. You have the money to ...

Fan of mid century but sorry but it doesn't work for me (I'm the only one!). Pieces are great individually, but they appear to be random in the space - whites, baby blue, marble, animal skin, wood,...

Am I the only one who thinks lamp designs are getting out of control? This is an exposed bulb that happens to be surrounded by wood strips. And didn't we see a lamp the other day that was made of...

Clever idea. But one missing roll would drive me crazy.

Well done. This look (clean, elegant, warm) isn't easy to achieve without becoming too catalog-y or sterile. The color palette and use of different materials (natural wood, exposed brick, brushed...

Explain why you're moving to a place that you don't feel secure. Is it too late to find another place? The scary woods will always be there.

Here are a few ideas. (1) Japanese Maples. One or two on each side. The straight ones instead of the fine leaf weeping ones would look spectacular. Never underestimate the drama o...

Kristen: You love the piece - that's all that really matters. I learned a lot from this post. When I got home I removed the headpiece cushion from my chair. Who knew it was that easy to detach....

Raven makes some good points. I can't completely tell from the picture, but the angle of the seat gives it away for me. It should be more reclined. Check out the angle of the seat on the third p...

If you haven't been to Fallingwater, you really should plan a trip. Absolutely spectacular and magical. Imagine that place on the market.

Now THAT is how to use color. You have to admit - it takes a genius to pull this off.

There were some that I liked, but none that I loved. Until now. Tasteful, clean, functional, non-cookie cutter and small (some of the other places are huge for NYC standards). The privacy curtai...

I like the closet bed, but I don't care for this common look - one accent color throughout the apartment is very predictable, very obvious. This look is the result of shows like David Bromstad's C...

I think Uri needs to change his Brita water filter - H2O looks a little brown. I like that he has style.

I like the deign. But exposed bulbs aren't friendly on the eyes - squint factor.

I know it's drastic and contrdicts rational thought, but I suggest darkening the floors. This will make the furniture and walls stand out - almost floating. And rearrange the furniture. If there...

Have to agree with Gustav - catalogue comes to mind (sorry). But I also agree with some of the others - paint and architecture are great! Enjoy the puppy!

Negative: Living area isn't very welcoming. Think office lobby. Many people make the mistake of putting too many large pieces in a small area. But one large piece like a sectional will anchor the...

Gorgeous. Perfect editing. I would prefer a dining table in that space (e.g., Saarinen) instead of the desk.

LOOOOOOVE IT!
