I totally agree with bepsf that the rainbow arrangement of bud vases is a work of genius. This home has one of the most exceptional uses of colour I've ever seen on AT. Other inspirat...

I love this chunky, industrial, Heath Robinson aesthetic, like the couch seeminly held together with safety strapping, and the galvanised chain on the chandelier, contrasted with ornate gilt-framed...

I've never seen a vintage Eames lounger in anything other than black leather (and by "vintage" I mean prior to the recent explosion in reproductions, ie between 1956 and the '70s). Of course there'...

Short answer: No. Long answer: No. It would look fashionable, in a bad way... as if the piece is some shallow bit of disposable designerware rather than a smart and elegant old couch. ...

The quote on the door is a lot funnier (and rather arch, if you'll excuse the pun) when you know the context in which Camus wrote it: I knew a pure heart who rejected mistrust. He w...

Baby mobile! Actual LOL, Juliescript. I must admit that while I appreciate the idea of a grenade housing as decor in principle, I'm kinda weirded out by the thought of hav...

Sweet merciful crap, RomaineNYC! Save it for your shrink!

Oddly enough my first reaction was, "I wish they hadn't gone with wooden cabinetry." The structure of the barn is so eloquent that I'd be tempted to fill it with steel, plastic and stone furnishing...

Also if ever there was a post that didn't need the royal "we", it's this one.

This is among the stupider AT posts, but I'll bite. A lot of people here seem to be assuming that Abby is refering to a friend in the sense of a buddy, perhaps one visiting from out of...

22 out of 23 Australian cities were "severely unaffordable... leaving one merely "highly unaffordable". Woot! Australia wins! It's funny that the list of World's Most Livable Cities an...

I bet if you jumped back in time to 2005 and told the AT community that in five years we'd all be gushing about pastels, you'd be laughed off the website. How quickly things change. It...

P.S. Don't say "townhome" - it's a tacky neologism of realtors, to make townhouses seem more cuddly and domestic. It's like saying that you keep your chickens in a henhome, or that you signed a pet...

In Australia at the moment it's very fashionable to make fences out of horizontal planks of dark wood, usually with a glossy finish. It looks very modern and sleek, and is a fairly easy DIY, so you...

I love the giant French coin. It suggests that elsewhere in the house there's a vending machine the size of Saskatchewan.

It's a lovely old chair. I'm with the school that says keep it and maybe make a slipcover to tart it up. Then wait until the cat dies of old age, and get the chair professionally recovered. ...

I love the arcade-like pergola; it's an inspired creation that almost forces your outdoor entertaining to be stylish. I'm not as impressed by the pumpkins strewn randomly around the fl...

A well organised closet is a wonderful thing. I've never looked back from buying a dozen interlocking plastic drawer pods and installing them in my built in wardrobe (what we Australians call close...

My instant thought was for white walls and trim with a floor of patterned or tesselated tiles. Those dark tiles are nasty.

It's refreshing to see a vigorous use of purple and hot pink that doesn't come across as girly.
