I agree with the above statements about folk artistry, as well as those about the giant Jesus. I like the murals, and even most of the religious art, especially the nude and the bathtub Buddha.

Love love love the Burke dinette set with those drapes. More Mod, Please! :D

Add me to the list of folks who adore the bathroom tile. It's lovely and artsy, but also quite accessible. Nice work! :)

I admire the use of the card catalog cabinet in the dining room, and of course the photography is stunning! Overall though, I must say that the utter lack of color makes me dreary.

Amy, the colorizing of the Pez collection is the most amazing thing I've seen in a long time. Kudos to you for making these difficult-to-display collectibles a major design element! ...

Oooh, I'd love to see an update with photos of this fireplace. I'm glad folks were able to talk you out of painting that slate! I'm not 100% opposed to painting brick or other architectural featu...

Anyone can take care of snake plants, AKA cast iron plants. They thrive on neglect. No excuse for not having at least one plant when this is such an easily available option! :)

I dig the subway and penny tiles, and kudos for choosing an unusual color for them! I personally would've put a door or curtain to protect the shelves from view and from water, but that's just me...

I absolutely love the teal and beige together. It's not entirely dissimilar to the color scheme in my living room! Well done! :)

Nice work! I've been kicking around the idea of designing one of these for a while, and now you've done all the experimenting for us! Now I really have no excuse for not making one.

I agree with Squirrely. It looks cluttered and I expect you'll have to wash the dust off of every item when it comes time to use it. Installing a cabinet or even shelves in this space would be a ...

I got three large, 2'x4' canvases and painted them solid colors to match my very mod drapes. They look like giant pixels, as they are green, blue, and red. I love them!

I absolutely love the floor. I think when we add a master bath to our house (years from now, sadly) I will try to convince my partner that we need to do the black and white. I love it! :)
