I second the Home Decorators Collection map chest. I have one of the narrow one. I love it! I've lined the drawers with velvet. Jewelry organization trays tuck nicely in. I can see everything l...

I'm not really loving the green. What about a deep violet blue? I remember seeing the pink-violet combo on a house in London's Notthing Hill and loved it.

That looks close to what I just painted my kitchen, which is Benjamin Moore's Fiji (from the Affinity palette).

I had a similar dresser in the kitchen in my old place, which had terrible cabinet space. The dresser was great for storing table linens, pots and pans, and canned goods.

What a wonderful house! It's so full of life and personality. Please thank her for sharing it with us.

Option #1: Keep the table as is and get a white chair or something striped. Option #2: Paint the table white and get a cafe au lait or pale tan chair Use the orange for ac...

If you're considering a West Elm purchase, I'd definitely go check out the store. I was in there a few weeks ago and I was shocked at how shoddy some of the furniture looks. Many of the fabrics h...

I love how you've worked with the bones and vibe of the space rather than try to force a particular style. The choices are spectacular, particularly the blue.

This space is spectacular -- my favorite by far! The color makes this place sing.

I love the color palette and the contrast of color against the white, but like many others, my love faded when I saw the Mao painting. It's a choice that sours the positive vibe of the apartment.

I think it's sophisticated too. The use of color is superb, as is the use of texture. The owner decluttered before taking pictures. I don't think that should be held against him.

I absolutely love this apartment. It's sophisticated, yet welcoming. It also shows that using color doesn't have to be about painting something bold. There's energy in subtle too.

A cafe au lait or warm taupe would look nice with the brown and the blue. If you do an icy blue, I would make sure it was on the warm side.

I used Great Scott in July. I couldn't have been happier. They were punctual, treated my stuff with great care, and were just good guys. The estimate was dead on.

I ordered a shower curtain from her shop and the quality and colors are spectacular.

I lived in a basement apartment for 10 years with natural light much like the place you have. The most important thing is to move light around. I'd suggest painting a lighter or brighter color and...

I did it before when the dryer in my building was broken for an extended period of time. Don't send anything that can't go in the dryer!! It's great for sheets and towels. There's also something...

I have a paint question . . . If the walls are eggshell, the trim is semi-gloss, then should the doors (to closets, bathroom, etc.) be flat or eggshell?

I think that when art is part of the story of your life, it's all the more meaningful. I have a set of six small engravings of British Army officers in thin black frames. I love them. They are w...

I'm moving into a new condo. I've spent the week up to my eyeballs in paint. This chair would make my living room divine. I promise, I'd provide pictures too!
