I agree with zoee that these could be fun in a kids' bath. I don't see them in a powder room or master suite.
You can add whimsy and charm to a bath without upping the kitsch factor...
I've got three of those -- the black crow doormat, 20-taper tabletop candelabrum and crow candles -- on my list of 13 Scary Cool Halloween Decorations, plus 10 more, including a faux-diamond cruste...
Most of my kitchen design clients are very zealous about their counter space. Many also have kids, and lamps on counters would stand a real chance to get knocked over. I think they're a pretty op...
What a fun yellow kitchen! So few cabinet companies offer yellow finishes these days. You either have to go custom or paint old cabinets a new color.
Here are a few thoughts on oth...
I like the new style quite a bit! Congrats on recycling the appliances and for creating an original splash.
I'm looking forward to updating my next kitchen. Here's what I'd choose ...
I love the green and white combo. When I moved into my LA condo, the cabinets were golden oak and the walls white. The wood looked so much prettier when I painted the whole place a soft sage. (M...
That kitchen really does look like a butler's pantry! Here are more tips for small kitchens, from my ongoing Sensible Style series co-published with Kitchens.com:

These are really nice! I especially love the Provence-inspired space.
Labor Day Weekend coming up has gotten me in an outdoor cooking/entertaining mode, so I asked a bunch of my fel...
The paint color isn't the curious detail in my eye. It's the fact that they didn't run the built-ins to the ceiling. Perhaps there's a vent not seen in the pictures? (There are work-arounds for ...
A friend of mine is moving into a new place soon. When I asked her which hue she wanted me to cover next in my Color Notes series, she replied, "Orange." Hope you enjoy the posting as much as she...
I like the orange and gray combo, warm and cool, sweet and sour, you could say.
I wrote a posting today called "Orange Crush" with that pairing, along with a bunch of others, and ton...
I started collecting my favorite pattern -- Wedgwood Oberon -- while I was still happily single. Every time I enjoyed a milestone in life, (e.g., getting my Master's, getting a promotion, etc.), I...
I love built-ins, and I love creating them for clients! Most often, I'll be adding book and media storage in a great room that coordinates with the new kitchen I'm designing.

I'm quite partial to storage-rich kitchens, but this one appears to suffer from one of the 10 Most Common Kitchen Problems -- #2: Inadequate Ventilation. Here's the rest of the list:
I've got blue throughout the entire first floor of my home. You enter to a blue/cream diamond foyer. The drapery tiebacks are blue rope/tassels. The kitchen and hallway floors are blue tile. Th...
Didn't include gray in my Color Notes: A Red-time Story post, (drats!), but love the combo! I've got red with... turquoise, tan, lavender, pale gold and pale green.
What a cool feature! I was in NYC from 6/4 to 6/11. Just missed it, unfortunately. Here are some of the cool things I didn't miss, including hot product releases from Duravit, Sicis and Bosch:

Love the dog bed in the island -- haven't gotten that client request yet. Here are some other Sensible Style kitchen ideas:
