In addition to the nice, higher-end design stores mentioned here -- I've had some terrible times going to big-franchise, commission furniture stores (think "Levitz" and the like). As soon as I wal...

In general, I take my shoes off pretty quickly upon entering my house, but I'm not strict about it. Parties are another story: I have a small foyer/entryway, and confess that I find it pretty ann...

Oh my god. I could write an essay myself on this topic. My daughter has had a big fear of these ever since she was about 3, and didn't weigh enough for the sensor, so it would flush while she was ...

Commenting that PS is in the middle of nowhere indicates to me that either you've been there & hate it, or just don't know Southern California geography (or real estate). Beautiful ho...

This is just a little much for the space, for me. I'm wondering how relaxing it will be when the child is older and in need of some down time. I do like the combinations here, but all the accessor...

I would suggest trying to visit in the early or mid-afternoon. This is sometimes a period of relative calm -- remember, newborns sleep a lot during the day. Early evening or night time is when thin...

Gosh, so much potential in that first picture. I love it...so relaxing. The other shots are just too-tight on your details, and don't say enough to me about the room or rooms you live in.

Love this! I smiled at the first photo, and kept on smiling...

Too much, too much. The purple, the metal chairs... I do like the orange against the turquoise kitchen wall, and it's clear you've had a lot of fun decorating your home.

That first picture...wow, wow, wow. But. Having kids myself who love to destroy my baseboards w/ their moving toys, I look at the trikes, and that wall of lamps, and wonder how this can possibly wo...

Ah! Thank you, Anne. Guess I should've read the entry a little closer the first time.

I like this home, overall. Not really feeling the textured or faux treatment of the dark gray paint, but I like the color against the orange poster. I'm getting a little weary of all these tight sh...

Liking this a whole lot, but feeling a bit cranky about those extra 2 shots. No fair! (Not the fault of the submitter, I don't think?)

Wowza! Love it. It's a bit much for me to be able to live in, but I admire the layering of textures & colors. Really love that ceramic white & orange lamp. I was a bit distracted by that very la...

This is a lovely home, but looks a little neutral for the contest. Also, I can't help but think that it must seem awfully chilly to live here during those Michigan winters.

That first photo is certainly arresting, but I'm sorry to say I'm just not feeling it, overall. Also, when I see a couch with that many big pillows, I can't help but think I'd have to chuck all but...

Love it, but I'm trying hard to focus on the use of color and not be overly influenced by all that fabulous furniture. That dining room table...*sigh*.

I think it's probably true for all diehard bookworms like myself that the book itself is part of the pleasure, and I wouldn't want to lose that tactile experience. Curling up in bed on a rainy nigh...

Soothing and calm, overall. That bedroom artwork is up WAY high though -- reason? And the rug at the foot of the stairs looks like a bad thing waiting to happen, but then again, I pretty clutzy.
