Wow, this place is amazing! Every room is fascinating. The front door looks so authentically period-correct, great job! I also love that Brazilla bureau. I hope you will post photos of your k...

I'm surprised no one has commented on the very cool media storage unit, with the wooden shelves and metal cabinets. It looks great! Can you tell us where it's from?

I'm always amazed when people who live in great cities and have access to super-cool stuff end up furnishing their places with the same bland, poorly-made crap from big chain stores that people in ...

This place is poetic and charming. I would move in in a heartbeat (and start learning how to play guitar, or maybe didgeridoo) I disagree completely that this place has no color or creativity...

Oy, those old-lady sofas with skirts in the Oval Office... where was W's macho persona when those things were picked out? The U.S. has produced some of Modernism's superstars... why is...

Thomas, I admire your courage in painting a small-ish space a rich, dark color. It looks really nice and inviting and so much better than the off-white walls you probably started with. Person...

If this trend for mid-mod reproductions help wean the style-challenged away from the faux "farmhouse" look we've been drowing in since the 90s, I say BRAVO!

Why don't you find out his favorite football team and buy a bunch of team memorabilia? Just kidding! Seriously, here is my real suggestion: you can find vaguely "tribal" bathroom rugs a...

BH&G is hugely profitable in terms of ad dollars and I think that's what the award is based on... it is coming from Ad Age, after all, not a design organization or journalism group. BTW, don'...

I thought DWR's Bantam sofa was very cool-looking in photos... and then I saw the real thing in a store. The top horizontal seam/edge of the seat (where your inside knees would be if you were sitti...

Wall-to-wall carpet is the scurge of so many otherwise-okay places. Why are people still using it? A few months after you put it down it starts getting dirty and worn-out looking. Then it's this gr...

Hi Erica I have the same chair. It took me a couple of years to track down, but the designer is Carlo di Carli, who designed furniture in Italy in the 1950s. He's often compared to (and mis-i...

The one time I bought something at the Soho Modernica the sales guy couldn't have been nicer. It was a very cool store and I'll miss it... maybe the vicitim of super-high rents in Soho?

These look like Donald Trump's casino's in Atlantic City.

There is quite an outpouring of emotion here regarding the joys and sorrows of laundry... Regarding the etiquette of pulling someone's stuff out of a machine: I live in an apt. building with ...

I'm surprised how many negative votes this received because I think its simplicity and minimalism make it really appealing and inviting. A lot of the places on this site have this self-consciously ...

Ron, this place is amazing! I'm wondering how you took the photo on your site that is a straight-on shot of the big mirror above your danish modern cabinet... with no one's reflection in the mirror...

That tile design rocks and the ceiling light is super-cool. I love everything in this room. I think the Shaker-style cabinets look timeless and can work well in a modern setting.

Pinkadelic! Passion Pit! Barbie on Ecstacy! Something tells me Rosie is having a whole lot more fun than I am... ;-) I love this place! You should send a photo of your "lip...
