FYI: The 1st image with tall vase IS a buffet. Note the plates on the chair. So it makes sense to have a large display... I am setting up my buffet table around a large 70s hand-made c...

When we renovated our kitchen 6 years ago, we put in a 1950s O'Keefe and Merritt stove with 1 oven, a grillevator (broiler), and a griddle. We love it! But here a few considerations for you: ...

Oh, and I'd do it glossy. Like a lacquer.

Definitely a rich, dark color. Beyond that, it is really your personal preference. When I saw the photos, I immediately thought of a turquoise or a deep peacock blue. Blue is underappr...

Oh yes, put a large lacquer tray on the ottoman. It know it is kind of cliched, but it is functional and will also help "tone down" all those leather surfaces. Use the throw on your chair.

Oh, matching leather furniture. It's like "History of Leather" part III. You must do something to break up the overwhelming sense of being trapped in a tannery. If the rest of your ho...

I am usually more casual when I entertain, so these are a bit fussy for me (though nice). I really like the containers used for aguas frescas:

It does work. I have a loveseat (with arms) with a round table in my dining room. The seat height is right, so that helps. We love to lounge on the loveseat with the paper on weekends. (EVERYONE wa...

Oh, and the salt and pepper set looks a lot like La Gardo Tackett's Egghead condom holders, which were sold thru Playboy in the 1950s.

The butter dish is perfect for all those people who feel they must remove their shoes before entering the house. I almost wish I knew one of those people... I'd buy them this for christmas.

Exactly... traditional without being Ye Olde. That says it all. Very nice. Love the orange coffee table/kiddie table.

Several problems here: ---Your photos don't really show much. The fireplace is barely visible. Same for the hearth. ---Your paint, trim and wallpaper bear no relation to t...

As a general rule, I don't wear shoes inside. Trading shoes for slippers at the door is a way of signaling the transition from public to private. For me it is mostly about comfort, but I do appreci...

This is fabulous (and the video is cool, too). It looks almost like sequins.

I like the color combination very much, and also the fact that your ceiling is not white. Nice.

This is really nicely done. And notably, not overdone. Just right.

This is amazing!

Oops. Keep your TV in the same place.... my misteak.

This is a nice space and you have some nice things; it just needs a some tweaking to look great. The hallway effect is emphasized by the fact that your living room furniture is lined up against the...

Great daybed, and much too nice to use outdoors! You cannot make this weatherproof. You can, under the right circumstances, make it more weather RESISTANT. But over time, it will degrade if kept ou...
