Yikes--this is the most horrible sofa I've ever seen.

I'm in the process of removing the carpet in my apt. to get to the hardwood floors underneath. (BTW, there's something so cathartic about ripping up this beige rental carpet and yanking out the na...

I just love this house. I adore how you've mixed old and newer things, without making the place seem "trendy" in the least. I'm going to try to adopt some of the elements of simplicity that it us...

Melissa, Do/would you sell copies of any of these prints? (I couldn't find a way to contact you on your blog.)

I love the colors! And that painting (poster? I can't quite tell) in the kitchen is wonderful! Who is the artist?

I think I might go ahead and decorate my place '90s style, so I'll be ahead of the curve. Wait--my place is already '90s.

Love the sofa! Where is it from, please?

I like the sofa--where's it from? Great style in the house!

Because I'm also opposed to bath rugs, I like the suggestion to get something that can hang over the tub, and then be put down when someone takes a shower. Otherwise, you'll have to put your feet ...

Could you give the name of the white paint in the living room (on and above the fireplace)? It's a nice shade--doesn't look like a pure white.

Tacky. No pun intended.

This looks like the poster... http://designmuseumshop.com/catalogue/posters-prints/valentine-poster

Can anyone recommend a nice near-white color that works with NYC light? When I moved into my current apartment, the walls alternated between mustard yellow and poopy brown. I painted the living ...

Lovely! Would you mind sharing where you got the great basket on the floor?
