I love the fact that this home incorporates mid-century elements without becoming the cliche that so many American homes become. You can see that the owners are confident in their design and art ch...

The darker ceiling looks good in the rooms shown... not sure how it would look in your typical modern tract home with 8 foot ceilings...

Hi Jessica, one other question about the ceiling fixture. Are the pendants acrylic plastic or paper? What I really like about your place is that you also have some real bold art on the...

Beautiful! Where is the ceiling light fixture in the bedroom from?

Very fresh and personal. I really like it. The only thought I have is that in terms of environmentalism, etc., she could reduce the amount of objects by about 1/3rd and also do the world some good,...

Nah...I agree with your first impulse. It looks too big for the space.

Yes, I think the vintage collections really work because the homeowner has kept the big picture in mind, with respect to the use of color and line. I think that's definitely the artist coming out. ...

I like the kitchen except for all those lights, which look messy and disturbing. No, recessed lights are not true to the period of the house, but if remaining true to the period of the house is the...

Avoid the taupe, neutral color and do the green in the rug, or an accent wall of the orange in the rug.

I love the art. The living room and dining room, however, feel off-kilter. I agree with another commenter that there seems to be a lot of potential here that's not being met.

I love the bathroom. I'm not feeling the fluorescent light panel in the hallway, though...

I agree with the other commenter about the wall-to-wall carpet which kind of detracts. I think the owners might check out Darryl Carter's book "The New Traditional" for a more inspiring take on a t...

Is it just me, or are some of these rooms overdoing it a bit with "things." He could get rid of half the doo-dads in the living room and the room would seem more cohesive and dramatic.

I can't put my finger on it, but this home is missing something. One step forward might be investing in real pieces of art.

I would argue that a corner unit would give you MORE privacy, not less, since I don't think having an abutting neighbor on both sides is a great definition of privacy.

Art, art, art!

Can't wait to see art on the walls. Bare walls and beige couches make me nervous!

You know, I live in a 100-year-old building and when we moved in, I immediately wanted to paint the cabinets, which were new but plain old oak and not as high end as yours. We decided not to do it,...
