The matchbook collage is stunning.

What a beautiful home! I especially love the colors in the living room--so cheerful but still elegant and sophisticated. Kelly green just makes me giddy.

Katzamboni, that story is so cute (and hysterical). Well, I knew something was wrong with me when I saw "Sleeping With the Enemy" in the theater. When the husband's OCD kitchen cabinet organizati...

Thanks bostonkayla for the info about the runner!

Love your art (both here and on your website). It's stunning!

Cute room! I'd consider a geometric print like Madeline Weinrib's stripes, zigzags, etc. They're whimsical enough to add some femininity but not frilly.

Seems silly to fixate on such a small detail, but does anyone know where I can get the white table runner? Thanks.

Also, just want to note that I have this same gray living room color in my apartment and it looks much, much darker in my (light-challenged) space. I also have the lighter color on the swatch, Aba...

I love this apartment, and am amazed by how HUGE it looks. It has just enough "stuff" without ever seeming cluttered.

Can't please everyone, I guess. I think the fact they're trying to switch it up to modern is in itself kind of interesting, and I wonder what the whole selection process was like, who they consult...

I was just thinking the same thing about that ad. It's giving me motion sickness, and it won't stop. As for white, I love it. It's a color I don't see a lot of in "nature," which in my case is u...

I vote storm troopers too. If your main concern with those is that the area doesn't look inviting, there are other ways to cozy up the space without changing chairs. More art on that wall, maybe ...

Lovely. I have a feeling this is going to attract a lot of "Boring" comments, but this kind of soft, neutral palette is totally my style, and the bones of the house are beautiful. The lamp in the...

I've had the same problem. The tub mat gets soaking wet, and I feel bad that the maid has to mop up the flood. That said, I prefer it to shower curtains, although that's because I'm a little OCD ...

Sesame oil. It's the best flavor ever in stir-fries. I've heard some people warn that you shouldn't cook it, but I've never had a problem with it. My favorite stir fry sauce is equal parts soy a...

Ditto on the great ideas by asdf3001. It looks from the pics like the cabinet and shelves in the dining area are a little empty. Is it possible you can consolidate all the stuff so you need less ...

This may be my favorite entry yet. There's such a great balance between the brights and whites. The neatness and orderliness of the room also balances against the intense color. Too much stuff c...

This is homey and cute but also refined. I love the texture combination of the quilt on the leather couch. Some curtains would balance and elevate the room even more (maybe in a rich blue/gray to...

I've seen this in a few homes but never in NYC (my home). I've seen Klimt's Kiss, Picasso Blue Period posters, the Sandeman poster, and Hopper's Nighthawks in many many apartments over the years. ...

Beautiful. Can someone explain to me how the living room manages to be warm and interesting even though it has no real color other than the yellow pillow? I have similar color walls but a darker ...
