Wow. What an incredibly beautiful space. So many people are obsessed with large spaces in this country, and I think this is a prime example of how a small space can be functional and beautiful all ...

If the options are between white and ivory, I think a warm ivory would be the way to go. It would be a lot warmer, more welcoming, and comfortable than white in that space. However, I ...

Here are some potentials from West Elm: http://tinyurl.com/3d8tk2 http://tinyurl.com/cxcv4c ...

Wow. What a beautiful outdoor space. I'm totally jealous. Although, I'm with bcthree. I would be really worried about how the rug will stand up to the elements. It seems like it would ...

For practicality? Brilliant. For aesthetics? Meh.

Hearing the birds chirp in the mornings. A washer and dryer in my unit (!!!!). Staring out into beautiful Oregon forest, but living only one block away from downtown.

I recently bought this mailholder from Storables: http://tinyurl.com/cq9opb While it's not nearly as pretty as the others, it is oh...

I'd have to say that I'm on the other end of the spectrum, bebsf. Although I prefer the look of hardwoods, I prefer carpeting, as the dust bunnies aren't so atrocious with carpeting. You can vacuum...

I don't know that I'd call any of these things "classics." More like, "advertising" or "PR."

Love. Love. Love.

I agree 1GH. They're beautiful, but not what I would consider "eclectic" or something an educated amateur DIYer couldn't put together alone.

I'm with you Lily. I have my doubts, but I think under the right circumstances it could be beautiful. Honestly, I think the plywood wall in the picture is beautiful. That being said, ...

Make that a day bed, a hidden roll-out mattress, and an air mattress would make up enough sleeping spaces for a family of four.

You can also slide a mattress under the daybed if it's tall enough. When I was younger, my family and I would visit some relatives in Naples, Fl. They had very little room in their house, so my cou...

This is BEAUTIFUL. Normally, I'm not really drawn to neutral color palettes, but this is nothing short of stunning. Thank you for sharing!

I wouldn't pay 14 mil, but I would probably pay up to 11 or 12 million. I live in Portland, so it's hard for me to gauge what that place would be worth in terms of the San Francisco ma...

I don't think these questions are mutually exclusive. For me, I love the idea of a tub in the middle of a room. But I hate the idea of a shower.

My mom bought me velvet hangers a few years ago, thinking that they fit perfectly into my Type-A organization habits. I didn't really like them. I think they make it harder to put clothes on the ha...
