Agas have been discussed in the press over here in the UK recently regarding their eco-(un)friendliness. The spokesperson pointed out that they last several lifetimes and can eventually be recycle...

A beautifully considered, well photographed home. It has the same spirit as a previously featured home in London (did it belong to an artist named Hugh?). Thank you for sharing.

JoanneM Bravo. And I second that with a loathing of 'heart', I believe meaning 'love' ("I heart that sofa" etc.). When did heart become a verb?

Living in a basement flat, I'm very envious of all your natural light. The same limited colour palette throughout is very effective - it makes the space seem cohesive and spacious. The only eleme...

I've noticed the Expedits in a few design books/magazines/architect's portfolios recently. So now it's becoming iconic...

Very well composed, good lighting, and nicely photographed. This seems very harmonious and not reliant on lots of bright colour or feature items of furniture. When I first looked at the photos I ...

First pic is excellent - the colour, pattern and floor-to-ceiling length are all spot on. But the second one...??!!

MrCranky Yes! The word 'minimalism' is so often used inappropriately. I like the aesthetic of this apartment. Best of luck with your kitchen renovation - please submit t...

But wait, it's not April 1st yet....

Birds need to get smarter and realise they could have a nice waterproof nest in there.

I'd think the pots and utensils would get greasy. Those are Kartell Componibli tables, no? Or did Ikea 'take inspiration from' those too?

I agree with arroyo - the fixtures are original art deco and look fabulous. Much more interesting than modern stuff. Could you come to love them? Obviously eventually get rid of the non-original ...

And beautiful photography. I'm wondering about the description as 'rustic', as that would be quite a different style over here in the UK. Is it because of the style of the antique pie...

I've had roller blinds in a bedroom before and they looked great but were awful if the window was open - air movement would suck them into the window recess or the bottom bar would keep knocking ag...

Same arguments over here in the UK. Many planning departments are now actively encouraging modern designs to avoid pastiche, but there's still lots of opposition to this approach. My local area h...

If you're looking at blinds that attach to the doors themselves, check how flush they sit against the doors and consider how much light would get through the gap. And whether wooden blinds would r...

I've used fabric panels attached with velcro (along the top only). Sticky backed piece on the door, then the other piece sewn onto the fabric. Obviously just take care whether you use fabric or pa...

The blue is great. Paint the rectangular mouldings and skirting board (baseboard where you are?) the same colour and get some lamps to highlight the mouldings rather than using the white.

It's not clear to me whether JyoJyo is debating whether the globe is actually warming at all, or just whether man's activities are causing/exacerbating the problem. These are two separate arguments...
