We love our "big board" and had it made for about $75.00. The frame is trim from Home Depot painted with Ralph Lauren gold paint.

I had a very hard time with brown. I wanted something like a camel's hair coat and got baby poop - I finally gave up (three samples) and painted the living room a coffee-with-milk shade.

I haven't read all 64 comments but I'd paint the lower cabinets and do open shelves on the uppers - it opens the space visually and seems less oppressive in a small kitchen. You might be able...

Hey! thanks for the inspiration...those look great.

There's always a tablecloth!

I'd rather carry a key...I'm sorry but that lock is not attractive to me.

I think this kind of look is much more difficult to pull off than staunch minimalism and like this room. I also have a feeling that the paint is richer IRL.

I like my utilitarian objects to be a little less design-y. Maybe it's me, but I don't think a toilet deserves this much attention.

I'm looking forward to checking it out! How is it that I went, with a list to Blood Bath and Beyond and was unable to purchase several items?

Rules schmules (though they are always good to know), it's the linens in this post that I love!

I like the doilies hanging in the window - but in my house? They'd look like a bunch of doilies hanging in a window.

I agree with the list- it's not a very imaginative list but for basic must-haves it's not bad.

We've done the same decorations at our house - and last year we TP'd our own home. Well done....

Nice post.

Thanks for the inspiration. I've just started a new job and realized, after reading this, that I don't have to bring things into my office - I need to take things OUT of my new office.

Too industrial for me - and I've got three boys...and what about the resale value?

I love that fence too. I live in fear of a neighbor putting up one of those shiny white plastic fences.

Must every inch of my home be a possible design site?

I'm sure that mat will be very popular at my neighborhood yoga studio...the one with the Yoga Cafe and the Yoga Jewelry Boutique and the Yoga Clothing Shop...because yoga is all about buying stuff.
