That's great, if you have the space.....

I would say I regret watching it, but then I would have been curious about what I missed (which was nothing).

I rarely peel anything unless appearance really matters or the peel is really tough.

I kinda like the second one, but probably only because it's a reddiish-orange. I tend not to like orange, but I think the problem here isn't the color as much as where it's used (cabinets) and the...

Sorry forgot to add, ideally you don't want to "notice" the sofa so much -- textures, darker colors, different finishes, can all aid this, and help to BALANCE the room. That's really the key, bala...

I concur wholeheartedly with marissachristy - either paint it darker to "cozy it up" and/or break up the black mass with lots of lighter, whiter, colored pillows and different textures (love the Ro...

I'm sorry, but you don't use your laddle(s) but you do use your pizza cutter? And you use a measuring cup instead?! I make large pizza's often and would never think of using anything but my large...

I was so aghast at both rooms that I didn't even notice the dogs. Having said that, the Ikea/fake room is multiple orders of magnitude more hideous and instantly id'ed.

Sorry, these look like smoggy, dirty, ghetto east LA photos from the 70's. Did SF ever REALLY look like that? It literally seems like an LA aesthetic pasted onto SF. It works very well for LA, b...

Wow, I just checked out Howards site, very nice stuff, not exactly my style, but she's talented for sure.

It looks like a more sophisticated Jonathan Adler - try his shop.

Not bad for what it is although the scale of some of the items is off.

I forgot to add, my partner grew up in Japan in a 600sf apartment in a family of 4, or about 150 sf each. In the 1970's it was apparently considered quite luxurious in terms of space.

Laughable price, but 175sf? No problem with a good floorplan. I've lived quite comfortably having 5 person dinner parties, in 2 different studio apartments that were 173 and 136 sf respectively. ...

Thank you Cupajo, Whole Foods is waaaaaay overrated IMHO. I guess it's a better alternative to Safeway if you live in the burbs, but if you don't, I bet there are some area markets that are better...

I'm not a fan of solid colored, especially primary colored, sofas, so I have to ask why are you decorating around that Sears masterpiece? If money is that much of an object, paint the apartement o...

A family of 4 in the Japanese urbanized hinterlands lives in 550 square feet if they're "well-to-do." My partner grew up in such a place in Fukuoka. Our notions of size and personal space are ver...

Agreed, the library nook is amazing. The place isn't my style, but it's clear that this is a talented designer with creative clients.

Love the moldings and place overall, but the entry is really wanting - walking through a plain ole regular door, right into a modern-ish kitchen, only to then realize the amazing ceiling height and...
