I'd paint the shakes charcoal grey and leave the clapboard red. Having a visual divider between the brick and that shade of red will help, and it won't mean painting the whole house. A stamped conc...
I would play up the asymmetry with inexpensive cove lighting. Build a simple wooden box (in the spirit of your fireplace) that's open on top. Wire fluorescent tubes inside the box. They create a be...
Inspiring, fun, organized! Can I hang out and sew awhile? What I love most about this space is its perfect balance of artfulness and organization. I knew it was designed by a Virgo! It's truly irre...
Clever and resourceful! But at that height, it's hard to see the contents. I'd mount them a little lower. That would also minimize the visibility of the underside, which usually isn't so good-looking.
Living in a place that's cold most of the year, I love it! But I would contrast the masculine stripes with furniture and accessories that are curvy and feminine. Lace drapes with this on the walls....
I'd keep looking. Have you thought about having a piece of carpet bound? You might find it easier to find exactly the right color in carpeting. (The sheen on the rug in the inspiration photo looks ...
What a surprise to see the exterior photo! People must have been shocked when they walked in the door. Every once in a while I notice something in my own house (which I designed) that suddenly remi...
Makes me want to stay awhile. So warm and welcoming. Great use of color, and I LOVE those thick crown moldings. Also like how you handled the drapes in the (attic?) office space. Those angles are a...
Hard to choose for *you*, but I'd go with Maestro for its classic shape and color. It's a pattern with staying power and one that you can accessorize easily for different seasons and decor. Plus, I...
I agree with the idea of darker color on the walls. I'd pull the taupe background color from the rug and go a shade lighter. With all that light it won't make your space look smaller.
Perfect room for a floating desk! Use your runner to conceal cords running from desk to outlet. Switch the blinds to something softer and more inviting, Roman shades or sheer panels. You're lucky t...

Beautiful! Perfect handling of a neutral color palette. It looks so inviting. Love the bath, too. (Hi from Traverse City! Yay, Michigan!)
You might try the Ikea Lunna. I have one. It's tres comfy.

Don't forget the convenience of nesting tables. One table becomes three or four whenever you need them.
I think this creates more problems than it solves... is a tray so difficult?

Creative ideas working with so many restrictions. Nice work! I couldn't handle the "busyness" personally, but it definitely has a lively, homey look.
Beautiful color palettes for Thanksgiving! My dining room walls are already the color of those glasses. It's such a "cocoon" color.

That looks like Jimmy Barrett in the bow tie!
Warm, homey, and organized. Nice work!
