S&W Alabaster. It's the perfect not-white white.

I put a few stamped postcards on the desk, usually kitschy ones that show local attractions. Who doesn't enjoy getting a real postcard these days?

I would use the angled window wall as the "orienting" wall and place a sofa facing and parallel to the window. This will make the triangular corner seem more a part of the room, no matter what you ...

I wonder what foreign visitors to America bring home from their travels?

This brings back memories of my rural upbringing. When I wanted a longer closet rod, my dad and I drove into the woods and cut a straight poplar sapling, peeled it, and installed it! I was pretty e...

While I agree with the opinion that you shouldn't match art to a space or vice versa, I think that it is important to complement the art, give it a space where it looks like it belongs. I think if ...

Harmonious palette, natural light, and layers... love it!

Masterful layering and handling of color. This is a standout.

If it's more like a dye than a paint, I'd try it. Paint would be way too crunchy.

You actually have quite a bit of space for the pieces you have. Here's how I would do it. Dining area: Keep it simple and center your table and chairs. If you require office space, set...

I'd have a carpenter build a long, low bench with bookshelves underneath. Cushion on top, some pillows against the wall that juts out, perfect reading nook that doesn't interfere with your mural.

Those chairs are ugly enough without a writing desk attached. I will never understand the love of the shell chair. But I will take the dog.

I'd paint the brick charcoal grey and add a thick slab of a mantel in a heavily grained wood like ash for textural contrast. Wrap the mantel around the sides, or make it asymmetrical: start it at t...

A palette after my own heart. Love this!

Beautiful.

My favorite so far. Nice layout.

Stoves look like Rais made in Denmark (rais.com). Want one. There's a lot to love here. I'd prefer a bit of subtle color inside.

Painting an accent wall will break up the beige, and the area rug suggestion is a good one. Go for something bold and attention-getting. You're a fan of Candace Olsen—she is a l...

I like the successful blending fo second-hand pieces even though the space is not one I'd enjoy living in. And love her fashion sense! Just wondering when this kitsch-as-cool art trend is going to ...

I'm guessing if this worked there wouldn't be such a market for the AeroGarden. I have never had luck growing herbs indoors in the winter, even in the sunniest window. There simply isn't enough lig...
