And another thing - I have to disagree with LivC on her biggest complaint. Since when was it a crime to have beautiful objects in your home that are not highly functional? Isn't this what accessori...
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this home. I totally second the comments of cizinka31000. This is the vision of someone with a sense of individuality and courage, and I for one would love to stay in a guest room ...
Most of my inspiration comes from magazines and blogs, but by far, my favourite design book is Best Ugly by the NYC firm Avroko. As a commercial designer, I can't get enough of their high concept, ...
It is a daily struggle. Trying to balance a career, a social life and a moderately maintained home can be trying when you don't have a roommate or partner helping out. When I'm very busy (ie. runni...
There was this teeny tiny little Eastern European resto that only served 3 dishes; goulash, the best veal parmesan I have ever had, and the ABSOLUTE GREATEST chicken noodle soup with spaetzle. I ha...
I own very little of any value, and am an obsessive costume jewelry collector so I have basically dedicated a corner of my room to the jewelry shrine. I have an old beat up wood shelf on a vanity w...

Oh, your comments warm the cockles of my heart. This really is the most magical kitchen I've ever had the pleasure to cook in. During the day (when its warm out at least) I open the windows and doo...

The paint came from Home Depot - they actually have a wonderful "house" palette that I have used for years in my own apartments. Lots of gradients of the same hue.

I was BEYOND disappointed by the W. Cardies and shift dresses, every day, really? With Grace the basic black makes sense - she's on her hands and knees half the time - but I couldn't fathom the tot...
I have a vintage wood version of the Crate and Barrel table (similar to the George Nelson). I have a pretty small apartment and this table has been a GODSEND. It folds out of the way and acts as a ...
Jac, I think it's your monitor. It definitely has a pink cast. I should have taken a picture at night - with the chandelier on, it is the coziest room I can imagine, and makes everyone's skin look ...
Hey wigglebutt (hee hee) - I'll try to find you an equivalent tomorrow when the light is better and I can match it to some swatch books I have at the office. I know it was one of the Home Depot "ho...

Actually looking again... maybe its not as old and vintage as I thought.
I'm so sad to see that AMAZING stove gone but I'm sure it didn't cook as well as a newer model. I hope you had it salvaged and not thrown away...
