Nope. My parents moved right after I went to college.
But I do love rooms that reflect more than one person's taste. It's always more layered and interesting, even if the particular ro...
The whole point of industrial items in the home is that they have a found-object quality. Laboriously refinishing a store-bought item to look like you found it on the street seems a bit silly.
If you were the person who originally came up with the idea, it's hot, because it probably reflects your interests and sense of humor. But if you're copying the idea out of a magazine, it's not hot.
If you paint the room, paint the sink base the same color so it blends in.
I'd also add more towel hooks and take down the awkwardly placed towel rack -- that's really not where you w...
P.S. I read an article several years ago about a couple that bought and converted a New England church. Apparently strangers knock on their door regularly asking to see the pastor.
Many of the old convents in Montreal have been converted into living spaces. I agree that it's a great way to preserve the old buildings; otherwise they might be razed. And since I'm a sucker for g...
I've bought over a dozen artworks from 20x200. The printing quality is really, really good -- comparable to expensive gallery prints. I don't know how they do it.

The 80s are coming back, and this was a high-end piece of furniture in its day. It might be highly sought after in a few years (especially since it has an interesting Hollywood provenance), but if ...
Well, the rug DOES define the space, but I think the apartment looks larger if you don't. One flooring all the way through makes the rooms seem connected, rather than three separate areas.

This is way nicer than Graceland.
I'm with guerilla on this. I think the bedroom should be the most personalized room in the house.

The proportions are so elegant. I can't believe it's the same apartment as the Before.
Okay, normally I hate theme rooms, but for tiki I'll make an exception. This place is fabulous.
