I cannot presume to speak for others, but I think my own negative reaction to this renovation/addition has more to do with it's lack of integration of the old and new rather than either a distaste ...

Love what you have. Get rid of what you don't love and move on. It's just stuff. The ability to make a choice and stick with it shows that you trust your own judgement.

Since when are maturity and vivacity opposites?

It's completely understandable that the Gold-Williamses would feature their own merchandise in their book, but it must be noted that for most people their price point falls more on the side of 'inv...

This looks like a project better done on a stretched canvas or sheet of foamcore rather than directly on the wall. That way you could incorporate the additional colour or texture of a fabric backin...

No silly citrus juicers on the countertops? Missed cross-promotion opportunity, Philippe!

Good starting point, but when working with such cheap materials why so stingy? I'd layer and stack the sticks irregularly in the sunburst pattern for more wow power.

Maybe the outdoor setting is not the most flattering choice for displaying reclaimed appliances?

That hot mango yellow colour that was in many of the forecasts this year gives me a headache.

This place has some serious issues, aesthetics aside. The 'snug' bedroom (which looks more like a large closet) is just off the kitchen? Really? Creating a proper space to actually sleep was not in...

Ornamental patterns of any kind are by definition not Modern. And Cassis you are absolutely right --all of the illustrations here should fall in the 'tradtional' rather than 'modern' stylistic bucket.

So the entire home is essentially two corridors, one upstairs and one downstairs? It looks like a student project rather than a real home because it doesn't really address how people will us...

I love pink. I loathe white coordinated with pastel pink, as all of these pics present it. Pink can be as strong and energetic as red when mixed up in rich saturated hues and combined with other st...

Joa's advice for small spaces is spot on. It forever drives me nuts when people say "Dark or strong colours make spaces look smaller." It's just the opposite really. That's why tiny theatre spaces ...

The concept has merit, but my god what an oogly chair.

Like anything else, 'granny chic' taken too far appeals only to the hardcore fans. Dowdy, but with irony, is a dangerous style trend - one step too far and it's just plain dowdy.

You said it, mlleErica! Enough people are doing this badly already; don't encourage more.

Most of the pics above show interesting decorative treatments for branches, but there is nothing sadder than a dead twig stuck in a plain jane glass jar attempting to pass for decor (looking at you...

Totally cool... if you like dusting.

I've tried many of these 'natural' remedies and they work to varying degrees, but the problem with ants is that there are so damned many that even if some are deterred there are still many more tha...
