just had to throw in my 2 cents about the television... what is ugly about a sleek, flat screen? one that serves a purpose and is efficiently hung on a wall, no less? what makes it mo...

i do think this looks kind of, um... "slummin' it"... and i'm a fan of found objects... kelly http://tearinguphouses.blogspot.com

i've emailed a couple of times inquiring about Florida representation to no avail. i think we have a good mix of foreign design influences plus -- depending on where you are -- mid century art dec...

the hopscotch is FABULOUS. i want. the lamp? not so much. kind of gives me nightmares of falling asleep at my studio desk in architecture school. kelly

it's rare that i see a post and truly like every single space. this is that post. (by the way, where are those great little wood chairs from?) kelly

i like the cupboards the best. totally gave me an idea! kelly http://tearinguphouses.blogspot.com

That chair is fabulous in the blue! Love the color advice, "If you have to think about whether something looks good, it probably isn't right for you..." Kelly

interesting. i like it in the first picture. the color works really well. for some reason it almost seems like it's weaved or something to me... very nice. (here's my recently re...

butter brown ice cream in cider sounds AMAZING. this is what i'll be trying this weekend, though...

Interesting idea. Wouldn't it make more sense to be designing for the sun on the exterior of the building, though? On a side note, living in Florida, I cannot imagine it always stayin...

How much fun does this space look?! I love all of the colors. I think they work so well, because the backdrop is a bright white. Wonderful room. Kelly

i like the way it's furnished... definitely better than office that i've worked at in the past! kelly http://tearinguphouses.blogsp...

ahhh, i can totally imagine walking past these and doing a double take, then retracing my steps backwards. what a wonderful little surprise! kelly

I love the natural elements and a pale paint colors. Reminds me of the guest bedroom (the rug in photo 4 would be the perfect addition!) we're doing...

I have no idea, in terms of the weather-proofing (sorry!), but I just had to pop in to say how much I love your find! Kelly http://t...

i like the idea, but i feel like i'm going to tap it, and they'll all break. then again, i'm 5 feet tall so that's unlikely. :) i'm off to buy one of those plate clocks now... kelly...

i love the dining room's mixed matched chairs (especially the blue one) paired with a more formal framed painting. i wish there was a close up of the curtain that she uses to separate the kitchen ...

i think it really depends on the condition it's in, how it fits in your space, and how the design sits with you. personally, i could go either way with the fabric, depending on the setting. i do ...

Ohmygoodness, this is hilarious. HILARIOUS. Does the world really need Obama toilet seat covers? Did the creator seriously not have a moment of pause? Why were these pe...

i have not done this, but would definitely try it. i've seen it done well in bedrooms and dining spaces. kelly http://tearinguphous...
