The wall is really ugly, in my opinion, and I would take this opportunity to change it. I think it would look better to have the wall zig-zag back again on the other side, rather than put in the d...

I agree with the idea of a good cleaning, some paint and living with what you've got for awhile before making major changes. In the meantime I would use the bedroom with the sink as a dressing roo...

I think this room would look a lot better without the slipcovers, but I could imagine a setting where they would work. Bedroom, candlelight, windows thrown open to the breeze, champagne and chocol...

The chair really doesn't go. Can you spring for the Ikea Molger for the shoes/ bench? http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/pro...

black and white checkerboard--- a classic and would look nice with your tile. and I would keep the appliances white. stainless looks clean for about first minute and a half after you clean it.

I love every single bit of it. And great camera work. The composition of the photo taken from the kitchen at dusk has the movement and exuberance of a piece of modern art.

There are some very inexpensive woven shades that you can order that have light blocking panels attached to the back. I have them in one room and they work very well.

whytephoenix, don't forget the other beautiful blue on those lovely lamps.

when we had more cash we often rented apartments when on vacation, and I tried to find ones that were decorated in a style that I could never live with, but would love to visit. oh, late afternoon...

It looks wonderful, and I, too, think the lamps are a stoke of genius---But where does the ottoman usually go? Certainly not blocking the speaker as it is now. I can sympathize,...

i don't think much of it as art, but would love to spend some time cross referencing it with a street map, to get a better idea of SF in 3D.

anniegroover--you can usually get drawers to run more smoothly by rubbing soap or a bit of candle in the areas that are sticky. if that doesn't work, try sanding it a bit, and then try the wax or ...

I just did not see how these were going to work, so I forgot about it. I was off doing something else, not even thinking about chairs and the answer came to me. And not even one answer, but two se...

Beautiful "bones" (i love the Eastlake), fantastic craftsmanship, but looks tragic---like a horrible traffic accident and you can't look away.

personal safety was my first thought, too

I like the green-gray of the amphora, or the dark blue of the dress. Then pick another color for a lamp or decorative items.

a white Poul Henningsen ph5 pendant would look amazing against the dark walls http://stardust.com/ph5lamp-p-louispoulsen.html

I really like this one http://www.muleh.com/_light/_light.php?product=kai_arc_lamp

I use these http://www.joissu.com/prodinfo.asp?number=55-269 nice and bright, but does run though batteries quickly

Motherbear, I am going to have to disagree that messing with this particular table would ruin its proportions.
