I'm not sure i understand what is meant by "vignetted furnishings"? Does that just mean "arranged in a way we approve of"? And as opposed to what? furniture heaped in the corner?
to me, part of what makes the black insert such a problem is the washed-out yellow wall color. A stronger wall color to balance the black might make the insert brick AOK as is. Agree that the mante...
Agree with bitdot that glass door on tub might open things up.... but glass doors can be tough with young children, depending on how you bathe them. Nothing more uncomfortable than having to lean y...
On the odd chance that the real Fiesta Ware mfgrs take exception, I want to point out that in the etsy description, she says "welcome to my shop of fiesta ware inspired .... whimsical .... playful ...
Nice vibe to your home! And ooh, what's the yellowy-green color? And where did you find that metal sea-anemone lamp in the light blue room? It's wonderful.
That last photo troubles me. The others all look crisp, fresh, structured.... the last looks like it's been beat all to hell. Makes me wonder if these swings look crisp for a year--and then cave in...

Makes for a cool photo, but that's not the sole or most important characteristic of good design....not in my book in any case, for reasons that are apparently verboten to articulate today. : ) So.....

Any experienced treehouse builders on? We've got a 100' oak that has to come down (sniff!), and we're hoping we can leave 6-7' of stump (4' diameter) and use it as a platform for a treehouse, maybe...
Ah, I knew I recognized that library! Great reno of the children's room in the [previously very shabby] branch at 181st(ish).... miss that library. Those giant light fixtures deserve a post of thei...
^^^ and hey... I've been wondering about quick and easy options for customizing remnant carpets into something more interesting, more graphic; I love the great patterns I see in rugs on AT, but the...
