I love that you were able to fit a large dining table into your small space (and how you put it flush against the kitchen counter). I love having dinner parties, and could never live with only a tw...
I love what you've done so far! I think that bump out is calling for some kind of dramatic wall treatment. I'm thinking maybe some cool wallpaper on just that bump out, so it would almost seem like...
I have a similar red, a chocolate brown, and a greenish gray in my open living/dining/entryway, and they look pretty good together. If you want a greenish gray, I suggest Master Room by Ralph Laure...
I love that rug in the living room!!! Anybody know where it's from, and if there are any similar rugs that don't break the bank (as I'm sure this one does)?
I second the Casa Gonzalez. I've stayed there dozens of times. It's quiet, and has tons of charm, a beautiful garden courtyard, and great antique furniture. I will say that it does not have many am...
African-INSPIRED decor is fine, but let's not promote companies (like Primitive and Douglas Dawson gallery promoted here) that sell ancient artifacts that were almost all looted-- read stolen-- fro...

Wow... I never understood the fascination with FLOR tiles until now. That flexibility is awesome.
