I'm betting aychihuahua makes a generous salary and/or doesn't live in a major city. Sure, it's not hard to provide a dedicated guest room if you can afford a spacious three- or four-bedroom house...

Could be cool to turn it into a spice rack.

I could be wrong, but I believe the furniture/items in the photo are not Courtney's but belong to the sellers of the home. In any case, I agree with everyone that the best spot for a tv is opposit...

(Sorry Northern Dad -- I see you covered this.)

The chairs are not custom -- they're Kartell Mademoiselle arm chairs: http://www.allmodern.com/Kartell-489X-KTL1023.html. I've bee...

I just finished doing what mariob did, and I'm thrilled! I have a gorgeous pair of antique French clubchairs with intricate white, carved wooden frames, with upholstery recovered in an ugly (and s...

I completely agree with kristian and hans111. You got a bargain on some beautiful and well-made (but not iconic) chairs, and now you should do whatever it takes to make them yours.

Those chairs are very nice, and Hickory Chair is a high-end, pricey brand. I fell in love with their "Vauxhall Cabinet" http://www....

This paint/don't paint debate gets so tiresome. Just because something is made of wood, does not automatically make it a "nice wooden piece." Plenty of things are made cheaply from cheap/flimsy w...

Horchow has a faux-turquoise chandelier on its website for $1100 I've been considering. I love the dramatic color, and it looks not unlike the fixtures pictured in the salon above.

Jayson Home outlet (below their store on Clybourne) has a large selection of discount wood frames from Artist Frame Service next door, in all shapes, sizes and styles, usually between $15-$50. I f...

Ballard is quick and reliable, and their pieces are relatively well-made (although not the most exciting design-wise). I have several and they've held up well. It looks like this one is not curre...

MCNicole: Jayson Home often has them as well.

I LOVE it! Totally industrial-chic. I would put a smaller version in my house in a second.

I love wrapping in plain brown craft paper (super cheap) and then splurging on the most gorgeous silk ribbons in brilliant colors and patterns. Ribbon is much easier and less tacky to reuse, and I...

I like bepsf's layout too. I'd stand a flat screen (rather than mount it) on a narrow console along that 8" bathroom wall. That way the furniture is a focal point more than the television. Do a ...

The Vornado digital vortex heater is magic. It's tiny and unobrusive-looking, quiet, and very effective. Also cool to the touch and stable -- important in a house with three pets. Set a tempurat...

I live in a rowhouse sharing a wall with a major Chicago rock concert venue. My husband and I were very worried about noise when we purchased, but we loved the house so much we crossed our fingers...

One more thing: The paint on the walls looks fresh and recent, so you may not want to hear this, but I don't think the wall color works very well with the floor color and the piano color. I'd cons...
