very light gray

As I write this, I'm laying on my 6 year old Jasper sofa. The cushions have held up very well actually, although it will never look as perfect as it did in the showroom. Just be sure you flip and r...

This is awesome!

My guest room is Pear Green and I love it in the daylight, but at night it feels kind of heavy. Don't even think of using CFL's if you paint Pear Green either. I had to change the light bulbs in th...

I tried to give it a "thumbs up" but it says it's closed.

In my bathroom the tile is a beigey-gray, so I painted the walls a very, very light blue. I found a Marimekko shower curtain with different shades of light blue and a chartreusey green and then hav...

I'm so jealous. I would love to visit!

I want to see more of this room. Between the wall illustrations and the pops of color in the lamps and chair, I really dig it.

I miss that show!

Could also be a great humid place for a larger plant.

I'm not sure if flor tiles will stay in place. I've found that the little dots they include to keep them together are a total joke.

I just tear out the pages that I want to keep as inspiration, then recycle the rest of the magazine. I already have too much stuff to store as it is.

Maybe add some more shelves and make it a little library. Add a cozy chair with lighting and it would make a nice little reading nook.

I hate packing, so I always leave it for the last minute.

I was just considering either this for my kitchen floor, especially since the pattern would help hide spills.

Please don't paint the wood. I think the berry paint color is fighting with the golden tones in the wood and doesn't provide enough contrast. Whether you go lighter or darker with a different color...

Must be nice to consider under $300 as affordable for home accessories. I guess I'll be over at Crate and Barrel.
