Nice photos and lovely home. There's a very Martha Stewart-y feel to both the photos and the house (I mean that in a good way).

Wow. So in one summer you went from total novice to making this?! That's amazing on your part and a testament to your school as well. Congrats, looks like you're off to a great start as furniture m...

Add some art on the walls and a little personalization and it's perfect.

I want to like this but... I don't. The design is too clunky and self conscious. They're just too THERE. You could probably do just as well with standard hardware store items. It might look better ...

Oh the luxury of having your recycling picked up instead of having to go three different places to drop it off. Give me a big blue bin any day.

Very beautiful. I can certainly see why it gets rented for photoshoots. I don't really understand the answer to the proudest DIY question though..."The whole house was really a DIY c...

I don't understand what's "fake" about it. It's not as if they pretend to be the owners when potential buyers visit. My parents did this for about 2.5 years in the mid 90s. They had s...

No no no. Camping in a cage. Totally misses the point of camping.

This house is featured in the July/August issue of āvivre magazine. It's my new dream house inspiration. The last photo above is what the original structure, a hunters' shelter, looked like ...

Before leaving town, I always lock the filing cabinet with any sensitive paperwork (bank info, tax info, etc) and make sure the computer is password protected. Depending on how close you are to the...

This might be worth learning how to knit!

Go with a white silestone. The vanity is a keeper.

Too bad San Francisco is so far from Boston. The table in the 3rd and 4th photos of the next post (Lekker store) seems like what you're looking for. Maybe give them a call and ask who makes it.

Beautiful, functional, amazingly clever use of space. This is an incredible apartment. For those wondering if this is their full time residence, based on the info in the original arti...

I would definitely not paint it. From the photos at least, it doesn't look like it needs much beyond a good cleaning with Murphy's Oil Soap or similar mild product. Is the upholstery in good shape?...

Pretty close-up photos of pretty objects, but I get no feel for how these are put together in the home.

It's refreshing to see someone with a small TV instead of a huge flatscreen dominating the room. Very cute place.

I'm more interested in the branch as a clothes rack. Very simple and creative.

For the source of the pillow on the bed, the designer is Shelly Klein, and her studio is called K Studio. She does great work. Check out her web site: http://w...

I seems comfortable, lovely and long lasting. More David Weeks lighting, yey! He seems to be popping up more and more. I'm not a big fan of a flat screen TV in the dining room but to each his/her o...
