Just wanted to second post # 2: Do not sign a longer-term lease (e.g. 2 years) until you have lived in an apartment for a while! I once fell in love with a loft studio on what I thought was a quiet...
I don't know if that is just jealousy speaking, but the ceilings seem low for such a large space (after combining the three apartments). I'm wondering if keeping some of the furniture to a more pro...
I think it's been 10 years since I last bought a piece of furniture new at full price. Saving and then buying a floor sample, sale item or a slightly used piece off craigslist would probably the wi...
Well, if they are "everywhere", I think it's fair to say that those who haven't filled their yard with busts and heads already have missed the boat and should better wait for the next big thing (or...
The Knoll chairs look awesome. As for the dresser: Most of the furniture I got from craigslist was for 10-30% of msrp. I don't think I paid more than 50% for anything.
No coffee table here either, although there are a few I'm looking for on craigslist. Am I the only who feels that room #1 is really claustrophobic - sitting on the sofa you're just waiting to be sq...
bdog: it seems it would be easier to go to one of the 20 Benjamin Moore stores in Chicago, rather than hoping someone else will get the color right. If they had to match a sample it would definitel...
I don't think throwing in a few flea-market knick-knacks or banged-up leather chairs really captures the essence of wabi sabi. It is not "decorating" and it is not design-jargon.
I don't know. Maybe I'm taking this too seriously, but "writing" articles by cutting&pasting from the website of a product one has never seen seems kind of lame.
I don't quite get the animosity towards DWR. Surely, if there was a way to produce and market high-quality, original modern furniture much cheaper than what one could get through DWR, someone would...

I'm a huge fan of orange, but don't particularly like any of these. Hm.
I've seen worse.
Or one could save the money for knickknacks and actually travel to some interesting places...
Well, "vignetted" may be a word after all: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/vignetted but add me to tho...
Nice, but I guess I'm missing the 'low' part.

I was toying with the idea of installing a "living" wall somewhere around the house. Thanks for setting me straight on that.
Very nice, and prices seem comparable to mass-produced tables etc from C&B, Pottery Barn etc. Thanks for the link!

Zanotta makes some fantastic pieces of furniture. This is not one of them.
