Some nice features but they are "high hangers"--people who put their artwork way too far up on the wall. To me this detracts a lot from the impact of some of the spaces.

mirandabee, that was my thought exactly too--it was owned by Scandinavians, thus it remains Scandinavian. I am guessing it looked a lot different with the former owners' stuff in it. T...

My books aren't arranged in any of the ways described above. They are in two rooms--my living room and my bedroom. In the year I've been in my house I haven't had time to "arrange" them by any syst...

What a lovely home. It is so unpretentious and real despite having incredible architectural features and fine art and furniture throughout. Really, this is how it's done. Compare the use of modern ...

I am a coaster freak AND a felt freak. But I hate wine charms. These are adorable and would make a great gift.

Really, would "comfortable" seats made from your own luggage really do anything to offset the indignities of air travel these days? Also, they look pristine now but imagine sitting on them after th...

Bold colors and textures. Nothing too perfumey.

I just want to comment on the photo with the red shoes. What a great shot!

My "welcome item" is my two large, friendly dogs. That's my welcome scent, too.

Other than people of today being fatter, less formal and more consumer-focused than Victorian-era folks, I don't think the use of rooms in homes has changed much. So I strongly disagree that tiny l...

I look at a lot of books and sites focusing on Scandinavian design, and this just doesn't feel like any of what I've seen. Too much black and white, not enough texture or natural elements. I think ...

I do too. That first room is incredibly peaceful and I love the color he chose.

I agree, but was most distracted (and fascinated) by the name "Barnaby Grist." Awesome. It should be in a novel.

The red is the problem. It is a bluish red whereas the brick is a warm red. Try brown or cedar as one of the other posters suggested. I would definitely find some large planters for ei...

It is beautifully done...really amazing...but it's kind of gross too. I just keep picturing people sitting on it by mistake.

Yeah, this is a really poorly written post, and if the "afters" are on the left also a counter-intuitive way of presenting the contrasting shots. I agree with mirandabee that there is ...

ejensen, this couple willingly put their home up for public scrutiny. Everyone has different opinions about what they think about it, which is the point of this site. A lot of people noted that it ...

Not a big fan. It would be like having something made of real fur on the table. And ruckus is right that it totally blocks the view across the table.

I should like this, but I don't. Maybe it's the stripes. I am not a stripe person.

The apartment itself is very cool. I find the decor underwhelming. I don't think the MCM pieces (particularly the molded plastic ones) work at all. And there is very little art, which I think the w...
