Hey guys, this is Stefan, aka ArchitectDesign - the housetour 'host'! The bookshelves are AMAZING -they're from IKEA but they sadly no longer sell them -the 'docent' collection. Try looking on crai...
Stefan Hurray (aka ArchitectDesign) here, from the article.... I loved reading everyone's takes. I wasn't talking about leather couches so much (although, really, it's the same thing) but more abou...
I think paint that high area white to match the ceiling and put a strip light up there so the light distribution is more even. That would go with the more modern feel I think you have with your fur...
At my current office we all have 'freedoms' and it's ok - better than the 'leep' which i had at my old office. However - i LOVE the aeron chair -thats what the bosses had at my old office.

I own 2 sets of sheets and change them weekly - I WISH i had the time to iron them...or the patience.... I change my pillowcases though about 3 times a week ( I find that works just as well as fre...
I love the high gloss black idea -how about painting it all the high gloss black EXCEPT the top of the buffet and leave that the original wood or perhaps a red or orange for contrast? Lovely piece ...
I have the similiar Grace sofa for about 3 years now and love it -get lots of compliments. For a small sofa it's very comfortable ( obviously can't lay out on it ) and the only thing I would compla...
