if you want to go antiqueish on the chairs, try midcentury modern instead (it might be overused lately but it will definitely be easier to work in with that sofa). alternatively, if yo...

I live in a typical Boston brownstone on a gorgeous tree lined street and I am pretty sure what it says to people about me is: "She is a heartless yuppie (she must be called Madison and her boyfrie...

cassandra158, i think they are planning on putting an additional board bellow the pull-out desk which would fill the gap. i like the built-in, and l-o-v-e the bombe chest!

where is this picture on the post from? i love it and would like to see more from the designer or catalog where it came from.

has anyone purchased a crystal chandelier from Great Chandeliers or Gallery 84 (which seems to be the same company)? I have read so many complaints about them online and have been totally discourag...

As a fellow Bostonian (and a new owner of a South End brownstone myself), I am exstatic to find such a comprehensive list of local resources. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The inn ...

i also vote for the pale gray

given the great white paneling you have on the wall (which appears to stop after the window somewhat akwardly) I would paint the wall the same white color. White on white is very in right now and i...

if it's big enough relative to the width of your bedroom so that it looks like a built-in, it'll be OK. If it's just perched in the middle of a wall with the side storage units sticking out, it wou...

get one of those curtain rods that is practically at the ceiling and spans the entire wall with the window. get curtains in light blue matching your duvet cover with about a foor of brown at the bo...

one more vote for lightspeed's idea. better yet, get built-in white shelves all around the room preferably with some molding on the top that matches the windows and leave the chairs alone

Where did you get those fabulous statues of the people doing yoga? I love love love them!

i know i'm in the monority here, but it's all a little hodge-podge for my taste

Personally, I am also tired of the sunburst mirrors and the bentwood anything, but I do agree that that article is obnoxious. And the Domino mag editor should get off her high horse and realize tha...

A few years ago I scored a couple of Parsons-style barstools and four matching Parsons dining chairs. They are very comfortable, timeless, and best of all come with changeable slipcovers for washin...

i would put a yellow rug similar to the "lemon" one here: http://www.overstock.com/...

I second the idea of a chalkboard rectangle behind the TV and speakers framed in a moulding matching the rest of the wall color. get some chalk and have a party where your friends can "decorate" fo...

I also vote for the IKEA bed in the picture. My boyfriend bought it recently and it's the sturdiest piece of furniture I have ever seen (and believe me, I've seen a lot cause I am really into furni...

this screams west elm to me -- i'd check their website

what style/colors are you going for here? i'd keep stools as an option given the small scale of the table.
