ephi's got one of my favourites linked: Vancouver Public Library - over 20K people go into that library per day - and the design is such that lots of people pass through all the time. It's an amazi...
It's a gorgeous colour, but you're right, it does suck in light. Can you accent wall it and then do another colour? Or do a cream like colour all over the room? Beautiful bones to work with :)
Can't answer the poll, for whatever reason, which is a pain, because I can guarantee that there aren't many of us from my part of the country (not if what's on the site is any representation of 'Ca...
Normal sandwiches don't taste the same on a plane? What the heck is that all about?/
I just bring a couple of cheese sandwiches and a few apples along. If I have them at home, some fru...
What an evocative space. magical, both inside and out.
why white? I love the colours, and having seen some cavernous historic homes in the UK, many have rich colours on the walls (as d...
totally ingenious space.
that said, the majority of us reading this blog have no architect to work with (we don't even have cleaners, and some of us can barely afford babysitters), an...
I'm a white kind of person myself: white walls with popping jewel tones in furniture, paintings, etc. (you might, however, want to take my perspective with a grain of salt, given that I detest beig...
Count me out. This is just wasteful and makes EXTRA steps. Whiteboard here, and then everything's transferred onto the back of a used envelope for the weekly trip to the grocery store.
never used fabric softener and never will; the stuff stinks and the clothes feel all funny afterwards. Plus, it just adds extra chemicals into the atmosphere. yuck.
Our city ordinance calls for quiet between 11 and 7. And I think that's fair for weekends. We have kids and we're quiet by ca. 9 on weekdays, though I'm fine if people are still outside at 10. I'd ...
I think the new billy bookcase doors are great...in moderation, though. I imagine a whole wall of them could be quite potent. On the other hand, if your wall colour pulled in the blue or green and ...
colour! Some splurts of colour: visual art, rugs, curtains, plants, lamps, pillows...whatever. You could pull in some colours from yoru painting. And you could find an end table at a thrift shop an...
For those of you in Vancouver (canada, not washington), have a wander through the back lanes of east vancouver. You'll see lots of these kinds of gardens: very efficient use of space, and super eas...
ooh, the colour makes me smile! what is it? Whatever it is, it's bold and bright and gutsy....and grand!
As for the furniture, who the heck cares where she got her furniture?She says s...
curtains for sure. Also some great prints: these can be small or large, but should have a large 'footprint' - ie. they can have a huge matt around them if they're small. Often if you have a local a...
Looks like a dresser, given the abundance of drawers and lack of deeper shelves. But it *feels* like a sideboard, if that makes any sense at all. I'd use it as a sideboard. It works brilliantly wit...

wow. what a stunning space. warm, bright and incredibly spacious. And so very nice to just see wood, rather than paint.

The yellow in the first picture is truly amazing. I've been looking for *exactly* that colour for my kitchen!
