Love those matching lamps in the lounge. The lamps in the bedroom complement the height of the canopy nicely!

I'm a fan of their loose teas especially the Assam.

I'm diggin' it: understated but fun and functional. The wallpaper is my favorite.

Love it. My favorite is the art work. Surprised I didn't see any vintage Seydou Keita photos. Great job.

Good idea! A nice way to let it all go. Hopefully this will keep me from dreaming about all the things I need to do or forgot to.

Hi everyone. It’s Yokie. Thanks for your comments and thanks to Rachael for a nice write up! I’d like to respond to some of your comments:

Window treatments: these are top-down bottom-up light filtering shades from Smith and Noble. In the photo, they have been adjusted to only cover the bottom half of the window, letting light in from the top.

Console table: Portica w/ glass top from Room and Board. This table is well priced and comes in a wide range of custom sizes. Mine is 32x8 29h to fit my small corner landing strip.

Soundproofing: The contractor used Thermabat which is sound deadening (not sound proofing) fibrous material. A new frame was built over the existing wall and padded with the Thermabat, then covered with dry wall.

Boxspring: I know it’s exposed in the photo but it was subsequently covered with a fitted sheet and looks much better. Thanks for the tip though.

Roomba: I cannot say enough about this fantastic appliance! Cleans up cat hair, kitty litter, and crumbs in a snap.

Kitty: She enjoyed being the star of the housetour but the cover shot of her squatting over the bed was probably not the most flattering.

Hi Supon! I love your home, especially the style of furniture, the colors and the cheeky political art. I have the same sofa.

The use of white walls and large furniture pieces with bold color accents is sophisticated and fun. I have been experimenting with the same white, black, orange color scheme in my place (see my upcoming DC house tour) and your entry provides great inspiration. This is a winner! Congratulations. Go DC!

Use some bright FLOR tiles to add a little color. They are easy to clean and will liven up the space.

I also loved this commercial. I was paying more attention to the design and furniture than the car.

Nice nursery. Love the rocker and the fabric on the crib.

The owner of the house featured in the photo above (according to Living etc) is an executive at Knoll. No wonder they have such a great collection of mid century modern furniture in their house. I imagine the design perks that come with that job.
