Also I'm fairly certain that Eames lounger is a reproduction by a company called Selig.


Kara's 16 Hour Masculine + Mid-Century Living Room

Pretty impressive that she revamped the credenza and decorated everything in 16 hours. Props for that. On the other hand it is kinda bland, but may be appropriate for a movie set. For my own home I probably would have used a much larger rug.

It looks great but I question whether the headboard is too big and heavy for the space.

And I also question whether the space would look better without the wall-mounted candles, which look a bit like sconces and as a result, somewhat odd situated next to lamps.

Oh and what really needs to stop is this trend in accessorizing of mounting a bunch of little 4 x 6 pictures ten feet high on a wall just for the sake of having something there. At that point, they may as well be in the attic because no one can see them anyway Ditto for mounting pictures six inches off the floor.


Been There, Done That: Designers Weigh In On "Worst Trends"

I'd like to comment on trends in interior photography ... vastly overexposing photos to give rooms a "light and airy" feel (or to mask various imperfections or details or make them look bigger because you can't see where windows stop and the walls begin) needs to take a breather.

Another thing that needs to stop is applying vintage color effects to photos in order to provide a more appealing context to the room's design. I love Instagram as much as the next guy, but some rooms look best as they were originally shot, not given an artificial patina of sophistication or age or wisdom.

The bedroom is not my personal taste but the living area and kitchen are amazing. Thanks for sharing your great space.

New Year, New Thinking: Fresh Ideas to Make ANY Small Space Feel Larger
1/18/12 2:22 PM

This is a good list. Number 1 is key. (I use the 1-year rule rather than 5 months rule, mostly for seasonal stuff).

One thing I like to add is the category of clutter that you just can't part with because you *might* have *some* use for it *somewhere down the line*. Or stuff that you *might* sell on Ebay or Craigslist down the line. Most of that stuff is best recycled or thrown away especially if it's not worth more than $5 or $10.


5 Questions: Deciding to Keep or Purge

I really like it! I'm not sure about the utility of double sinks for a hallway bathroom, but to each his own. I'm sure if you have multiple guests staying over that they will like it. Plus $8000 is not that much to spend on a bathroom considering everything was replaced.

Another vote for a fun, colorful rug and painting at least one accent wall light blue.

Yes they are definitely used, but I would store the barstools elsewhere when you have a party, as they just take up space and people seem to want to stand.

I'm also sad that they discontinued those West Elm lamps. Nice space, I like your use of plaid. The Ace Hotel blanket is great, it's just a bit high priced at $275. Maybe AT can do a post on plaid bedding for men's rooms.

it's a tres fun space. I like your generous use of aquariums. But the hanging lamp in the living room ... the scale seems a little off, no?

This house was the project on her show a couple of years ago ... she renovated it room by room including a huge addition. I guess she decided to live in it instead of sell it? I personally preferred it as it was in the show, without all the Christmas stuff.

I love this. I just picked up 2 of these mirror packs (8 in total) from IKEA last weekend. I am struggling for ideas for them as well.

When I was in the IKEA they had them set up in 2 configurations. One where they were pushed together (flush). Another with a bit of spacing between them. The spacing looked a LOT better.

Sorry I can't be more helpful. You and I are in the same boat :)

A gift card as a host/hostess gift? Really? That seems rather strange. A bottle of wine seems to do the trick every time for me. Ornaments I would stay far far away from.

I'd find it pretty crazy that 6 people can sit at that dining table, what with the overlapping chairs and all. otherwise, nice space :) the office is my favorite room.

You can remove some of the creases with an iron. I've done so before with a poster I brought back from Europe in a small suitcase. Make sure to use a low setting (no steam or else it could ruin the paper) and apply heat to a sheet of paper on top of the poster.

I'm not sure if the poster you're referring to is actually Pulp Fiction (or whether we're just being misled by a stock photograph), but if it is, and if you just like the look but have no affinity for the actual thing itself, plenty of stores sell the Pulp Fiction posters as new. Try near college campuses.
