Normally I'm a paint person, but that wood grain is stupendous. Great job. (And, it also illustrates that, contrary to what some claim, paint is not necessarily permanent.) Before & After: Dresser Makeunder Curbly Flag this comment	5/23/12 4:01 PM

Wonderful project. I love how the uniformity of color makes them all look related, somehow. Street Seats by Bade Stageberg Cox Flag this comment	5/22/12 5:14 PM
Yikes, I just noticed -- in the fine print -- that this post is almost three years old. Can't AT do better? It seems we're seeing more and more recyled posts these days. A couple of 2012 commenters have asked the homeowner about sourcing accessories... wonder if she'll look at the (re)post... or if she'll remember where she got the stuff... or if she still even lives there.

The inclination to explore one's immediate surroundings, and the ability to discover new things there, is a gift. Reminds me of a Thoreau quote: "I have traveled extensively in Concord."

Such a colorful and happy space! I love how the FLOR squares tie it all together. My Great Outdoors: Maggie B's Slowly Designed Space Flag this comment	5/22/12 11:28 AM
Coveting the color, creativity, and artful clutter of this cozy cottage. High marks, too, for all the edifying notes accompanying the photos. And that chest of drawers in the dining room is so perfectly imperfect! Shelley & Reed's Creative Cottage House Tour Flag this comment	5/21/12 3:14 PM
"Pinecones don't have to be just for the holidays..." And yet, winding fluffy white yarn around them looks like nothing so much as ... snow. Pinecones paired w/coral and driftwood for a "beachy" look? Even if the photo showed actual driftwood instead of a twiglet, I'd say... no.

I'm glad this lady likes her home, but... really? Puddling drapes, a blah color palette, off-the-rack furniture and art (much of which is hung too high) ... not doing it for me. And what's with the dead/dying plastic-potted plant in the last photo? Suzann's Lovely London Maisonette House Tour Flag this comment	5/19/12 8:48 PM
Someday we intend to paint our hardwood kitchen floor in a b&w checkerboard pattern. I much prefer the checks to be on the diagonal (vis-a-vis the walls), as is shown in some of these pics. Designing Around Black & White Checkerboard Kitchen Floors Flag this comment	5/18/12 7:12 PM

Oh my. It almost seems disrespectful to even call it a shed. It has all the quality and attention to detail that one would hope for in a finely built home. I want one just like it, please! A Tiny Backyard Retreat: Gardening Shed Meets Campout CabinFine Homebuilding Flag this comment	5/18/12 4:03 PM
Neither the before nor the after is to my taste, but: anyone who would refer to this as "the world's ugliest condo" has led a lamentably sheltered existence. The World's Ugliest Condo: The Big Reveal Renovation Before & After Flag this comment	5/17/12 9:10 PM
sorry, wouldn't want a pegboard directly over the stove... 10 Pegboards in the Kitchen Flag this comment	5/17/12 5:35 PM
Some of these are great, esp. #4. But I wouldn't a pegboard directly over the stove, as some of these are. Also, in pic #1 -- putting spices on or near your stove is a sure-fire way for them to lose potency and flavor at record speed. 10 Pegboards in the Kitchen Flag this comment	5/17/12 5:33 PM
Absolutely enchanting. Great that you can enjoy the fruits (literally) of your parents' labors, and love that you've planted more trees for future generations. Would love to see other non-U.S. gardens on AT. Malgorzata's Colorful, Fruitful Garden My Great Outdoors Flag this comment	5/17/12 9:17 AM
I like #2 and #4, probably because I like (non-neon) color AND vintage. Also a fan of tongue&groove ceilings and painted floors. Color Crazy: Ten Vibrant Kitchens to Shake Up Your Style Flag this comment	5/16/12 5:27 PM
