Hello, (former) Nashville folks! Mandy, you did a superb job. You use color in a way that looks fresh and fun--but mature. Your unpretentious attitude is refreshing, too. Thanks for showing that you can make a beautiful home without a ton of money. And I love the train case magazine holder--I'm definitely going to borrow that idea!

Le Chat Noir, vintage liquor ads, For Like Ever, Mucha and Van Gogh prints, and (because this is Nashville) Hatch show prints. Tamara de Lempicka is getting overdone, too, but I've always loved her and always will. Apartment Therapy Chicago \| The Most Common Artwork Flag this comment	9/29/09 12:22 PM
madsarah: Exactly. The Nash never takes anything too seriously. Splomo: Thank you! The fabric came from the remnant bin at Jo-Ann's. Sassydo, the paint is Benjamin Moore's Merlot.

I clicked on this thinking yes, me too only to find that picture #7 is my house! I am sitting on one of those blue velvet chairs as I type this. AT, I love you. I like the shade of blue in picture #10. So pretty. Apartment Therapy San Francisco \| Blue Velvet Obsession Flag this comment	9/26/09 7:32 PM

FUN! This makes me happy (and it reminds me of Pee-Wee's playhouse). Thanks for posting this. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| Look! A Valentine's Garden Flag this comment	2/4/08 2:48 PM
I used Formby's Furniture Face Lift kit on a Heywood Wakefield tabletop, and I loved the results. http://www.formbys.com/products/face_lift.cfm Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| Wood Maintenance Kits? Flag this comment	2/4/08 2:38 PM
These rooms scare me because they make me think of hospitals. I see these and imagine someone having open heart surgery on the dining table. Apartment Therapy Chicago \| All-White Interiors Flag this comment	1/31/08 2:48 PM
Well done! That wood is beautiful. Apartment Therapy San Francisco \| Northwest #11: Kryz's 1939 Hollywood Desk Flag this comment	1/31/08 2:41 PM
Other: Cords everywhere. The other things bother me too, but cords crisscrossing the living room floor and cluttering the space under end tables and desks drives me CRAZY. Apartment Therapy San Francisco \| SF Survey: What's Your Biggest Decorating Peeve? Flag this comment	1/31/08 2:40 PM
I love this. Love, love, love it. Excellent work! Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| SouthWest #1: Theresa's Bookcase Bar Flag this comment	1/25/08 2:48 PM
Thanks to Mr. Dangerous, Goody, and southof290! The chairs were a thrift store find, and something stinky happened to the striped fabric before I bought them. So the stripes really HAD to go. It wasn't just a question of aesthetics; it was a question of cleanliness. The sideboard hutch thing was a craigslist find. It has no maker's mark anywhere. If anyone else knows about it, please let me and Joan know. Apartment Therapy Chicago \| Midwest #6: The "Cheesy but Strangely Appealing Velvet" Project Flag this comment	1/25/08 9:50 AM

My bathroom is pale blue and brown. The walls are blue and the textiles are brown (which makes it easy to change things when I get sick of this scheme). The paint is called "Watery" and I think it was Sherwin Williams. I love it. Apartment Therapy San Francisco \| SF Good Questions: Ice Blue/Brown Combination? Flag this comment	12/11/07 12:43 PM
I would feel very pretentious if I owned a toaster named Alessi. Can I vote for my $34.99 Hamilton Beach Toastation? Its sleek curved handle and dual toasting system make me feel, uh, like eating toast. Apartment Therapy - Best of Three: Modern Toasters Flag this comment	11/30/07 9:01 PM
I don't get it. Do they have a function that I'm not seeing? Apartment Therapy - Hot or Not? Decorative Pewter Wishbones Flag this comment	11/23/07 1:15 PM
The bed is gorgeous. Throwing it out and buying new things shouldn't be the answer. I think low modern beds are ugly, but that's just me. As others have said, a tailored bed skirt and a chest or bench at the foot of the bed would help. A lighter paint color on the wall or a darker paint color on the bed frame would cause the tall headboard to stand out less. If the ceiling feels too close when you are in bed, a luxurious canopy or mosquito net might fix things. A high-gloss pale paint on the ceiling is supposed to make the ceiling seem higher. If all else fails, store that lovely bed until you can use it in a larger room. Pictures showing the length and narrowness of the room might elicit more advice on that problem.

I considered doing some very light shopping today (everything in my favorite comic shop is 20% off today!), but grad school beckons. I will spend the day writing papers. Apartment Therapy - Black Friday or Buy Nothing Day? Flag this comment	11/23/07 7:22 AM
I love the vintage/thrift store look, but I wouldn't want that in my house. It's too ratty. Apartment Therapy - Truck Tarp Ottoman from Anthropologie Flag this comment	11/19/07 2:22 PM
Mmm, bedroom eyes. This looks so cool! I would love to know the name of that paint color. I've been thinking of painting the bedroom green, and that green is perfect! Apartment Therapy - Flickr Finds: Solaana's Bedroom Eyes Flag this comment	11/19/07 7:36 AM
