I too, have coveted this piece for a while. It's stunning but we simply have no room for it.

If by any chance you're in the LA/Orange County area, a floor sample happens to be on sale at one of my favorite independent shops: http://citylifehome.com/?portfolio=gate-armoire-2

Lovely, lovely home. Fantastic job.

Is that a signed French Laundry menu on the fridge??? Why not frame it?

The charm and beauty of this city surpassed my expectations, even in its frozen state in early January! I couldn't agree more about the pizza...corn as a topping is genius! Beware, I spied an Ed Hardy shop in the city center.

I recently inherited two 80's bathrooms. One has olive branch wallpaper and brass fixtures and hardware so we now call it "Caesar's Palace West." The other is mauve/peach-ish with about 200 globe vanity lights, a huge wall-to-tall beveled mirror and black/brass fixtures. So I've found brass accessories (vintage trays, perfume holders, etc.) to play it up including a Ralph Nagel print. Why not have some fun until we come up with the funds to do the remodel that we want? Our friends get such a kick when they get transformed back to days of "fun and fancy free."

We just purchased a home with two 80's bathrooms, complete with brass shower door frames, brass/white and brass/black fixtures, matching towel rods and holders and wait for it...wallpaper. We have no choice but to live with it until we can afford a proper remodel (with chrome finishes please!) so we've had to embrace the look. I just picked up a Thomas Nagel print from the flea to compliment the theme!

Not sure if that's a regular canvas or perhaps this lightbox: http://onestopmodern.com/duffy-lightbox-green-p-3617.html

May I just add that it's not worth $425. I purchased it and had to return it due to the lack of craftsmanship. It looked absolutely bitchin' and I agonized over my decision, but in the end I couldn't justify the cost.

I spent the last day of my New Year's eve vacation in London, in bed, feeling under the weather. As soon as I felt better that evening, I pulled myself out of bed and made my way directly to Regent Street to do some pressure shopping at Habitat. (Bonus: two doors down was Zara Home!) I picked up a couple of things that I had been eying online back home in LA only to find out at the checkout that my items were 75% off!

I, too, love it as is. I spotted one of these rockers (no ottoman) last year but couldn't stomach the $2,000 price tag. But what you have is a great heirloom.

Terrific place and I don't mind the clutter at all. Incredible built-ins. And like yul, I thought I saw a dead bird as well (photo #20)!
