Umm, what was the artist going for with Nelson Mandela's face on the Beaver toy? I'm serious. If the owners know, please clue me in. Thanks

We were teased with difficulty of hanging the the 13 foot sculpture over the stairs. He said most proud of it and then....no pic? Wha...huh?

Nicely done. Just wondering why they decided not to use all the available space nook space between the door and fireplace. Wall to wall shelves would have added a bit more storage. The shelves looked maxed out already.
Wondering if there is was a particular reason we can't see.

Phew...I was a little concerned I wasn't going to see Marwencol posted.

The Eww and Gak were because everything in these photos looks cheap, mass produced and poorly made (w/the exception of the vintage chair and possibly some rugs).
It all looks like it's going to end up in the landfill in a season or two.
I don't live in NYC, don't have access to great flea markets and don't believe in spending a fortune on "stuff."
I can appreciate ALL styles when done with creativity, thought and personality. None of those items have any special meaning to anyone. Why not live WITHOUT the cheap accessory until you find something that really speaks to you, means something to you or you created on your own.
You can find things at thrift stores and on craigslist. Save money and keep stuff out of landfills. Shouldn't your home reflect your personality and life?
If you can find a great deal on something at Home Goods, good for you! I just see too many people who have rush out and fill their house with things that have no meaning to them. Then soon tire of it.
You don't have to spend a ton of money to have good quality items, that mean something to you. Really, I don't see any treasure in these pics. Unless, the ONE and only vintage chair was under $10.

That looks like one fun, happy home! I would have loved to have grown up in a house like that.

Love the windows! I too, think roller shades would work best mounted at the the top bar. No one would be able to see in at the top. Shades would be the cleanest, sleekest look and the easiest. They go up and down with one tug. Folding screens would be a hassle to move into and out of place everytime you need privacy. Solar shades are great for day (even give some privacy) but, it's the reverse at night. With the lights on you can see in. I know, I have them.

We recently replaced 3 - 1.6GPF American Standards with Toto's Aquias. We bought them online and were a little worried not having been able to see them in person first. But, we could not find one dual flush model in a store or showroom in the greater Seattle area. How weird is that? Anyway, they look better in person, with simple lines and smaller than we'd thought. They work so much better than the American Standards they replaced! They cost a lot more than those. However, they were much less expensive than most of the other dual flushes out there. Yay, TOTO!
