Ahhh...people are so funny...everyone likes to search out reasons to get their panties in a ruffle over such minute matters and debate their point of view. Cool house...not my style but it looks like you have created a little slice of heaven for yourself and your family and that is really all that matters : ) I am sorry...am I not allowed to say heaven?

I just recently heard a Grahm Nash interview in which he talked about the song "Our House" and the day spent with Joni that inspired him to write it. I have always loved the song, and tried to imagine what this very, very, very fine house looked like! My imagination did it NO justice, as the warmth, coziness and love that exudes from this home far exceeds what I imagined! Thank you for sharing this magical space!

Anne1009, as a former apartment dweller and more recently, home owner; I appreciate that AT has categories for people who want to peruse apartments, and people who want to peruse homes. If you are unable to find inspiration from homes; simply click on the 'Tours' pull down tab in the upper left corner of the AT homepage and stick with the apartment category.

@ people wondering about the pendant lights outdoors. They are the Progress Lighting Canister light model SKU: P5675-82. Love this tour! My house has a similar vibe and we share some of the same furnishings...but Carol's architectural details are WAAAY cooler! I live in CT and the prevalent architectural style here is Colonial, Tudor, McMansion and Raised Ranch. Closest thing we could find to interesting architecture was a 60's Contemporary.

Rit is toxic. Not good to expose your skin on for long periods of time esp. not good when mixing with the oils on your fingers. This project seems like a bad idea. If you have that much time on your hands, why not just decoupage your silverware. It seems to make just as much sense as dying your "outdated" laptop.
Dyeing with Rit dye can be one way to salvage an otherwise stained garment or to obtain fabrics or yarns of the colors you desire. Care must be taken when using Rit dye; it is a chemical and is toxic when ingested, breathed or absorbed through the skin.

Much respect....

Great tour!

Yes to all of it! Now... I am off to research 'grey washed pine floors'. It is exactly the look I want for my sunny, walkout basement but never knew what it was called. Thank you for letting us peek into your beautiful home!

Seems weird to me...anything overdecorated seems weird to me. I have seen people repurpose toilets into flower planters on their front lawns as well as an old brass headboard planted in a flower bed...get it...flower bed. Ugh...it's like when someone takes an old broken chair, sticks it in a corner and tries to make a vignette out of it (maybe a stuffed bear, a stack of books and an old typewriter). I guess people really like to 'decorate' their stuff.

Stunning is an understatement!
