This is one of the best executions of the use of multiple colors and textures that I've ever seen. I really enjoyed this house tour.

We have a very similar esthetic, but your house is what my apartment wants to be when it grows up. Thanks for sharing your space with us. It's lovely!

@fannyekdahl, thank you for your post. I feel the same way and didn't know how to articulate my feelings. I remember another fashion blogger whose home was featured and I don't remember reading comments questioning her purchases. Quite frankly, I believe that some of the responses to this house tour are rooted in implicit biases of who is "allowed" to purchase certain items.

Sai's style is not my style, but I wholeheartedly love what she did for her place. I find it particularly commendable that she was able to purchase furnishings from discount stores and put things together so seamlessly. That was the first thing that stood out to me.

I wholeheartedly agree with @LaBelle Province. I'm happy to see these recommended!

I can't exactly explain why, but I simply love this space. There isn't one particular element that stands out to me. I suppose it's the place as a whole.

On another note, I'm noticing an uptick in the number of apartments featured outside of the US, and I'm really enjoying it.

I agree with the comments re: the preponderance of items in the apartment rather than the space itself. That said, I can tell that this is a great space. I, too, would have loved to see the workspace better. And I love Heather's hair! :)

I am an academic and I sort by color. I like how it looks and I'm still able to access what I need with ease.

I purchased these bookshelves from Target; they look lovely in my living room and I love the way they warm up the room: http://www.target.com/p/Carson-2-Shelf-Bookcase-Chestnut/-/A-11111066

I also really like this one: http://www.target.com/p/Avington-Low-Bookcase-Dark-Tobacco/-/A-10787463#?lnk=sc_qi_detaillink

Lol, I'm not alone in my love for Rachel Pally's dresses! This was a great house tour, and I have to echo what was mentioned earlier about this particular AT writer/photographer - your tours are the bomb! :-)

@Leo9, I'm fairly certain that that rug is from West Elm. I don't know if it's still available, though, and I don't remember its name. I just remember really liking it the first time I saw it on the site.

I loved this house tour - "chic eclectic" is a very fitting description. I love the textures, the colors, but most of all, I could feel the happiness and joy, if that makes any sense.

Also, I would be remiss if I didn't say that whoever photographed this home did a great job. It allowed me to get a sense of the rooms within the home itself. It was a job well done for a lovely home and family.

I had a feeling that someone would make a comment about the preponderance of furniture from less than a handful of stores, and I was right. But I must say, that kind of thing really doesn't bother me. If you find a store or two that perfectly reflects your aesthetic, then I say, do what you want! Personally I love this house tour. It's serene and lovely and very nicely put together.
