Absoloutely restore it - somehow - it is too gorgeous & unique not to!
I can't say I've even ever SEEN a chair like that! Depending on your decor, you could even have a bit of a go at DIY ala what I did here with an oppy chair: http://punkysmamma.blogspot.com/2009/10/my-creative-space_08.html
Or even just patch up the bursting apart parts & cover it with a slip on cover...? Whatever you decide, I beg you to keep it..! (or send it my way... hehe)

Yep, this is awesome.

I love the living area - especially the huge "Station" lettering, and the light filled inside/outside kids play area. And everything, pretty much.

Oh it's so cute & cozy - I love it!

I love SO MUCH about it... the bedrooms are standouts for me, but I have MUCH LOVE for that telephone & telephone table!

Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

"I'm sure the owners find it a comfortable home but how was this house featured on a design blog?"

My point exactly. I'm not saying they shouldn't love their house or that they haven't made a bit of an effort... but when I take the time to check out a house tour on a design blog, I expect it to be something with a bit of "Wow".

HollaDC; If you want inspiration on what to do to rentals, there are a million better ideas & spaces than this, what is that saying, harsh but true?

One of the most uninspiring house tours I have ever seen. Nothing seems to tie together, and the only nice piece as far as I can tell is the credenza - which is let down by the plain jane kitchen it is situated next to.

I know that when using vintage & thrifted pieces, co-ordinating rooms can be hard, but it can be done.

So many things I am bursting to talk about, but I'm heading my Mother's advice & saying nothing at all.
