Also loving your home over here! I'm crazy about the bed you chose. Was that new or a vintage find? If new, can you source it for us? Thank you again! Judy's Sunny Stylish Family HomeHouse Tour \| Apartment Therapy Chicago Flag this comment	12/13/09 12:11 AM
Chu-- Your "twig-shelf-lamp" piece is gorgeous! You've got a great eye for shape and color. Thanks for documenting the entire process. I can't always break down a WOW effect into its component parts, but you made it easy to understand. Apartment Therapy New York \| Roomarks: Inspirational Interiorssubmit your own...

Anything that looks this wacky has my vote. Just knowing it's out there somewhere as a real object makes me happy. Apartment Therapy New York \| Portable Hot Tub: The DutchtubEmail from 7.1.08 Flag this comment	7/10/08 3:26 PM
These rooms look wonderful, to my eye. I think it's important to add, though, that much of the charm (for those of us who find it charming) comes from the contrast between the childish scribbles and the drop dead pre-war apartment surrounding them. Nothing like high ceilings and gorgeous moldings to lend a hip, ironic vibe to furnishings that in my (much smaller) living room would look . . . well, not at all ironic. Setting here is key. I like playful and elegant together; takes the edge off the self-conscious wealth aspect of this place.

Intellectually it's fun and new. Visually, not for me. Apartment Therapy New York \| Wall Drawings from DomesticParis Flag this comment	7/10/08 3:00 PM
Thanks, Kiwi, for that link to the designer's website. Delightful! Made my heart skip about for joy. Design on a dime can be so... happy. Good Questions: Help Me Find This Wallpaper? Flag this comment	5/19/07 9:44 AM
For all fans of the PB Lewis headboard: extra slipcovers are on sale right now; $50/queen (regular price $200)! Good Questions: Headboard or no Headboard? Flag this comment	4/5/07 7:55 PM
dmoney, Thank you so much! That Wal-Mart headboard looks pretty darn cool, I must say, and what a great price! BTW, Wal-Mart's site had far more product info than any Target item online. I would never have thought of Wal-Mart--you are a genius. Open Thread 405 Flag this comment	4/5/07 7:04 PM
Ok, the headboard evidence is in, for anyone else out there who is looking: West Elm had the best option for me. In fact, several, including a cool headboard that turns the corner to give you a sense of being held protectively by the bed. Both were reasonably priced too. And available in a few neutral shades. PB's Lewis was, at 55," too tall for my hardwired swing-arm lamps (BTW, if anyone already has a Lewis, extra slipcovers are on a killer sale, $50/queen down from $200). I tested how far up the wall my head comes when sitting up on the bed & decided that 50" high is ideal. 55" is wasted on a shortie like me, but 42" (West Elm) feels a bit too short. I'm the Goldilocks of the padded headboard set. Brocade's was only available in queen in one non-happy fabric (although I fell--hard--for the ribbon bed spread in white), Ballard's was on the thin/ cheap side, and Urban Outfitters had only lime green & deep blue velvet. Target has a big selection, for sure, but the customer reviews indicate poor quality control /consistency. Scared me off. More than you needed to know, I bet. Thanks to you guys for the help.

Thank you Patrick (t.o.o.) , elevenhounds, I Love Upstate, & Alex in DC! Great ideas and reminders. I'm going to go investigate. Best thing to do on a rainy grey day. Open Thread 405 Flag this comment	4/4/07 9:01 AM
Hi all, First poster here--I'm avidly reading this thread (and earlier ones), and learning a lot. Thanks to all. I just finished doing up a teeny tiny BR as a dressing room (ooh la la, it's a jewel) and am encouraged to finally tackle our BR. Does anyone have ideas, comments, or resource leads for headboards? I've drooled over lovely expensive ones (some I saw here), both wood and padded... French-influenced would be my taste, while dh wants comfort & utility first. Budget is an issue; we won't be making an investment purchase this year. The solution needs to come in not much higher than $500. Thanks! Open Thread 405 Flag this comment	4/3/07 8:21 PM
