The clutter is certainly distracting, but as the article states, it's not about design but how a creative mind works and is inspired by its surroundings.

As an aside, I think it's not the waist, as it is the crotch of the pants that bother me. Much too low, but not enough to be considered drop crotch, giving the appearance of a 'full nappy'. How dreadful.

I'm just glad the 'den' fad is fading:
Aden, Jaden, Braden, etc.
Though I'm finding the 'son' craze creeping up on the horizon:
Grayson, Mason, Jason...

I thought this thread would be about something completely different.

Haha
I love poufs.

Okay, I get what everyone's saying here, and I agree to a certain degree, but I look at it this way; I would never ask someone to go out on a romantic dinner with me and show up wearing my old USC hoodie and pajama bottoms.

What I'm trying to say is when I entertain, I put my best foot forward, but never set myself up for failure by expecting perfection. I make do with what I have, but I make it awesome. I want my guests to know I made an effort, that I am celebrating them and that our time together is special, not just something I haphazardly threw together.

I guess the question that begs to be asked, in this case, is what type of party are you throwing? In most cases, it's more about the who than the where.

Dogs off the couch unless I'm there too. In which case, they go on my lap. Dogs in the bed are discouraged, but I'm the first to admit that some nights, there's nothing better than a pup to snuggle up to. Long story short, I'm an enabler.

The only other thing I've learned from all these posts is that cats are highly insubordinate. If I wanted something to ignore me and consume the food I buy and take over all my furniture, I'd get a teenager.

To each their own!

Those udden cabinet doors don't line up.

I just thought I'd throw that in to counteract all the positive comments! Haha. Awesome space. Thumbs up!

Clever storage solutions, that's for sure, but I'm still not sure how this holds up against some of the other teeny tiny entries. A wall of shoe cubbies hardly makes for a small/cool space. Where's the living area? And the kitchen? These are the things I want to see. It's hard to judge a home without seeing these crucial elements/spaces.

It seems you don't need my thumbs up since you're doing so well, but best of luck in the contest!

REGINA?

Wow. THIS is amazing.
Those suspended chairs? Holy $#%@.
This needs to win something.

Congratulations Bernard, you just totally blew my mind.

I think it was a house call, and yes, I never tire of seeing it either.

Best of luck! I expect this will do very well in S/C 2009.

The red accessories in your kitchen are mind blowing against that dreamy blue backdrop.

Great entry!
