the Room and Board console above (and others on their site) offer marble tops.

Why exactly do "such choices often seem unrealistic for actual homes, where actual people need actual sleep?" Dark walls create coziness for a cocoon-like feeling and heavy drapes block out street/sun light. I'm not sure how colorful bedding (as long as it's comfy) or oversized artwork (assuming it's not hung over your head or depicting nightmare-inducing images) could interfere with falling asleep in a dark room either. My bedroom is done in coordinating shades of deep purple/violet: walls, accent wallpaper, floor length silk taffeta drapes and bedding; black furniture, upholstery in cream, some art, and it is a very inviting room - even my husband likes it (and he doesn't like purple). To each his own, I guess...

I was going to start by saying to paint the walls to get rid of that green then I kept reading... A source list for you:
Ikea, Home Depot, Build it Green! NYC, Amazon. Forget a tile backsplash (the tiles won't cost you, but the labor will), focus on the floor, sink/cabinet, fridge and light fixture. Good luck.

"Bryan Admas's"? extra s, really? eww.

I loved his space! I, too, was surprised to see him in Elle Decor, but his home is so beautifully arranged and decorated I couldn't help but swoon over it, especially the basement guest bedroom.

Sorry, Mr. Dangerous, but the new comment policy will make the AT community you seek impossible to find. (Don't worry though, if I hate something, I'll say so.)
That said, I do think it makes complete sense to have size categories for the entries and that a space being "small" is truly subjective based upon use, occupancy, etc., but saying 1200sq. ft. is small is definitely pushing it.

the shelves are cute and, I agree, quite clever, but THIS is what you came back with from the AD show? There were some gorgeous designs: tiles, glass art, etc. Can we get some posts on the good stuff? I've been waiting all week.

THIS HOUSE IS GORGEOUS! (and I don't like MCM) I love the organic influences - I think they make the MCM less conspicuous. One thing: these people are flush, that's not a criticism, I'm happy that they somehow managed to pull off spending a boatload of money and making it look livable and down to earth. Good job!

ugh.

that kitchen is awesome! great use of space and I'm a big fan of the floor to ceiling counter depth cabinets next to the fridge, it gives the fridge a built-in look without looking like the traditional suburban perfect built-in monster. what made you choose the summit vs. the fisher & paykel or similar models?

thanks for the link to all her ode to deco posts! awesome!
