ChicagoNancy's Profile

I used to work at a charity for the homeless where a number of the social workers were huge fans of reality television. People who lead stressful lives enjoy escapist entertainment. No harm in that.

I'm a huge Martyn Lawrence Bullard fan. However, I suspect that after all the contrived drama and fighting on the other reality shows that the same nonsense on a decorating show will seem particularly silly. The stuff about having only five minutes to finish the big project before the client/judge will get there has been done to death.

Those circus posters are outstanding.

Um, right. The bathroom theme was clearly intended in a respectful, biblical way. Also, the "it's not your home" argument is always lame on a site that offers up homes for observation and comment.

I have to respectfully disagree with quirkyliz. This place is great and Alexis has terrific style but readers can't pretend the big Keep Calm sign isn't there.

My favorite places are the ones like this that have me craving more photos. This place is really small yet I want to steal so many ideas.

Outstanding. Steve got everything right. Just wish we could get a better look at that kitchen wall on the left.

This place is so inspired and original it makes me want to toss out everything I own and start over.

Excellent! I'm nuts about that scissors clock.

Are the "Keep Calm and Carry On" signs some kind of inside joke among AT readers? I don't get it. I give up. They are in EVERY home.
