Katie is lovely. I ordered a sheet of Ms Ward and was surprised to find I was e-mailing with the designer. She was awesome and I had Ms Ward framed so I can enjoy it forever!

I love this tour - inspiring. So glad to see antiques being used and appreciated. Also, a welcome respite from "vintage" and "modern" tours. Finally, a place I would love to live and/or visit!

Don't do it!!! Seriously, it doesn't last and it will start to flake and look hideous!

The previous owner of my apartment did this and it look awful. Also, if you need to replace a tile due to plumbing or other situations you are tearing out painted grout and tiles and will have to have that area re-painted.

In addition you can't deep clean the tile if it stains b/c the paint will rub off.

I'm gutting my bathroom because of this situation. Painted tile combined with water damage = gut. It's upsetting because the tiles are original 1920's subway and there's no way to salvage them.

I lose the floor shelving. Push the table flush to the wall where the current shelving unit is and would put wall mounted railing style shelving above the table. it would open up the kitchen and you could add and subtract shelves as needed. Also, could use expedite boxes (or similar) to hide away spices, paper towels etc

Creatively re-purposed. Ingeniously lived in. I'm so glad to see something other than Eames inspired modern.

Silk Pillow - it is warm and rich like thick lather in a bathtub. Works beautifully with exposed brick b/c it has a hint of red and yellow.

Thank you for the link. Amazing. I wish newer buildings would include such detail.

Hello All~

Thank you so much for your suggestions.

This process is so overwhelming! Every weekend I'm tempted to buy a sledgehammer and just go for it - :)

Recently, I talked w/ a designer that I loved but who didn't have contractors available to do the work. Then I talked w/ a contractor 2 times who suddenly went MIA. My gut told me not to pursue him any further. He's still MIA.

I look forward to posting updates and (fingers crossed) a finished project.

Thanks again!

Sincerely,
Susan

I have the same hanging lamp as pictured left. It has yellowed and the metal has rusted some over the years. Any suggestions on how to clean and/or restore it?
