Oh, this is so fun. If all these "dislikes" really bother you then go to the "Gallery wall done right" post!

I agree with the hunter green, burgundy and navy combo. My dear friend still does this. (But don't worry she is still my friend LOL and I actually plant my butt in that ugly chair all the time!)
Overly ornate and floral. Actually, any floral print.
Too many family portraits, I'm getting dangerously close to having too many right now.
PS, I love a karate chopped pillow.

I think it looks great, even moreso because its for two people. Also, i kind of miss the old days here at AT when there were less lurkers and more really great advice.

First of all you need to keep the door open when you are not washing clothes, it help alot! Run a load of vinegar with hot water and also throw some baking soda, powder, ( I always forget which is which!)you know the one I mean, and run it with hot water too. Clean the rubber gasket too.

dakota, This happened to me as well. I used to be the biggest RH fan and shopped there almost weekly. I purchased items in store and online and in the outlet. I ordered a bed online and have been sleeping in it happily for at least 8 years. BUT I decided to order diningroom chairs online a year(?) or so ago maybe longer. I ordered them and then they simply never arrived. My order was pending online, when I called they said my order was cancelled and the product was unavailable but they still had the item online for months afterward (I checked). And my account still had the items as pending. I was concerned about RH chargeing my accout at some future time, I had to make them go in to wipe out the order which for some reason was practically impossible for them to do. I was so PO'ed i can't even tell you. That was the last time I dealt with RH.

I think it looks great as well, actually, I thought the counter top was new too for a minute there, I had to click back and forth a few times to see that it was not changed. It looks nice and fresh. I certainly couldn't do it for under 200 bucks either.

Typical Martha Stewart recipe. Looks amazing, beautiful! BUT I will bet you that these are either horrible or completely impossible to prepare.

The scale is way off, but it sounds like you are working on it. Table, chandelier: too small. Bookcase: too large. Paint job is awesome though!

I really hate that easle, I think you can get it from Restoration Hardware and its probably $5000.
It is too large, but I like the idea of it being able to swivle.

That pasta dish may apprear to look good, but the recipe is a bit screwed up. First of all, Martha stewart recipes suck big time, they are usually huge pains in the butt and then come out horrible. Croutons on pasta? No that just makes no sense. And then top it all off with a cold dallop or ricotta. Yuck, just yuck.

Not to go against the grain here and maybe its just the picture, but I am just not a huge fan of this room. If this wasn't a celebrity client and if someone did this themselves, I might give a little slack but its really just lackluster.
