According to the linked article, the upper part was -- inexplicably -- "trashed."

A shame.

My local weatherman could use one of these.
Or, an office with a window.

Overall, I find AT's censorship practices more offensive than any comments.

The censorship is not applied fairly, even by AT's own standards. If it were, then many of those nasty comments people are talking about would never have been seen and would not be the subject of this discussion.

I'm talking not about the comments that appear and then almost immediately disappear (and many of these are innocuous). I'm speaking of those comments that are gratuitously mean and/or offensive and yet are allowed to remain. Guess it must be good for business. After all, that's what AT is -- a business. The advertisers must love a good comment-fest, no matter the tone/subject matter.

Let's see how long this comment stays published.

I love board+batten (am thinking of doing it for the outside of my house) BUT, as others have said, its craftsman-style look doesn't gibe well with the current mix of furnishings in the room. Still, good job.

Actually, the original Dutch name for the painting is "Het Meisje met de Parel." Translated to English, it's "The Girl With the Pearl."

Too much art?

Excuse me, what did you say?

I'm sorry. I don't understand.

What language are you speaking?

Hey AT: maybe put this post in the tickler file and resurrect it in 2020 and we can all have a good laugh... or not!

Where did you obtain the image? That would seem a logical starting point for determining a source for the console.

Otherwise, if you find something you like that is too tall, you could chop the legs to the desired length. The legs shown look to be straight-cut on the bottom.

@Quinnykins: yes, here in the US we also call them walls, as funstraw says! LOL.

Very strange that the poster should refer to this as a "fence" -- eight times, no less, in a short post. The more so, when, in the article referenced, this lovely structure is (repeatedly and correctly) referred to as a wall.

Be that as it may... a few years ago I was lucky enough to visit Kenmare, Ireland, home of Cromwell's Bridge -- a 300+ year old arched pedestrian bridge, amazingly built sans mortar.

Monochromatic means one color.
This room is two colors -- if you can call black and white 'colors.'
And why are we seeing this during the so-called Color Cure? This seems to be the opposite.

I DREAM of the day when I will find something half this amazing underneath the 'improvements' (vinyl siding, acoustic tile ceilings, etc.) to my 200+ yr. old farmhouse.
Lucky you!!!

I love the tiles.

Also, her "best advice" about doing what you want and not worrying about resale value.

Also, that she credited the artists whose works are shown.

Thanks!

How timely... I just finished reading this book yesterday!
It was indeed a good read. Ms. Daum writes well. However I would question that she has, as the poster states, "amazing recall about her every move."
I found her recall to be amazing in places, but almost unbelievably lacking in others. She uses the phrase "I can't remember..." very often, and in surprising circumstances, esp. considering the things she DOES recall.
Still, I would recommend this book to the AT community.
