I've seen it in person at one of the building's open house events, and the pictures don't do it justice...its fan-effing-tastic! I do interiors for a living and was amazed by the fearless way he put together an approachable yet over-the-top environment. Great job!

Just leave it alone. Not every horizontal space needs to be covered. A small kitchen is best when everything is edited down to attractive and functional items you actually use!

Forgot to mention that I've also used Behr Swiss Coffee. White with a hint of yellow, so it warms it up slightly. It's a good white if the Ultra Pure White is TOO white.

Stunning! Expensive...of course...its New York! But look how it added to their living space. And the views! Inspiring and very well done!

I love Ikea...great affordable design that really is the "gateway drug" for better quality furniture at some point in ones life. That being said, any one of the photos could have been in my local Ikea store, so they don't seem much like makeovers...more like photos that didn't make the catalog.

I understand that painting the entire place isn't an option, but I feel that whatever you do to the front door will only make the areas you don't address look worse. The trim and corbels need help as does the brick veneer on the step. That being said, I think a very dark glossy charcoal would be great.

Stripping and staining the door should be an option as well. The stained door would be more in line with the architectural style of the house and would also highlight the wrought iron detail.

Larger black address numbers placed on the brick would be a good addition...they're hard to see so low on the door.

You've got a great looking place that only needs a little TLC! Good luck!

Shameless plug, NiceModernArt.com!

NO! to the first photo. Not wholly cool, just weird.

Photo #3 is good...the repetition in the plant material and pots along with the graphic feel of the repeated placement is nicely done.

They look great, but not on their sides as shown in the first photo. Difficult to water and the plants still want to grow up, not at an angle. That said, they really enhance the sculptural feel of the succulents.

I think the problem with the photo is that the technology makes the lighting placement scream out "Look at me!" I think it would be better used in a club or restaurant as a great way to create some visual interest, but in a home...not so much. That being said, judicious use of LED lighting might be an interesting way to accent behind a flat screen or in a bookcase as long as it is part of an entire lighting plan. And probably no colored lights.
