I'm completely and utterly smitten... especially with the colors. Wow.

The area just to the right of the stove does look sort of awkward... what about placing a bar cart or bar cabinet (my immediate thought was a corner cabinet placed to face the living area & mirroring the angle of the chair on the other side of the fireplace) in that space? If it suits your lifestyle, it could make for a smoother transition between the kitchen & living areas.

i need that bird in my life. didn't the mag credit the art?

I also give my plants a shower 2-3 times a year. This not only cleans the leaves, but helps flush out minerals/salts that accumulate in the pots and can have detrimental effects in the long run.

mmm... those concrete walls make me weak in the knees.

something like this http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/chicago/how-to/morgans-diy-plumbing-pipe-shelving-097760 could be made to fit that space.

I'm deeply in love with that exact same bookcase. It's made by Roost, and is really gorgeous in person. I think part of the reason it's so pricy is because the railroad ties are antique & sourced from India--from a time/place where creosote wasn't used to treat the wood. Most newer/American ties are treated & this makes them poisonous... rather unsuitable for furniture.

The frame of it is really straightforward, and I've thought of finding a welder who could reproduce it, then using some other kind of rustic-looking wood for the shelves: salvaged barn planks or live edge would look great.
