Love the tiles. I think it looks grand with the white mantle - the black is okay too but maybe a bit overpowering. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| Good Questions: Refacing the FireplaceLos Angeles Flag this comment	8/28/08 2:29 PM
Please don't paint. It's beautiful and light and full of texture and character just as it is. Apartment Therapy Chicago \| Good Questions: Should We Paint the Brick and Timber? Flag this comment	8/28/08 2:24 PM
Um, my nightstand is a pile of house magazines. It kind of happened accidentally because I didn't have any furniture apart from my futon and a table and chairs when I moved in, but I'm actually quite happy with it. And because I have a futon so I'm very close to the ground. On the other side of the bed, I have a stack of dictionaries.

@gustaf, that's totally unhelpful. To my eyes, it looks lovely and sunny and warm and friendly. I like the way you've separated the bed from the couch. Definitely cool. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| Southwest #33: Rebecca's Koreatown Sanctuary Flag this comment	4/27/08 11:48 AM
I don't understand this contest. Apartment Therapy New York \| East #36: Colleen's Petite Pad Flag this comment	4/27/08 11:28 AM
@leanne, the shelf is a grill and the "wings" are handles to take the grill tray in and out. They're designed like that so you can enjoy the smell when you're grilling bacon... or something like that.

I love it. It looks like a place for lazy mornings and long relaxing conversations. I think it's beautifully dishevelled. Apartment Therapy New York \| International #11: Andreas' Minimal Studio Flag this comment	4/24/08 12:15 PM
Is that a light bulb on a super-long cord hanging to the right of the sofa? Super-cool. Apartment Therapy New York \| International #8: Nicolas' Mini Loft Flag this comment	4/24/08 11:58 AM
In France you're looking at about 150 to 600 euros in somewhere like Leroy Merlin or Castorama (I've never been to the States but from reading AT I guess that would be like Home Depot). "Designer" towel rails can easily go into the thousands. Apartment Therapy Chicago \| Best of KBIS: Towel Radiators by Runtal#comments Flag this comment	4/23/08 1:09 PM

Heh. Apologies, but I'm an editor/proofer by trade.... :) Apartment Therapy New York \| Today's Email: Masters at the Art of Living - Gerald & Sara Murphy Flag this comment	4/23/08 11:50 AM
"Masters", please! Unless, of course, the title is meant to be "Master has at the art of living" or "Master is at the art of living". Apartment Therapy New York \| Today's Email: Master's at the Art of Living - Gerald & Sara Murphy Flag this comment	4/23/08 11:15 AM
I'd be worried about getting tipsy at dinner and laughing a little too loudly and tipping back in my chair just a leetle too far.... :) Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| Southwest #24: Lincoln's Three and a Half Stories Flag this comment	4/22/08 1:00 PM
I'm intrigued by that super-cool champagne-flute-flower-holder on the table... Apartment Therapy Chicago \| Midwest #19: Adisorn's Lakeview Home Flag this comment	4/22/08 12:17 PM

Wow - that green trim in the den is awesome. And if you're ever looking for a new home for your dining table and chairs... :) Apartment Therapy San Francisco \| SF House Tour: Ken's Curated California Collection Flag this comment	4/22/08 11:40 AM

Hey, sorry to see you got a bashing from some of the cretins who are posting such insightful, useful, vicious comments on these competition entries. Anyway, just wanted to say I really like the square frames you have by your dresser. You mentioned you can't paint but it looks like your walls are already white... Have you thought about painting magnetic paint on the walls and then slapping some white back on top to make sure you get your deposit back? Could be a fun way to get more "picture" space that would be easy to switch around and free up some space on your shelves. http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/at-home-cure/rebeccas-cure-week-15-magnetic-paint-048438 Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| Southwest #15: Jodie Ann's Nice Nest Flag this comment	4/18/08 1:12 PM
