Mela's Profile

Other than the decals outside of the kid's room, and the loads of barbies (but that's personal), and the living room picture hanging too high, I don't think this apartment is as bad as people are making it. I agree that the living room could use a coffee table in the middle to break up the "against the wall" alignment, but otherwise, they have some fun things and neat vintage items. I love the grey paint and ceiling fixture!

I saw this a few days back on a web site. It really disgusts me. What a waste, no matter what "eco" planning they did to cool down the building. Apparently, they don't believe they need to do any "good" karma from the fortunate position they are in to have made real differences in their own backyard.

Why do I have the impression he just stepped into lilliput-ville? The feet look awfully scrunched up under that teensy coffee table.

A nice big block of colorful, geometric, spanish tile behind it would be beautiful! I'd go with a neutral stone colored base.

I used to use an electric for years on the recommendation of my dentist and, I'd suppose the trend. However, the last 6 months, I switched back to manual. I find I'm more attentive to brushing with a manual. I get lazy with the electric and don't allow it to brush long enough. Plus, I like the larger surface area of bristles on a manual. And a manual is a lot cheaper than continuing to buy those refill tips!

The light is a Cellula. You can find it at DWR. I'ts pretty pricey.. get it from another seller. I love that light and have dreamed of one day owning one myself!

They really should use green potsl. They look funny floating mid-terrace.

Interesting idea, but looks rather jungle-like. A few neatly placed terra cotta pots with nicely trimmed plants, would make it look fantastic. A simple hierarchy of tall to short on either side (or both sides) of the terrace would do. If they really want a fence-type planting, finish the middle with a neat row of planters.

I think a Cellula chandelier would look awesome there. But they are going to run you a couple thousand. I'm trying to get one myself. Or a knock off (must they be swarovski??).

Oh, those other Le Klint pendant lamps are nice shapes too. and not a bad price. Still.. is 100 watts enough in such an enclosed pendant? I'm all for ambiance, but I also need to see if I work on the table!

Love the chalkboard walls with the chalked in curtain swags! great fun! :) By the way, what area is this apartment in?
