19th Fin de siecle Baudelairean bacchanal of holy f*ck! In short, I LOVE IT.

That said, where for the love of god did you get the sofa? I'm hunting for something similar, but everything is too small or too outrageously expensive (i.e. 10,000 smackers.) Thanks again for the loveliness and the creativity.

Vesla-- Do you have the name of the architect who made the outside room they use. I have similar allergiees and we've been looking into finding/building some outside space for our house. Thanks!

So when did people become so fussy about 'clutter?' I live in a classic 60s minimal-modern house, but I think this is GOR-geous. David Hicks was uber-cluttered and excellent, as is most "traditional" design. Or look at someone like Kelly Wearstler-- everyone goes gaga over her stuff; and, yet she's all about huge explosions of clutter. I don't like her style, but that's not because it's too busy, it's because it's hideous (to me.)

I think it's time for a reevalution and reassessment of the virtues and lesser vices of 'clutter.' Sometimes more is more-- sometimes less is more. Both work, don't you think?

Wait, did you paint the underside of your tub aqua-- or was I hallucinating? Either way, totally awesome.

And the IKEA policy-- also awesome.

Dreamy loveliness.

Unfortunately, I am terrible with plants. So this will just continue to be dreamy for me. :)

On that note maybe I should ask, do you have any tips or books/resources you recommend?

oh and forgive me the your vs you're mistake. multitasking is not my forte.

love it, but by god, that brown couch is terrifying.

Ubertacky.

and Luckygarnett--

That sister is tacky.

Canadian-- you can find amazing things on ebay but you have to refinish/paint them... or do like I do and find someone good (and inexpensive) to do it for you!

Torrin-- speaking of which-- what's the pale blue color paint you used on the dressers in your bedrooms. It's so perfect, like Swedish Gustavian. It's amazing.

Beautiful house and great jewelries. :)
