My jaw just dropped. Literally. Oh, what a room. I can just imagine lingering there for hours with a bottle of wine and good friends ...

I will add to the chorus of those calling for a blue-tinged grey. We have the same colour of cabinets and countertops in our bathroom, and I hated them until we painted the walls a shade of grey with a blue undertone. Totally made the 'orange' in the cabinets look crisp, and now I love them. Good luck!

Love the pink, love the dog even more. Chinese Crested, perhaps?

Love this! A refreshing break from the MCM nurseries and the ubiquitous pompoms, bunting, and wall decals (all of which I like).

Where is the ceiling light fixture from? It's perfect for this space.

I too am in love with the mobile! Such a fun, bright room. Well done.

These are perfect. Simple, but effective.

You know, this is not something that I ever would have thought of doing myself, but having seen the after shot -- wow! The gold trim really makes it spectacular.

First off, so excited to see a fellow Poco resident on ohdeedoh! But more importantly -- great room. Checked out your blog and your daughter's room is fabulous, too. Nicely done!

Ditto to sarahe's comments. The only thing wrong with the Dyson is the sheer embarrassment it generates when emptying the canister (how could my home be *that* dirty)? The first time I used my new Dyson I had to empty it *three times* on one floor alone -- that's how much crap my old vacuum left behind.

I am completely in love with your house. I sheepishly admit that it also settles an argument between me and my husband. After a recent visit to the all-tile Harrod's food floor, he has wanted to tile our kitchen floor to ceiling. I insisted that could never work in a home. Oh, how very wrong I was!

I *lurv* these! First saw this collection while on vacation in Helsinki in August. They are gorgeous, and feel curiously modern, despite the folkloric motifs. I bought a couple of the blue mugs but now wish I had picked up the whole set.

I fell in love with the toikka birds while vacationing in Helsinki this summer (love, love, love the iittala store!). They are even more charming in person. By the way, although their web store does not do international shipping, they tell me that if you email the Helsinki store directly, they will ship internationally. Even with shipping charges, buying directly from iittala is still the best way to go.
