What a wonderful abode. Comfortable, moody and romantic.

Jaw-droppingly stunning in every large, character-filled room. I'm in awe at the beauty of the architecture and the taste of the owners.

I would love to entertain more. I have this fantasy about effortless entertaining, my house filled with friends all the time. Some people seem to be able to do this. I cannot. I entertain very rarely, in fact. With my busy work schedule as a writer, my house is a mess most of the time. Having people over is just too much work and stress. It's a major production. When I do have a dinner party, I'm usually sorry about it the day before because I'm in a panic about it and I have to work like a dog to get everything done. I'm usually happy with the result, but it's just too much work. Wish it was different.

Guys, you have exquisite taste. Your use of charcoal gray throughout is an inspiration.

There's so much creativity and heart in this home. My favorite piece is the framed vintage postcards. Very inspiring.

My favorite thing is the antique buffet table with that weathered finish next to the powder blue wall with super modern art over it. The table just pops like a piece of sculpture. One of the freshest uses of an ornate vintage piece I can remember seeing.

I don't think there is a single thing I don't absolutely love about this apartment, from the leather furniture to the dark moody color on the walls to the eclectic art and use of textiles. Someone hire Evan! Impeccable taste.

The walls in my living room and dining room, which open to each other but are separated by crown molding, etc. are lavender. The ceiling in my living room is a lighter shade of lavender and the ceiling in the dining room is a lavender shade that's darker than the walls. So there's continuity and separation at the same time. It looks great.

I agree, this color combo is delicious. IMO, throw just a touch of black into the mix and you've got heaven.

This is a charming, lovely and personal space. Is the branch and leaf stencil a stencil or a decal? Where did you get it? Thanks!

Nice use of dark, moody colors on the walls.

I especially like the graphic chevron rug, the art collection over the leather chair and the "headboard"/lighting treatment in the bedroom.

I thought the bicycle would be the most expensive and the portrait the least! I was way off!

Very nice, personal space. I especially like the big living room lamp, the combo of the rustic wood dining room table and retro metal chairs, and the portrait of the woman.

I especially like your romantic, pretty dining rooom (that pale blue!) and your outdoor space. And the sweet puppies!

I'm inspired by the art over your dresser. It looks like vintage postcards? Also, I love your handmade comforter!!

Really nice juxtaposition of earthy and romantic elements. I especially like the large-scale wallpaper in the entryway and the dining room picture gallery.

Wow, I can't wait to try this unscented alternative. Thanks. To ladymantle: Sometimes home smells do not come from garbage!

I had the same exact thought as ChicagoD--the art is too high. Otherwise, this apartment is adorable. Why do so many people, including interior designers, hang art so high? It's a pet peeve of mine. It looks so much better hung low!
