hello :) this place looks like a bad Fellini nightmare !!! I half expect Patsy and Edina to walk in, throw up and say "fabulous sweety"... And I hope that no, this is not a Lacroix... Seriously though, it seems to please a lot of people but for me, eikkkkk... I'd rather sleep in a Pontiac Aztek... Mario in Ottawa... Look!

hello :) ohmygod, I love the faded oriental rug !!! I just love how you notice it but not really because of the faded colors ? I bet it helps make the place more appealing from what little i can see. it's not too bright to overshadow everything but it's there to add color. what a wonderful find !!! of course i want one now :) and i love the wooden bench in the washer/dryer area. my dad made several of these when we had the cottage in the 70ies but my sisters all got them now and they don't want to part with them !!! and yes, i have made threats !!! your home really is beautiful and colorful without being too much to stand. it invites you to look and observe and spy things and smile. what a treat for guests i'm sure !!! lovely, just lovely !!!

hello, i have to say the only piece of furniture i like is the large round table in the kitchen area, but to pair it with such ugly patio-furniture-like chairs, my God !!! i also find the bed/jetson-style night stand combo a tad strange as well. and i would hate to sleep in that yellow bedroom... eikkk... but it's not my home and am just having my coffee and commenting out loud. no big woop... i'll just get off my soapbox now :) but, as always, if the people living there are happy, that's great !!! i am happy they have made their home a dream one :) Jen & Michael's Modern Retreat House Tour \| Apartment Therapy Boston Flag this comment	6/9/10 11:09 PM

Hello :) This is my first post and in a funny way, I just solved my first problem, night stands !!! I have an IKEA MALM series bed and a bedroom that's so small i have to leave just to change my mind... I only had 18 inches on either side of the side and with the bed being quite big, i wanted something small. Well, i bought 2 IKEA SOLSTA PÄLLBO footstools. They are just 15 inches wide, have a removable cover for easy washing. I replaced the cushion underneath with a piece of wood cut the same size so its perfect !!! I plan to have a piece of glass cut for the top, to protect the fabric. It was a cheap and nice-looking solution :) Mario :) http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/80109317 Small Space Solution: No Space Night Stands \| Apartment Therapy Los Angeles Flag this comment	6/6/10 12:48 PM
