It really just looks like there is a kudu hiding behind the couch; I like it.

I'm sure it's WORLDLY. Also - this house is the most fabulous thing I've ever seen. It's what I see in my vision of a home but can never translate into my actual space. Love it!

What about vintage library card catologue? Lots of little drawers to organize clasps etc. in. They seem pretty common considering they're no longer used.

Ah yes, the $221 wooden bowl/soon-to-be-chew-toy.

Very classy though, I like the idea.

Nope, not for me. I love the smaller subway tiles, but this reminds me of the painted cinderblock walls of a highschool, or a hospital.

WHAT! This is insane. I just have thoughts of running and sliding across the floor in really slippery socks.

I REALLY REALLY LOVE IT!

I thought I liked the before until I saw the after! I love the warmth and textiles, and whites, AND FIREPLACE. It seems like a bedroom you'd never want to leave. The wooden bench is to die for. Great job!

I do love the gray paint in the first pic, but she wasn't feelin it in the bedroom and there's nothing wrong with that.

I would love a source on that large pillow (or pillow cover) with the orange/black/white/yellow design??

These comments are hilarious; I love it. I personally adore cowhide rugs, but what @0tk421 said! I'm not sure I'll be able to look at them the same way anymore.

How about on the ceiling!? Between support beams perhaps. Love the cost effectiveness of this.

Does anyone know what kind of wood these pallets are made out of? Are they substantial enough to refinish and use on the floor?

@kimg924 and @Vacationland thank you for the great suggestions.

I love the Corn Plant and the Madagascar Dragon

Any suggestions for a large plant/tree that needs very little sunlight? I have a great apartment but my windows face east and there are huge trees outside of them.

PLEASE tell me the name of the paint color in the kitchen! I want to put it on everything.

I appreciate that every item is not pristine and new (like the living room chair) it brings it down to a more realistic level. I don't have an endless budget, but I bet I could manage something like this. This house is fabulous, and comfortable. It looks like someone actually LIVES in it. I love it.

And I love the sheets.

Amazing house! There are so many great possibilities for design. The wood isn't too atrocious, although my taste lies in dark wood as well. I might suggest a slate floor on the main level. At least in the kitchen and around the fireplace.

It's a really cool look that blends a natural element with a modern style. Plus the paint options are endless! I would NOT stay with white, ultimately. Grays or taupes definitely.

Does anyone know if you can paint a fireplace like that? It would be cool to do a pop of color instead of white.

Then updating the fixtures, they're a little dated, but that's an easy fix.

Throw down some great woven rugs and the rest of the house speaks for itself!
