Try American Tuna. The cans are BPA free, the fish are young and less likely to have traceable mercury levels, and the fish is pole caught by one of six fishing families. It's the steak of tuna! Not an ad--just a big fan. Pricey but worth it. Yum.

I admire your determination, as well as your very particular vision for this space. When you are older and richer, I'll look forward to seeing what you do then, too. Thumbs up!

What a great job! And whoever did your photography did a lovely job too.

Great space! Are those pictures on the upper corner of the wall? They look neat shown that way.

Really, really lovely. Would enjoy more pictures of details--re entry, storage, bathroom. I love how you've altered this space. The wood floors give it an essential warmth--almost like a piece of fine furniture. Thanks for sharing and good luck!

I'm with SallyMac--this space really appeals to the Shaker in me. I don't find it cold--the beauty of individual pieces (like that sofa) shine through when they are as carefully selected and placed as this. There is a rug in front of the bed with lots of color--I suspect that it is a standout when one sees it in person. A bigger one would be even better. And I would love to know where you found those chairs in the LR. My only quibble is with cord management: with no visual clutter to mask them, every detail stands out. If you haven't checked out the Chez Larsson blog, I think you would like it. Here are some relevant posts:

Full tour please! Am eager to see what the redone bath and kitchen look like. This home is small but lives large. Elegant. Unafraid of color. A winner.

A cosy, charming home. Kudos to you for keeping that terrific sofa and working with it until a great idea for the arrangement came to you.

That pop of pink in the living room (the coffee table) is genius. Were you inspired by the cartography or were you just inspired, period?

Would love to see more of this home! imaginative arrangement of the spaces we can see. Love the colors--would appreciate a full house tour--especially with some brighter lighting. Where did you get those great yellow chairs? And the sofa?

I like how you've used a similar color palette throughout--great for visual continuity in a small space! The office is especially nice. And those blocks of green: are they paint or decals?

hey--those are cool lamps in the bedroom. Are they a DYI change up--or did they come like that? Thanks--enjoyed seeing your space.

Love this. There are similar 1970's townhouses in my area that would benefit from such sensitive redux.

Lovely post! As a former bookseller, I knew about some of these editions but not all of them. Bookmarked. ;)
