Yes you are alone- I think Stephen's a cutie-patootie and I have no problem with his picture being included.

ohfercrissakes- DON'T put away the jewelry holder- I love the pop of color. It's a strong enough accent that can hold up to the red.

Nice job-the whole space looks amazeballs

AUTUMN- IKEA has online ordering? And if you see something that is not available for online ordering on their website you can call them and order using the item #'s listed in the catalog/website. I furnished a considerable amount of my apartment that way.

Absolutely amazing! Fresh, different, sexy and dramatic. The kitchen bamquet and bedroom ceiling are so different and fresh. I also liked the detail of the gallery walls that make the TV appear to be another piece of artwork.

It makes me laugh that the same people that complain about overly staged homes are now criticizing this guy for his broom and sponge. It's his home, not a freakin museum!

I could seriously feel my blood pressure dropping when I looked through the apartment pictures.

So calm, serene and elegant.

Just beautiful, and those blue chairs are an awesome pop of color.

I really like what you've done- kudos!

explain to me again how this is the World's Ugliest Condo?

The bathroom before was sorta meh and uninspired- but certainly not the worse I've ever seen or even lived with.

The after seems to have the same challenges that the kitchen does. Some great ideas but not enough attention to the details.

Great faucet that nothing else seems to be jibing with. IMHO, the knobs, mirror, and toilet paper holder have nothing to do with each other- it looks like someone just stuck a bunch of random parts together.

Overall- an improvement, but you still have a ways to go.

Just wonderful.

Interesting that the home is chock-a-block filled to the top with amazing textiles, colors, artwork, books and other good stuff but is also incredibly organized.

Quite inspirational.

Thank you for showing us your home.

(cute kids too!)

I'm really not understanding this question.

You want to keep out bugs and you are concerned about the safety of your family and you have babies/toddlers, why on God's green earth don't you just get screen doors?

I guess some of these other suggestions would at least partially work- but again- why on God's green earth don't you just get screen doors?


Keeping Bugs Out with Windows Open? Good Questions

So I commented yesterday that I HATE this article- I come back today to see if it's been removed but no- instead I see the little note pinned to the top:

"...We don't want to turn people off, but we do want to stretch the boundaries of how we cover the life of our home"

I am shocked and appalled at the breathtaking arrogance that assumes my boundries need to be stretched by a home decorating website.

Fail of epic proportions.


Why Does My Partner Watch Porn?

huh???

"Welcome to a new weekly column by the our own, super experienced professional in this home area, Evie Cohen."

She writes:

"On the other hand, for some people porn is a turn off."

evidently to your AT readers it is, judging from the comments.

And to add my voice to the chorus: I ***HATE***THIS!!!

I really like this. I particularly like the rocks and the bedroom wall, and the hidden storage solutions are innovative.

I don't really understand all the quibbling about how unlived in the space looks- he is following all of the AT rules and should be allowed a place in the competition as much as anyone else.

The photography is very good, btw.

wow

I've lingered over these pictures and am more impressed every time I look.

All of this love for the Egg chair and nary a mention of the couch? It's wonderful!

Love the rugs- and LOVE the bedroom. You've done such an amazing job-kudos!
