I've never been introduced to Professor Layton, but I definitely want to give it a whirl now. And anything British makes me swoon. One quibble, though. It's an orange teapot, not a tea kettle, right?

We have deep, deep charcoal walls (I remember the color was "man cave," can't remember who made it) in our bedroom, and I love them. The white molding looks crisp, and the art pops right off the walls. Our bedding looks brighter too.

I agree that the color of the wood in the "before" shot is great, but this is a nice reinterpretation of a beautiful chair. And that upholstery needed to go!

Incidentally, what is it about dressing rooms that elicits such negative responses and judgments about how many shoes a person should have and how he or she should use space? Is it indulgent to have a wine cellar or a game room too?

Thanks AT for posting about a fabulous designer! I love hearing about creative minds like this. And I love that table!

As a former curator, I agree that the word "curate" is inappropriately used in this context. Curating is not merely editing or putting a room together well. There is also a significant research element involved as well as years and years of education and preparation for the job.

I also agree that shots showing the layout of the flat would be lovely, but London is full of tight spaces that are difficult to photograph. My first flat there could never be photographed properly because it was practically microscopic.

Wow. This is stunning and by far my favorite house tour on AT. As a graduate student working on an art history dissertation, I appreciate a house that actually deals elegantly with the problem of book storage, and I am taking notes here. My bedroom is a very similar color, and I even have nearly identical dried yellow flowers hanging on the wall from our wedding. Regarding the art over the TV, did someone blow up a detail of Munch's The Scream and frame it? Again, the art geek loves it.

Love the OTO unit, but the academic in me wants to snatch those books away and shelve them upright on a flat surface. The curved shelf is awful for the bindings and will wreck your books in no time.
