Cara Russe's Profile

Beautiful... so peaceful, stylish and playful! And your photography is amazing. Congratulations!

I am green with envy over the amount of space! So many rooms to play with! I don't remember seen mid-century furniture being *used* and looking so lived in/livable. I also love the antique/ethnic pieces mixed with the MCM. This home looks so true and cozy. Congrats!

I too prefer proper spelling (especially on things that are published!) but darn people can be so mean about it! :)

add me to the list of people who don't love the deer head BUT otherwise you have a beautiful space -- i'm sighing over the very organized bookshelf and pondering how you can have a ton of books without them interfering with the flow of energy in a space. thanks for the inspiration!

I love all the cozy chairs and nooks, and love the ceiling and the textures all over the house. From the description I was afraid it would be a cluttered "thrift junk" place, but the owner has done a fantastic job of choosing just the right objects and keeping the color scheme neutral so nothing really overwhelms. Great control here!

my favorite color here: white. i love how it's used as the backdrop for the color explosion. makes it feel controlled and artful. and the pink toilet paper made me smile. the whole tour just makes you feel happy! for me, personally, there's too much *stuff* everywhere, but if i got invited for a tour and a drink i think i would really enjoy it! congratulations on your very
unique space :)

There is so much comfort and style packed in this home... I can hardly stand it! :)

Many things to love about this place. I'm personally taken with the artwork with the 3 panels. Is it a unique piece, and if so who made it?

baba yaga: I realized later that I misread your post (and pmaher's too for that matter). "I doubt you can teach a chair anything" was a play on my misspelling, not a personal attack implying that if I can't spell I'm too dumb to teach, which is where my exhausted, sleep- deprived brain took it. Clearly I can't neither spell nor read this week... so much for effing smart, lol. Sorry.

pmaher and baba yaga - and I'm writing a doctoral dissertation at Harvard. Not sarcasm, a fact. Perhaps I couldn't teach a chair anything but I teach Harvard undergrads. Thanks. You'd be amazed how many people I don't call on their typos or other stupid comments on blogs for that matter.
