Sorry, Lady J, I just realized that what I wrote could be taken as a stab. It isn't meant to be one, I apologize.

This site is about style, and everyone has their own, including of how to read and appreciate art, and I think it is very easy for this to be a vibrant community without ruining people's experience, as there are tonnes of metaphors that aren't close to the line, that would help us talk about bedbugs.

Speaking of which, in addition to Bedbugs, isn't it concerning that you are at the mercy of your neighbor's cleanliness? Where did they come through? The vents? Is there something that we can seal to keep it from happening?

Love this idea, can you make it a regular column? I'd love to see more of what you recommend for people!

The penguin collections are stellar collections of work, and if your client reads even one, it will be worth it :)

I highly recommend going that route.

I have to say that the house tour suffers from the same tendency as recent Dwell magazines: arty close-ups. I read this blog because I am interested in the whole space, and individual pieces are only interesting to in the context of how they fit into the whole.

Form the toronto tour there are only a few pics that give a feeling of what whole rooms look like, and none of them connect the pics in a way that lets me know how the rooms are related to one another. I would love a view from the kitchen into the living room to see a different angle, or from wherever these people sit into the kitchen as if we were guests talking to a host. I want to feel how the whole place is assembled.

While some of their art pieces are interesting, my interest in them is purely secondary to how they fit with the apartment. This arises out of a tendency to try and make interesting images, like the one of the glass bottles. While this is a lovely photo, and an interesting vignette, I have no idea where it fits in the apartment.

In general, I would beseech one thing of those offering home tours, whether established on the site on trying out. Notice what the shots that get top billing (i.e. are selected to represent the whole series) look like. They are of the whole apartment. Please make more of the photos look like that!

I think the applications are great, and I look forward to seeing more! Specifically more apartments! I love apartments! :)

To the best of my knowledge the previous post is incorrect. Restoration Hardware is not, and was never owned by Pottery Barn. Pottery Barn is owned by Williams Sonoma, Restoration Hardware is independent. This explains why they released Brocade, to compete with West Elm.

I hope there is a house tour, I would love to see how the ikea bookshelves with crown molding looks! If you guys don't end up with a tour, please send in some pics of that anyway, I think its a resource that a lot of folks here would love!
