What brand were all the soaps on display? They look interesting! I could see the fragrances but not the brand. Ta!

Just bought a new ottoman after looking all year...not only 50% off but this colour! Feeling smug now.

'Cohesive' was the first word that came to me looking through this. Very well done!

Were any of these rooms entered in the Room for Colour comp, cause I think a couple of them are better than the winner was! But I agree about the purple....what is it about purple that makes it so disagreeable?

Fabulous! Beautifully put together. I do feel a bit sad though for all the renters who put such work and thought into their homes but know it's not 'theirs'. I hope the landlords appreciate them rather than quibble over nail holes in walls etc, when they clearly take great care of the home.

I think it depends on the function of the room...symmetry is more restful to the eye so eg in bedroom, I prefer things to 'match' more, but for living area, it's great to mix it up!

I love this...favorite so far! Not into dark palette usually but this is amazing.

Unless the room has mirrored doors on the closet, I'd say a large wall mounted mirror with an attractive frame is a must...practical for dressing but also reflects light.


What I Would Change About this Bedroom if I Could

I would feel like I had my life 'on hold' if I was doing this, I can't even bear renting anymore, rather live in something humble that I can do what I like with, and can't be forced to move out of. But that is a luxury not all can afford I know.

Fantastic, though that striped carpet under that low curved roof which also looks striped would be a bit too trippy for me. I love that they made this house their own!

Genuinely eclectic as opposed to some of the more contrived attempts we see sometimes.

My Nan had my fathers baby teeth glued to what looked to be a miniature plastic black top hat, all around the rim, proudly on display in the china cabinet. Now THAT is disturbing. I'm surprised I'm not in therapy really.


Which Collections Creep You Out?

West German ceramic vases. I guess one day they will go on eBay but they are a shared interest with BFF from when we were neighbors so they have sentimental value, not individually, but as a collection.

it's very LA in the best way possible!

This would work in Australia where we have free health care and a high quality free education system, but I'm thinking it's a LOT harder in the States? Am I right?
