I love their entertainment center. They did such a great job planning and executing the design. I'm sure the added storage doesn't hurt considering their space is tiny. Such great features and look.

I love birds and feathers. In fact, I dedicated a gallery wall to a collection of birds, feathers and trees:

I think the couch is interesting. The color is fun and it looks comfortable.

As for censoring comments, I don't think it's the end of the world. I've had a few of our home renovations posted here and I'm thrilled the AT writers like our home. But, the negative comments do hurt and I think commenters often forget that so much hard work and effort goes into the items that are posted. I think it's great to say, "I don't like this, but this could help." (Though, I'm not going to change my home because one commenter suggested it. I think it's down right rude to simply comment with, "I hate this. Why would you share something like this. It's ugly, etc." If you don't like it, why are you taking the time to say so? You're only wasting more of your day by commenting. Just my opinion...

I think you made the self indulgent comment about my dining room: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/before-after/before-after-amanda-bens-dining-room-redesign-139962 Am I right?

Thanks for the shout out, Cait! As for the saturation point, chevron definitely is everywhere, but I think if you like something, you should use it, even if it is a current or past trend.

We considered this, too. Though, we would probably add storage underneath to maximize space. Love the look and the price/function can't be beat!

I too have been loving yellow lately. We've added pops of sunny yellow to our boys' bedroom. In fact, last summer, we painted our son's bed yellow:

To monarda: I wish we had the space for a larger table, but our dining room is 9 feet wide by 10.5 feet long and opens to our living room. We can comfortably seat 6 at the table and we pull out a folding table when we need more space.

To sillysimple:

Here are a few links for more about the dining table process:

To everyone else: I agree that in this angle, the paneling does seem like a lot, but it's the only wall with that much paneling. To the left is a wide doorway to the living room, opposite the plate rack is open to the kitchen and the window takes up the rest of the right wall. Come on over to our blog to see more angles of the room (and the rest of the house). :)

Love the classic combo of black and white checker. Not only is it great in kitchens, but we have a marble checker floor in our bathroom:

We utilize wasted space under our bed with drawers, eliminating the need for a dresser in our small room.
