Don't be shy! Ask the landlord about it. If they seem married to the color scheme - follow the suggestions above. If they just never got around to repainting it - volunteer to do it (for a reduction in rent to cover what you spend on supplies)?

Cool space, though - good luck! :)

i assume the 'modern' comes from the clean lines and neutral color palattes...plain 'rustic' would probably be more colorful and sentimental - i'm thinking quilts. anyone?

snoooooze.
ok, so we've seen it before. get over it.
but seriously, they weren't worth looking at the first time
they have serious cute factor but once that wears off they're just kind of there.
def best suited for a shop window.

re: colors - how is a color or color combo "in"? are solid color decisions ever OUT? are we supposed to repaint every year?

finally! so excited! i'm so pleased this isn't bedding. i would hate to read another extensive comment thread about how crappy the quality is. seems like it would be difficult to ruin a glass or oven mit!

What is wrong with you guys!? Have all your apartments been featured in house tours? Is it because she doesn't have a couple of repro Eames chairs scattered around? Katie obviously loves the things she's chosen to live with and chooses them carefully. I think it's fantastic. It's not my style either - but it's refreshing that it DOESN'T look like a glossy magazine photo. This is what a real house looks like! And I'd bet that this is what other side of most of our computer screens looks like. I'm sure some of you were out to impress with your catty, snide comments - but you sound like complete jack@sses. Keep on keepin' on Katie. :)

doesn't this all just boil down to - keep it if you have it because you truly love it and get over it if you have it because you think you're supposed to?

i think over-styled is never good, but certainly everywhere right now. not everyone is a collector so i'd like to see the end of tragically hip flea market finds like typewriters and over-sized advertising letters. it was cute 25 years ago in Mary Tyler Moore's pad, but it's wearing thin! show me more recycling! times are still rough and i'm always wondering how to re-birth the pieces i already have!

love it - seen it in person and it's gorgeous. a little pricey for a seasonal decoration in these times though, no?

haha. rocker argument aside, i love her use of white in various textures - i think the shiny white finish on her rocker is key to the design - even if you don't want to sit in it.
