I just refinished a dark basement apartment. Here's my before/after http://cl.ly/image/2Q1t2P3b392W

Absolutely paint it white. Paint the floors high gloss white with decking paint. It will take 3-4 coats but it's easy. Get a nice large sisal rug (they're cheap). Paint the walls white and decorate with neutrals, and some splashes of color.

Love the counters, backsplash, and floors. Having trouble understanding the uneven cabinets and huge molding. I assume there was a reason the cabinets don't go to the ceiling?

I agree this is just shock value, there's no art behind this. I would never bring all that dark energy into my home.

Here's the thing, this is a great job refinished and reupholstering. I love the orangey color of the dots with the wood.

I think the large pattern chosen is too much. This chair makes a BIG statement on its own, I wouldn't throw a loud pattern on top of that. It feels unfocused to me. I definitely would've gone with a smaller/tigher pattern, but overall, great job!

I make furniture as well, and I've had great experiences with German at CarvArt in Brooklyn. He just cut out a floor lamp I designed in expensive bamboo plywood and did a fantastic job.

You have the Organic Modernism Luna credenza! I've been eyeing that, but lack of consumer reviews on their products keeps scaring me away. How's the quality?

For a while I shared my bed with a boyfriend, 2 small dogs, 1 large dog, and a cat. It was quite comical having us all together in a queen-sized bed. This is what happens when 2 animal-people start dating.

Now, the cat is gone and we bought the large dog his own bed which he loves (on the floor). So it's not so bad.

Thumbs down. Decorating your home with dead animals is not the kind of energy you want to place in your house.

I feel the same way about this as I do about people wearing fur. Unnecessary cruelty.
