If you scroll down the AT landing page, you'll see an article on color in the kitchen, then an orange-and-gray porch color scheme. Your kitchen is right on trend as is. (Not that that's a reason to keep it that way if you hate it.) What Should I Do with These Crazy Orange Counters? Good Questions |

P.S. I don't mean the sofa is LITERALLY from the 30s. It was probably made in the 80s when deco was a craze like MCM is today. Picture it in the lobby of Radio City Music Hall. That's the vibe it has. If you take away the crazy back, you just have the Great Wall of China in fabric. Take or Leave This Craigslist Find? Good Questions |

That sofa is classic Deco, including the color. (People think of mauve as being 80s, but it was 1930s revival at the time.) If you change the fabric to something more "modern," you could end up with a sofa that's neither here nor there. Take or Leave This Craigslist Find? Good Questions |

As soon as I saw this garden, I knew which house it belonged to; I have half their original house tour in my style file. I love everything about this house -- the combination of New Orleans-style tradition-plus-eccentricity and West Coast casual is absolutely perfect. Garden Visit: Kevin's Tiny Tropical Paradise |

I always associate pink with New Orleans and the Caribbean. To me, it says sub-tropics, not girly. "The New Prettiness": The Resurgence of Traditional Femininity in Decor |

Your room looks fabulous. I normally hate accent walls, but when it's black, it really works. Maybe it's the graphic black-and-white combination? Before & After: An Almost-Black Guest Bedroom |

So glam! So often this type of look doesn't work because the owner doesn't take it all the way. Baroque Barrio for the win! Agustin's Barrio Baroque House Tour |

My first impulse was to gut it and turn it into a two bedroom apartment. I guess I've lived in tiny city spaces too long? :-) Before & After: Jenna's Big Kitchen Reno on a Budget |

It's very nice (and the sticker removal is a definite improvement). I can't help thinking, though, that the After looks like a teenage girl's room. Before & After: Dresser Goes From College Party to Pretty |

The After is a bit too twee for me, but there's definitely an audience for this kind of prim, faux-Euro decor in places like Dallas or Atlanta. Before & After: Lightening Up a Guest Bath Thistlewood Farm |

Nice, but it's not a "makeover" when every single thing is thrown out and replaced. This just looks like the old tenant moved out and a new one moved in. Before & After: A Granny Office Goes Modern |
