I can't believe no one has mentioned their curry sauces! The yellow and red are both amazing...you don't need to add a single thing to either one. They're fabulous when combined with the ridiculously cheap frozen chicken breasts ($6?! I couldnt believe it) and the $2 bags of frozen green beans and cut peppers :)

I can't believe no one has mentioned it yet...mask collections are hands down the creepiest things I've ever seen. My dad used to have a Tahitian voodoo mask and it "accidentally" got burnt up...whoops.

Oh dear God those chairs are GORGEOUS! I definitely need about 9 more dining rooms to accomodate all of my new chair desires.

My favorite dining room of all time is actually navy blue...and I wouldn't think twice about painting a dining room blue because color theory also suggests that blue can bring about feelings of intelligence...figure that can't hurt the dinner conversation, right?

I'm sad to say that I'm not sure any of those alarm clocks would actually work for me...I have one that gets increasingly louder the more you ignore it, but I still snooze that sucker most mornings...NOT a morning person!!

I think a larger-format light gray tile would look nice, or a white...but I wouldn't go any darker than a light gray or you risk darkening the whole room.

Great idea IF you're using a rectified tile...many 12x12's have slightly tapered edges which, when cut in half, will give you a bit of a raised edge on every other tile. If you're gonna do it, just make sure your tile is completely flat with square edges!

My blog is all about tile for more useful design and tile tips :)

So gorgeous. I love arabesque tile, but especially love the additional bevel. Simply stunning.

I always spec subway tile for my clients for the same reasons...it's neutral, timeless, and beautiful!

There are tons of interesting ways you can set it too to make it more modern or more traditional...I have a whole post on it here:

Love the photos! It's nice to see some bright color in rooms, where I live everyone is scared to use anything other than white, gray, and brown. I don't usually like yellow in bathrooms, but the two pics you posted with yellow are gorgeous!

*drool*...I adore subway tile in virtually any application. Actually, all applications...haven't seen subway tile I don't like yet.

I actually just wrote a blog post myself about all the different ways you can set white subway tile here: http://tiletramp.wordpress.com/2011/05/06/10-creative-ways-to-use-subway-tile/

I don't usually like spamming comment sections, but since you seem to share this love with me, I thought you might enjoy it :)

Cheers!
