Gorgeous! Every room has so much personality. I would never do the colors in my apartment because some of the stuff is traditional looking, but it all looks so good together - warm, full of personality, and interesting. I wish I had such an aesthetic - my place would have been more interesting!

Some of them don't have much of the tub covered, hence the soaking. I much prefer this to shower curtains and am doing it for my bathrooms. Its perfect if you have kids too. My husband would totally flood the floors, but I wouldn't.

Which toilet is it? I WANT IT!!

The furniture is gorgeous! Where is it from?

Gorgeous use of colors. That is what I love about India - its splash of myriad colors - the handmade figurines, beautifully embroidered throws, colorful linen, etc. But given the dust in India, the house must be very high maintenance. I cannot imagine having so much stuff and to clean it every day... too high maintenance for me.

Love their stuff. Just wish they weren't so darn expensive.

I would use it as storage!! Great space.

Miss sparrow, can you post pictures here? I would love to see it. I am in the process of renovating and would love to see new ideas.

I live in New York, and feel the pain of recession. Soho is practically empty on late evenings, big designers have "Clearance" stamped all over their stores, and more big designers are having sample sales. My husband survived the Lehman crash, where he worked for 7 years and lost ALL his stock. Everyone is saving; restaurants in some parts of the city are closing down; some of my friends in finance are out of a job and looking but facing challenges. But yes there are still people wining and dining in expensive places - I see bars still full of people, and even on a weekday some pricey restaurants are full. Really don't know who these people are, probably the handful adding something to the economy.

I completely agree with hejiranyc. The medium-rich are paying the highest taxes - up to 40%; what's next, 50%? Basically medium-rich people are working twice as much for half the salary, 40% of which is paid in stock. Its the very rich that are well off because they have a lot of money saved up, and the not-so-rich who don't pay high taxes and get all the benefits. The middle ones are getting screwed.

Prettypresley, so true. I thought of Siamese twins as well. Creepy.
