I love the sconces over the range in the kitchen! Who makes them?

Whitewash the brick, extend the valance on the right so that it wraps around the fireplace and connects with the one on the left and get rid of that god awful picture and those curtains. Have sheer mesh shades the same whitewash color of the bricks installed in front of the windows....Then get rid of the couch, the side table,coffee can, mop and bucket, pillows, and maybe consider going shopping to Ikea.... oh yeah! Then paint all of the walls in a Benjamin Moore white.
Have I forgotten anything?

Good Luck!

Beautiful!!!Where did you get the floating kitchen shelves?
Thanks.

Que tristesa...I too have every issue of Domino and will treasure them always - I will miss the thrill of it's monthly delivery which was akin to the utter excitement my mom and I felt when the mailman delivered our monthly welfare check way back when...good times.

Australian Vogue living and Living Etc. are fantastico too!

Loodylady on Ebay has the best selection of vintage sacks and linen by the yard and is an absolute pleasure to work with. She was a great help in helping me find 2 matching sacks for my sofa cushions and they look fabulous.

To save $ you can make 2 large pillows from 1 sack by splitting it and backing it with an inexpensive plain fabric.

Good Luck!

As always the elation I felt upon waking from those heavenly dreams would quickly dissolve into heartbroken tearful sobs at the realization that the extra bedroom or loft space that I had found behind my closet did not exist. The reality of still living in a small cramped, 2 teens to a bedroom apt on the upper east side was at times too much to bear. The increase in value of our coop was not enough to buy up significantly in the "city" therefore we were trapped. Then one morning while wiping up the tears it occured to me that maybe the dreams were a sign, a sign to look for the answer across the river somewhere, maybe even perhaps Brooklyn! Those dreams gave me the strengh and courage to ignore my naysaying friends and to break out of my "Manhattan is everything" bubble and move my family to a glorious brownstone in Cobble Hill. Well, that was 4 years ago and I have'nt had those dreams since. The elation I feel at waking now carries on uninterupted from one day to the next...
