this looks like a great use of space in a very small live/work situation. as a fellow collector of glass, i love the in-window display shelves but am turned off by the black paint. reminds me of the too-narrow hallways leading to the bathrooms in bars i hadn't remembered until i viewed this post. shame since it leads to such a cozy-looking bedroom.

Fun with lots of interesting things to look at but I think I would have nightmares if I spent much time there. All those dead animals make me sad, particularly the swan strapped to the arm of the chaise. Dusting must be challenge.

there is some great stuff going on here. my only comment would be to question the giant bucket light over the table and the fixtures over the eat-in kitchen. they are overscale and suck attention from the other beautiful elements of the room. i am finding a trend towards this in lighting recently.

NMS (I propose we adopt this acronym since it appears in comments so frequently) but I really like what they have done with the space. When I moved to the house I own now I was also challenged with finding places to hang beloved objects on different/less wall space. The trade off was lots of big windows and light. What I would like to know is how often the owners suffer snagged toes and bumped shins from that table in front of the sofa. It appears to have been purchased as part of a set but I would suggest replacing it with a rectilinear table with a soft top to match the sofa such as a leather covered bench.

lovely lady power here. the open beams slay me. love the combination of the natural light peeking into the clean white palate warmed by just the right colors and textures. great job. Shiva's Eclectic, Romantic Modern Ranch House Tour Flag this comment	2/29/12 8:51 PM
Great house. Warm and cool at the same time. Slipcovered furniture great way to handle dog and cat hair. HOWEVER, cat butts do not belong on kitchen counters and table tops! Shannon's Soothing Mix of Styles House Tour Flag this comment	2/23/12 9:18 PM
will you please adopt me? i want to live in your house. lovely family, lovely home. beautifully curated collection of artwork and accessories. especially love the childrens' bedrooms. they are wonderlands of creativity and personal expression. only question; from the initial photographs it looks like you have to duck your head when you climb up the steps in the entrance area to the upper level. is this a photographic spatial distortion?

Love this space. Sophisticated and whimsical. So what's with the framed triple over the bed? At first glance I was offended by the overt in-your-face nature of the gesture but then I realized that taken as a whole it becomes something both phallic and sculptural and as a graphic looks pretty cool.

Interesting but the photos don't really give one a sense of the flow of this home. I visit the AT website just about every day, enjoy it immensely, and find much by which to be inspired. But I have to say that I am becoming skeptical of the repeated, overly enthusiastic comments that seem to accompany the most mundane and ordinary of interiors. Particularly those with lots of exclamations points (BEST POST EVER!!!!!!). Simone's Romantic Home Filled with Personal Treasures House Tour Flag this comment	1/3/12 9:17 PM
i'm with janet uws...this is a lovely house with carefully chosen objects of unarguable pedigree (love, love the dining room) but i found myself using my finger in some rooms to obscure the one or two extra decorative objects that seemed to diminish the impact of the whole (pillows/cushions, wall art, mirrored objects) Julie & Rob's Current Twist on Mid Century Modern House Tour Flag this comment	11/5/11 5:36 PM
absolutely love apartment therapy but would someone please, please, please stop the trend of the dead cow rug? it appears in far too many of the home tours and house calls on this website. it wasn't attractive in years past when it was a lion or a zebra or a bear. is it meant to evoke something primitive? to me it just looks like roadkill.
