Thanks for sharing Jesse's space. He has really good taste and has been busy collecting classical pieces, mixed with other eclectic and modern lamps -- great editing job, Jesse. Very inspirational. Keep up the good work. Apartment Therapy Chicago \| Midwest #11: Jesse's Tuned In Space Flag this comment	10/24/08 6:07 AM
Beautiful and modern! Love the way they have used color, and the black and white wallpaper brings drama to an otherwise ordinary bath. Great! Apartment Therapy New York \| East #47: Logan & Joey's "Tiger Stripe" Flag this comment	10/22/08 6:15 AM

To Pixie and others, Maybe I like Mary's home because I am an art dealer and avid collector, too, and enjoy seeing the detail of beautiful things. My loft here in DC, in the U Street corridor, was posted on this site, and it's so filled with a melange of favorite things (Asian artifacts, contemporary art, 1970s Parsons tables, Persian rugs) that I came in for some rather horrid comments, also. Not everyone is into the pared down, leather-covered cubicle seating so prevalent these days. To see the post, click http://tiny.cc/6uNzz or go to this site and enter under the search: Washington DC July 16 for Barb's Condo. When you see this, you can pick on me instead of rudely beating up on Mary simply because your tastes differ from hers. If everyoneâ€™s home just looked like yours, what a boring world this would be. Viva la difference! http://tiny.cc/6uNzz Apartment Therapy DC \| House Tour: Mary's Animal-Inspired HomeWashington, DC Flag this comment	10/3/08 8:48 AM
Okay, so the big cat on the wall offends -- so what, it was a treasure from her childhood given to her by her Dad, give her a break! This home is like so many others in DC: comfy, downsized, and filled with treasures collected from around the world, with cozy nooks and cushy beds, ready for houseguests from afar. The floral chairs look like you could sink into them, sip a Margarita with pals, and forget that, mercy, it's already 2:00 a.m.! What I like about Mary's collection is that it shows us the beauty of focusing on one thing and then buying those pieces that we LOVE. Her thing is animals and animal-themed art, while today beginning collectors may prefer glass, stone, ceramics or cooler elements. What I like about this site is that it constantly offers us surprises and allows us to see the diversity that exists in the world of design.

Thanks for the great comments; I am Barb (and deal in artifacts and art) and wanted to say I am a HUGE believer in decorating with odd numbers, too, and use them often. In the earlier blog on my loft, here is a photo of three small hand-painted Tibetan boxes (oops, amidst other items), but will share: http://gallery.apartmenttherapy.com/photo/7-14-08-barb/06barb Cheers, Barb@ColemanCollection.com Apartment Therapy New York \| Inspiration: Arranging Objects in Pairs Washington DC Flag this comment	8/5/08 5:58 PM

Love the DC theme... Cherry Blossoms are lovely this time of the year, why not bring the colors indoors! Barb Apartment Therapy New York \| AT DC: Cherry Blossom Season in DC Flag this comment	4/9/08 5:45 AM
Love Rachel's ideas! Any one of these would be such fun to incorporate into one's decor! Barbie Apartment Therapy New York \| AT DC: Cherry Blossom Season in DC Flag this comment	3/27/08 5:39 PM
