Sultandc's Profile

This home is just lovely--the fireplace is probably my favourite feature. I don't love the coffee table, but its unique and allows the owner's individuality to come through. The hanging cabinets work very well. I like the tulip table and minimally voluptuous chairs, also echoed in the bar stools, that soften out a lot of the strong lines and angles of the home.

First, Yaay to all the other greyhound owners on apartment therapy! Did not know there were so many!

The sliding door hardware is standard in these units so I don't know much about how to get them installed, I'm afraid. The door is quite heavy actually. I like it, but many others have taken it off in their units--a matter of taste I guess.

As far as the dining table, I wanted something to play off the brushed steel of the sliding door, mantle, and the exposed vents; and also create some separation and contrast from the living 'area.' I think the table will stick out less once I find the right chairs. I'm happy with it and think it will work, though I was also tempted by the more obvious DM choice that might be more pleasing overall. We shall see.

Thanks to all for the compliments--its really nice when others also find your home pleasing in the same way you do and makes all the time spent figuring out the right angles for the furniture worth it ;)

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, the space above the bed calls out for something--I have art but as yet unframed! The table on the rug is my dining table that actually extends to accomodate more. I still haven't found the right chairs to go with it(open to ideas) so I pull in the outdoor teak chairs when I want to use it!

Nice job Rachael. I like what Helen's attempted in a small space—a good dose of creativity and personal taste, without having one's home look like a DWR showroom. As for those concerned about grammar mistakes, you may be technically correct, but none of the very minor mistakes prevented me from understanding what Rachael was trying to "communicate" and she got her point across. (How on earth do you sticklers for grammar negotiate the web with all the bad writing out there?) I say take a deep breath and meditate on the green elephant.
