What a beautiful, harmonious space. I love the use of dynamic changes in tone and light to create tranquility and energy.

But what, exactly, is the objection to mentioning designer's names in this context or even to "showing off" such pieces? We've all seen vapid designer rooms furnished from a show-room floor, but that's not the case here.

Here, those designers have been selected carefully and used judiciously in compliment to the other objects, which include Ikea, found pieces, etc. Those names are in the pantheon of timeless design for good reason, and these rooms demonstrate why. Certainly, pieces from Wal-Mart can serve important roles, but must we bear the delusion that it's a purveyor of great design? Would you go onto a budget-living blog and object when Target is mentioned but not Kartell?

Dismissing good taste by means of plebeian sanctimony is no less pretentious than affecting good taste by means of a DWR catalog and a large credit line.
