Chocolate stout ice cream, chocolate sauce, matchstick pretzels, and spanish peanuts = Grown-up Peanut buster parfait.

I have a hilarious Glen Close (in Fatal Attraction) & Amy Sedaris sketch going in my head at the sight of this!

Cool. Thanks for this. It's a great gift idea.

The banana split idea looks cute and fun, but in practice it would be a communicable illness buffet. No summer colds for me, thanks.

Is there anything better than high ceilings and beautiful windows?! My suspicion is that you could paint the entire place neon pink and it'd still be lovely.

I'm with rdhwyalane. Who sells this?! Is there a substitute?!

The first tablescape is lovely, but why is there a bouquet of paintbrushes on the table?!

I would position a sofa off the wall and parallel to the breakfast bar. Put a sofa table behind it to create an entry space with a bench, coat rack etc. Take the t.v. and put it on the long wall at the top of the layout pic. on top of a low bookshelf or dresser. For the space between the breakfast bar and the couch, a couple of chairs or something low profile like a chaise lounge.

Sofitels are also great with dogs. We were recently at the one in DC; the hotel was fantastic and a block away from the White House (and adjacent park). A perfect spot.

CB2 has red ones on the cheap ($40). They're called, "utility pendant lamp".
