Yes, please a summary of the meeting would be awesome! I have also been a big follower of Hable for years- back to when their website consisted of one homepage! They were one of my inspirations to start my own interior design business. I always wanted to create and sell my own pillows, but couldn't figure out how to get started- how did they make money? and continue to be able to sell these creations at the high prices? What or who is their biggest competitor? Has the advent of Etsy had any effect on what they do, good or bad? How did they get involved with the Hungarian Womens Coop?

I Immediately thought of white to keep it fresh, and not to dark. I like your west elm choice. What about this one from Restoration Hardware

The structure and sophistication of the blue embroidery would be a nice background for your eclectic array of pillows. Plus like someone else said, patterns tire and date easily. Good luck!

Great job on the place. It is really high style and the storage systems you have are unbelievable. That said I would really love to know how comfortable you are/guests are lounging in the living room. I love the look but it doesn't seem at all practical or inviting- in that sense it seems cold. The chaise lounge is your comfy piece I'm guessing, but how comfy is it to only be able to sit in one position? Can you really curl up and watch tv on that or the built in benches? would love to know your honest opinion design aesthetic aside.

Hider, can't concentrate with things strewn about, although I too can get lazy and let "organized" piles of stuff accumulate.

should've won your last round in my book

Yojmac, great looking place and congrats on making it to the next round. I wish I could say the same, but I'm out:( and I am a professional too! However, I just wanted to point out that we eerily have similar taste. I have the Chinoiserie shams as well (though skimped on the duvet for save $$$) and the same IKEA fabric on my bulletin boards in my home office!

The Rothko copy is from Crate and Barrel about 5 years ago.....I bought the floor sample as it was their last one.

Thanks! I made the shades from IKEA fabric-by-the-yard. It is the "katarina" fabric

Hi Meg here. "Jezebella" is right.......not a real Rothko if there was still any doubt, but I wish it was!!! Thanks for the great comments though.

I agree pretty much with mcchatelaine had to say...I was quite diappointed when I saw the spread. It is just TOO much although I can see some of her fabrics are really nice. Mixing them in with other period styles would have been better. It seems like most trends take some time for people to get use to. Does anyone remember disliking mid-century about 15 years ago when it was just becoming hot on the scene again. (Granted I was a mere 15 year old design novice at the time.)
