Where is this list from? Is there some kind of documentation for this?

I love the combination of books and carpets. It feels so rich. Can we have a house tour, taureg?

How often does mint like to be watered, once it is getting full light and has room for the roots to grow? I tried transplanting a bit from my parents' California garden and it dried and yellowed within a couple of weeks sitting on my very sunny desk in NYC.

Well, sometimes an extra vote helps, so I'll just say I agree about the sofa/tv swap and the drapes. Also, I can understand why you don't want a big coffee table but you need SOMETHING. Two small sturdy tables would work well for you because they can also double as additional seating if you keep that in mind when you're looking. Also, if you end up rearranging for a more formal look somewhere else, they are versatile enough to become end tables or even bedside tables.

I'd love the Czech Chinatown! It would be a great gift for a friend who's a big fan (She does environmental policy on water rights) and also a graphic designer.

I guess if winners are chosen at random I don't need to explain any more?

The ideas of a circular or oval rug and an oval coffee table sound great - I just want to note that you don't have to buy new stuff, necessarily! You could try repurposing other things in your apartment. Do you have a low sideboard in the dining room? It could turn into a media center with room for colorful art above it. Do you have a queensized mattress? You could slide that media center behind it to create a kind of visible and hidden storage combination.

Also, I think the yellow sofa is a great choice for a sunless room. I did that in my last apartment and loved it.

This is beautiful, and would look teriffic next to my old-timey bath.

Does anyone know how wall decals do with intermittant steaming?

I've seen a lot of them on AT, and I think they would be great for that one bathroom wall where no pins will go, but I don't really know what the decals or made of, or what the sticky is that makes them stick.

I would be sticking them onto a smooth semi-gloss.

I roll up my Strand tote and use its own handles to tie the roll shut and it always sits at the bottom of my handbag. It is quite light and takes up very little bag real estate.

I love that so many people have commented with book suggestions, with favorite used bookstores, and with the desire to appreciate a home full of books. In my opinion, assuming the client of the poster wants to read is absolutely the best possible way to take this post. However, none of that answers my earlier query of how this post was considered a good question.

Patrick Too: You have a photography collection! I bet it awesome. I also bet you a) chose the photographs yourself because anything one collects is probably personally important, and b) use the photographs. With photographs, this means displaying or looking at them frequently. With books this generally means reading them.

Incidentally, my boyfriend and I have over 3500 books in our apartment, and I host an annual bookswap in the fall to keep our selection in circulation.

You have a great eye! Everything looks great together and then (so often untrue) everything looks great on its own. I am especially impressed by your ability to make black look intentional.

What is the white branchy-coraly thing on the wall behind the armchair in the livingroom? It looks awesome, and I miss the branches I used to have at my ceiling.
