No. People. No.

No screen divider to ruin that beautiful flow.

And the whole place is private. I would live there in a heart beat, if I didn't have these kids. In which case, yes, I would need more privacy.

I thought about the great architecture when I cast my vote, but then I looked at what she did with the space. The balance of natural wood and modern. The way the oblong rectangle is repeated throughout, from the exterior or the building to the windows, to the red tile in the bathroom to the shape of the sofa to the lampshade. Well done.

I do this! It's one of my favorite warm weather dishes. A can of tomatoes, chilpotle in adobo, cumin, oregano, garlic, onions, salt and pepper. Yum. Then serve with guac and lime pico de gallo. YUM. And pretty easy.

I tried this, using the NYT recipe after googling it, and although it was doubtful, it turned out fine. I think my coffee was old, though. I wonder how this would work with finer ground espresso type coffee... maybe I should try it.

I have a fondness for BM Tropical Dusk and the lighter Spring Violet. They are much more muted than your stereotypical lavender, found in the gray section of the store. I have Spring Violet in my kids room, with turquoise, navy and white and it's a lovely soothing room. And we have Tropical dusk in the livingroom which doesn't get much light, and it is warm and cozy and great for movie watching. I like intense colors though not bright ones.

I love the lost and found treasure of it all. It's like walking through someone's subconscious. I would love to read their blog. I also like how much diy they did.

I'm tempted to say the Dutch Oven, so I can learn to make roasts and other standards, but I think I'll say the grill pan. I'd like to make some mortally peppered steak au poivre with mustard sauce.

I once had a bedroom/study that was red. It was cranapple. That was the name, that was the color. I think it was behr.

I loved it as the color of my office, where I spent a lot of time writing. It's a very stimulating color. It was a horror to sleep in, though. And it tinted everything in the room red.

Come to think of it, I also used to paint in that room, so I suppose it was also my studio. I painted a lot of red paintings at that time.

So I think red is great for a writing study or a studio if you are not interested in working with color-- or you're interested in working with having a red period, ala Picasso's blue period, but I think it's too strong for a full use studio.

Love the art and the colors in the art. It would be great to see you pull more of those colors into your decorating. Keep it up.

So unexpected and not what I would choose at all, but just lovely. It has just a tinge of the seventies, but with such taste and panache. Well done.
