Dunno, looks like a sheep to me.

I agree that the kitchen is much improved, but the branchy wallpaper in the entry just hits me as creepy and claustrophobic, like I was trying to climb through a hedgerow and got stuck half way through. Glad to see others appreciate it, tho.

Now, my nitpick: what exactly is an LA-based home? Does the house flit about the country on business? :)

Looking at the picture, wouldn't they want a larger mirror to match the twin sinks? Sharing a bathroom, you'd be forever in the other's way.

Pitkin's Ace Hardware is your go-to place in eastern Prince William County, VA. They welcomed me into the world of plumbing gas dryers when we bought our home here.

Oh, and the relaxing sound of water through pipes right behind your head, as your early-rising bedmate showers, flushes and brushes while you try to get a few minutes' more sleep.

So far we've got damp sheets, and tinkle and splash noises going against this idea. Nobody yet mentioned odors wafting over you as you recline in bed, so I will.

Put a fork in this turkey.

Oh, and wouldn't the cables get in the way of eating, especially if you've got a large group clustered around the table?

I think the only way to get the table "anchored somehow" would to tether it to the floor, thereby unliberating the space under the table.

File under "impractical."

As a guitarist (with two not-so-expensive guitars that I love anyway) I would be concerned for the longevity of your beautiful instruments! I don't see a single humidifier (the spongey snake thing that gets inserted thru the sound hole of the acoustics) in these photos, and y'all live in a northern climate, presumably with extremely low indoor humidity in the winter. When the wood and glue begin to dry, the instrument is irreversibly damaged.

Did you just take the humidifiers out for the photos? Or do you humidify the entire loft? If not, I would suggest moving the entire collection to a single room that can be humidity controlled.

And I just learned that "Border to Border" means "Canadian to Mexican," not "Pacific to Atlantic." So I won't be going either.

There are so many exceptions that I doubt it's a useful rule. 'Tis the case in my home, but not in others I know.

If the mouse can climb the outside of the bottle to get into the trap, what prevents it from climbing the inside to reach the opening and get back out?
