I love my sleep mask, and my wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling bedroom window.

...and you forgot the beautiful Zagg cases. I have an orange one with a silver keypad, it's gorgeous, makes my iPad4 look like a mini laptop.

I solved this on my queen-size bed by purchasing a king-size duvet and cover. Looks great.

when you get rid of the black bathtub - send it to me! It's such a strong statement. It literally made me say WOW when I got to that photograph in the house tour.

is the backing with the ram-head part of the sofa structure, or is it a room divider in the show room?

Somewhere, the Man From Glad is sitting on an overstuffed gilded chair, petting his indifferent Persian cat and laughing maniacally.

I use the grocery bags for trash disposal. Haven't bought a Kitchen Catcher in decades. Fortunately Vancouver is not yet talking about implementing similar measures, but individual stores (Whole Foods, others) are proceeding with paper bags or no-bags.

I came here to ask about that bathtub - anyone know details about it?
it's over the top - yes - and would not fit into my current decor, but oh is it ever beautiful.


What's Your Biggest Design Regret?

I don't think we are the right people to comment on this article, given that we are all here :)

Having said that, decorating is absolutely an esteem issue! I want my place to look nice, because I have esteem for myself and want to live in a place that is comfortable and pleasing to my eye. I'm not a consumer of decorating shows on TV, I do pick up the occasional Arch Digest, Wallpaper or Dwell magazine, but I don't make decorating a focus of my life ...or day.

Maxwell your photos are beautiful !!

And when I visit Berlin I will be sure to stay at the nHow. I will make a note to visit the places you photographed (EWerke, NationalGaleri).

Where is the memorial to all who have suffered in war under tyranny? Such a striking statue. How large is it - is it life-size?

Thank you for the recommendation to add a small set of drawers in the hall closet, tucked in below the shorter clothing.

I will take measurements before I go to IKEA, but I think a small Antonius set of wire drawers might just fit the bill.

Well, I'm glad this was posted/reposted, because it is a strong piece and I have not seen it before.

It elicited a strong WHOA from me. From the almost sterile whiteness of the original room to the chaos of the room decorated by the visiting children (were adults allowed to attach stickers too?) what an interesting installation.

Superbe ton apart, Jean. Je suis nee a Montreal (mais j'habite Vancouver) et ca me fait toujours plaisir de voir des condos de par chez nous...

I love the choices that you made - the strong statements with large pieces, and a restrained palette of colours. Such a beautiful space.

The images over your bed, and in the living room - were they created by you? If so, do you have a web site where we can admire your works?

Thank you for a beautiful tour.
