Brilliant. I have to have an LTR immediately. You can never have too many books or magazines within reach.

The color is AMAZING. It looks like you simply set out to be fun and quirky rather than to stick to a budget. Nicely done.

Wow. I read 'snakeskin' and almost looked the other way. This turned out fabulous. It mixes so well with the other patterns and colors in the shot. Nicely done.

I'm at my desk all the time - but I think that's just because it's not facing a wall. My desk divides the kitchen and living room, so I can sit at my computer and see all around my apartment. I think I would feel too cramped and blocked if I were staring at a wall all day...even a nice wall.

I could totally use that mirror. Ha ha. It would make dressing in the morning so much more entertaining. Beautiful pieces!

I like absolutely everything about the dining room. That green chair comes out of nowhere and I LOVE it.

Ha ha. I like this trend. The laundry detergent bottle is certainly not going to become a classic, but it's cheeky and speaks to a generation of recyclers and up-cyclers. Why not?

It's interesting. It's even strangely beautiful. But every time I see these modern portable/modular/whatever structures, I think you'd have to a cyborg to want to be inside for any prolonged amount of time. Wouldn't you start to feel like a hamster? A cyborg hamster?

Wow. That's incredible. The engineering is mind boggling. But now I feel kind of seasick.

Fabulous! The rug is the perfect compliment. The space feels fun and modern, but somehow it's also soft and soothing. Lucky baby. :)

I love the desk/cabinet combo. It would be fun to work in that space, although I would be tempted to be opening and closing it all the time. :) Sure it's a lot of restoration hardware - but it is a staged show home. I think it was well done and quite interesting for a neutral space that has to have a broad appeal.

I love them all! It might just be better if I don't have a nook like this in my house because I would install a fridge and NEVER come out.

I'm crazy about a distressed floor that doesn't look too farmhousey. This one is perfect.

My grandma had a wicker swinging chair and it was the best chair ever. I hope you get your dream living room someday...perhaps someone will invent velvet that repels dog hair. It could happen.

I agree about the frilly thing. I wouldn't leave it there - I'd wear it. But the label 'primitive modern' is magical. Must explore this design style!
