I'm pretty sure this is what Heaven looks like.

I think it would work better if the incomplete paint were limited to one wall, almost as if that wall were a giant canvas for an abstract.

I was digging it until the obnoxious Gucci surfboard ruined it for me.

Lose the shutters. Paint the house soft dove gray, and add a pop of color with a welcoming yellow front door. Red flowers would look fantastic as landscaping.

That fireplace is fine, and the bricks are crying out for a great piece of art hanging on them.

Try to embrace the fireplace by making it the focal point instead of making a clumsy effort to hide it, which only makes it more noticeable.

Ooh, I'd love those for office storage. They might help me better explain to my non-designing coworkers why PMS doesn't mean what they think it means.

I don't love orange and blue, but I'm over the moon for a turquoise/tangerine variation, especially when those colors pop against brown neutrals. So fresh and fun.

Definitely agree about keeping technology out of the bedroom, especially TVs. Bedrooms should be for two things. Since I ditched having a TV in the bedroom a few years ago, my sleep has never been better.

Also, splurge on a great mattress and bedding. You spend most of your life in bed, and good night's sleep impacts every single area of your life, from health to job performance. This is not the time to be stingy. (This doesn't necessarily mean that you have to buy the most expensive mattress in the store to get the best one for you.)

Netshops.com has it. It was the first search result under Google shopping for "Velvet Tufted Border Queen Headboard."

I deeply loathe granite kitchens. Cold, hard slabs of rock don't suit the warm heart of the house. Plus the ubiquitous granite and stainless trend already looks dated; it's going to look really bad in ten years.

I own two of these, although maybe not this exact brand. They're great -- sturdy, high-quality, and don't take up much space.
