Amazing. What a fantastic job. If this was at Restoration Hardware, it would be easily $75. Before & After: From IKEA Basic to a Vintage-Look Card Catalog The Painted Hive Flag this comment	5/4/12 3:14 PM

I don't think white is going to work in there as long as the ceiling is off-white. It will make the ceiling look dingy in comparison. You do have an advantage since there's a picture rail. You could match the ceiling color down to the rail and then below the rail, paint it a completely different color. All the warmth from the moldings, floors and the existing paint color are making it look drab. A cooler color would be a nice balance. I nice gray or pale blue perhaps.

I was in love about half way through but then when I saw the before pics, I was amazed. Now that's what I call having a vision. Absolutely Fabulous! Daniel's Eclectic Industrial Loft House Tour Flag this comment	4/17/12 6:28 PM

I don't think you're crazy at all. You're trading a sofa that you're not in love with for one that you are. You have to do it or you'll think about the one you could have had for a long time. Should I Trade My New Sofa for a Used Vintage One? Good Questions Flag this comment	4/10/12 6:28 PM
Very cool home. It's just full of fun and whimsy. I think AT has done enough cool House Tours that they should publish a book of them. That would be great! Keith & Fran's Arty Geodesic Dome Home House Tour Flag this comment	3/29/12 4:21 PM
CANADIANMANGO, The recommendation is eye level while seated so in most cases, viewing it above a fireplace or in an armoire can give people neck strain after a while. I think a lot of people place them at eye level while standing but, in the end, it's whatever works for the owner. The Fall of the Full Wall Entertainment Center Flag this comment	3/20/12 7:47 PM
I'm with PI, I'm a movie and tv buff so in my home, the tv is the focus in the living room and luckily, my guest are fans as well so we gather around and enjoy it together. I never liked it in an armoire because it always seems like the person is embarrassed to have it so they don't want people to know it's there and the height is not optimal for viewing. I love tech and the design of it so I always keep that in mind when I'm shopping for it. I need it to fit into my space as if it were a piece of furniture.

After seeing the pics, I had an instant reaction. Once I started to read the comments including the criticisms of the comments, I wasn't even going to bother to say anything but then I realized, I and probably others come on here to not only give praise to but also feedback and suggestions to the post. That said, I think the end result is a little flat. What could enhance it even more is if the drawers and doors were painted a slightly darker shade of that blue or even a stencil of a design in dark or light blue. Also, I think if the hinges were replaced(those types of hinges are really inexpensive), that would also pop. Painted hardware is my own pet peeve. These are suggestions that Cassie could use if she wanted to enhance it further without having to undo any of her work or that anyone with a similar piece could do.

One of my favorite design books is still, "Apartment Therapy Presents: Real Homes, Real People, Hundreds of Design Solutions". It was the first book that actually told me what the decor/furniture items were and where they were from. It was great! The 8 Books Every Home Decorator Should Own Flag this comment	2/28/12 3:14 PM
K1TSUN3, Your phone most likely has 16GB of Storage Space to which this iMac would have at least 500GB. Pahana Alo's Workstation Update: Towards Minimalism Flag this comment	2/24/12 6:22 PM
I don't think PATRICK (THE OTHER ONE) was making a grammatical point on "Towards". I think he was saying that it's not heading "towards" minimalist, it's already there. Pahana Alo's Workstation Update: Towards Minimalism Flag this comment	2/24/12 2:26 PM
Absolutely loved it. So warm and inviting. The curtains work so well and all the artwork is amazing! Guy & Karen's Modern Family Home House Tour Flag this comment	2/22/12 12:58 PM
