Really warm, pretty and real. Soft non-trendy colors & less chic doodad clutter than most AT home tours, while looking lived-in & comfy. Gorgeous non-pretentious exterior shot. So nice. Thumbs up.

I'm with Art_Brutale as this post makes me queasy. Beauty & Fashion are not why I turn to AT; maybe the editors could do a little review of Susie Orbach and Jean Kilbourne before continuing this nonsense. How hot one looks at home accompanyied by a photo of a skinny smiling blond who 'always looks picante'? Why not have a representative photo of your readers, who, according to the above letters, dress more often in BVDs and PJs. What's next, articles on weight loss? I only registered with AT within the last month and am already regretting it.

Haven't I seen these in SF's Chinatown for about $1?

Annaqua, I'm in France where there are many different colors of paint for ceramic tile (don't know what it's called in English). I covered my ugly brown kitchen walls with this stuff; it's great. It must be sold in the US also.

I'm totally with Granola Suicide. $11K for a budget remodel is high for me, and I'm nearing retirement age and very patient. Then again, in Europe, prices are high for this type of work and nearly everything else. I'm always stunned with I get an estimate, and I'm from SF.

Love the huipile in the baby's room.

The rest of the house is also wonderful!! This Guatemalan textile caught my eye right at the start though. Nice work.

This is lovely. I've been wondering when the trend for chalk-painted pastels would ease up. My mom used to strip paint off of things her mother had painted pink in the 1930s; she used a lethal product called StripEeze. I tried to sell some lovely antique mahogany dressers this summer in the bay area; the woman in the consignment shop told me that sadly unless I put a coat of yellow or turquoise on them no one would buy them because that's the in look. So nice to see AT going in the other direction.
