My iPhone breakage story is not interesting in the least. I was attempting to use it when it slipped from my hands and landed face down, flat on the concrete walkway. The phone had a plastic covering on its face and sheath around the body, but it still shattered the front glass. I've been using it in its shattered state even though some of the glass has come out.

CBS's Sunday Morning did a really nice send up to her yesterday and featured great examples of her work: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7393486n

These people suck with their stupid fantastic view of the stupid, AWFUL Chrysler building. Stupid, great building. I hate their stupid-- but also, mainly DUMB-- fantastic furniture that I would have in my house if I could afford it and had simply THOUGHT OF IT FIRST. Whatever. Hate them. :(

Wow, this is fantastic.

I wonder what he'll do when it's time to sell or move. It looks well-done enough to take a chance on selling it as a "feature," but I'm sure the vast majority of potential buyers would like looking at it, but couldn't imagine living with it.

So, green then?

I like how the majority of the house comes together, and the pool and yard are gorgeous yet unpretentious. However, those bedroom walls! Way too neon for me.

I agree with Britomart-- holiday cards would probably work much better.

Even though this attempt is kind of sad, it has a kind of "make do-ism" that can be fun. Not every situation calls for the whole tree shebang. I think a concept like this would have worked much better for me a few years ago when I was DETERMINED for some reason or other to have a tree even though I live alone. I wept the entire time I dressed the tree, pitifully reminded that I had no one special to share the occasion with. That was the saddest Christmas I've ever had.

We have a couple of spaces like these in our offices. They are rarely used because our office is missing one key ingredient: WIFI!!

Fancy! That round entry combines two of my favorite things-- round rooms and fancy floors. Gorgeous.

I'm not sure why 1GH says the room is too crowded. There seems to be plenty of room to me. The only too crowded area may be the chairs crowding the Barbara Barry sofa (which is the best sofa ever created in the history of the world. FACT!). Go to the article and look at all the photos I think the perspective is a bit better there.

This room is a bit strange to me. The individual pieces are Asian or Asian-inspired, but the overall look and feel isn't Asian. It's a really nice room, though, definitely "finished". I like the blue/gold accents with copious amounts of cream.

I think this is an example of why Mid-Century design went out of style. Not that it's not well put together-- it is, but the neutral-on-neutral colors are so drab that this house is almost depressing. The shots of color on the chandelier and bench are nice, but don't do enough to overcome the overall feeling.
