I just discovered your post and I have to say that for me, this is the most uniquely creative space I've seen here on AT. I really admire your great eye and amongst all of the great things, the mural in the kids room is one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting place and a very fun tour. Thank you for sharing. I have to agree with Bonnie on the issue of so many folks complaining about dust!? It reminds me of as a child my Mom, who's 78 now, and when she and her girlfriends would get together and complain about dust. Looking back it seems OK for the 1950's & 60's but this day and age I'd think we'd all be liberated from this kind of mentality.

Even though I don't think this idea will fly, I'd like to throw it out there: why call out if an item is Eames or Sarrinen or any other highly ubiquitous and obvious design item? Give some credit to the educated and informed readers, I know an Eames chair when I see it and don't need someone pointing it out to me. As for the inexpensive knock-offs and if they are being used, it doesn't really matter, they both have a similiar impact on the over-all space and do not need to be so blatantly distuinguished. Apartment Therapy is about the entire living space and the over-all environments we create. Sure, all the individual pieces come together to make the whole but when folks/magazines etc are constantly calling out 'labels', especially for items that are so obvious, it appears more about their vanity at letting others know they can afford certain items than focusing on the over-all goal, impressions of the space.
