Why didn't they open one in their downtown San Francisco store, not freakin' Corte Madera?! Not every one of us has a car to cross the bridge to go over there or is willing to take the inefficient Golden Gate bus.

How do you keep the hangers straight on the wall. I am trying this now and the hanger keeps shifting to the right. I tried hanging this using a pushpin, a nail, and a nail with a picture hanger on it. What should I do?

I am 6'1" and slender. I bought two OLLE chairs several months ago and they work fine for my kitchen. Part of the process to build the chairs is you have to have use a mallet or a hammer to bang the legs into the seat of the chair. This process I feel makes the chairs solid without some of the wiggle that can found in some of IKEA's products. Best of luck!

I like the rug and I wonder where the curtains came from? They would be perfect for my living space in my studio!!

My alma mater, the University of Maryland - College Park, has a similar program called Terrapin Trader.

I think the accessories should of been edited down a little bit, especially on the coffee table and I agree there should of been some larger artwork on the main wall; something to accentuate the high ceilings. But, overall I think the goal of this challenge really was to go a little over the top and I overall love this space compared to the other two.

I like the clean lines of the room, however I love the dramatics of Maxwell's room as well and think it's kinda awesome he went in that direction. I'd more likely would rather live in a space like this with a little bit of Maxwell's drama he brought. But I think for this challenge the room should be a little over the top and think this was a little too safe.

I kinda like the bedding in the last photo. Can you actually buy from the line? I went on the website and didn't having anything from the site about how much things cost or if was available in their stores or their online store. I figured anything from Diesel would be expensive, but I still would like to know the prices. Thanks to anyone who has an idea about this.

it kinda feels sterile to me! The whole home seems to not have much personality to it at all. The bedroom and the other rooms feels like an hotel and I agree with the other comment that the photos should of shown how storage was dealt with.

I like it and all, but I wished the photos would of shown more of each room as a whole, instead of so many close up shots.

yeah there are too many accessories and when I think of modern, I think of editing down pieces to showcase the beauty of each item in the room. The way the rooms are styled they take away from the beauty of the Moroccan pieces.

The store is so expensive! Pretty much if you're working-class or not a rich student, the prices are just too high. The pieces are beautiful, but it's just a store I or most people I know couldn't afford.
