I hate those giant hurricanes or glass cylinder vases with stuff like sand, beads, glass pebbles, and/or pillar candles, balls of twine or fruit in them. Every time I see one I want to smash it or hijack it and fill it with pennies, bottle caps or gum wrappers.

ight as well!

Whatever the criticism, I think the fact that it was DONE and you learned from it trumps anyone's negativity. At least you tried and did something, instead of not doing it. Even the negators are learning from your process.

I am head over heels over this whole place.
Can I marry this space?
Or at least rub up against a table leg or something?

(...only in the hope that the magic will transfer to my own shabby little dwelling.)

I would love to live in this house!! My only criticism is that it's a bit too brown. (I would have the same beef with a severe all white, modern home.) Some complain when there is post after post of cookie-cutter midcentury modern and beg to mix it up a bit. Then, when something this quirky is shown, it's either compared to grandma's 70's Minnesota parlor, or "contrived" and "trying too hard." Eh, Taste is taste, and you have a right to see or not see the nuances of beauty, humor and connection between things new and old, natural and human crafted, made in this environment. If you can't tell the difference between this, and meema's rumpus room, you shouldn't critique.

As for the animals, some think AT should censor themselves though animal products have been used to shelter throughout human history, many are renewable, and all are biodegradable. Lots of these items look vintage, or the animal was consumed. It's not like she went out and bought a new mink coat. When everything in one's home and on one's body is plastic or polyester, you have to wonder how many more chemicals in processing or materials to end in landfills you're contributing to this planet. I'll stick to my wool blankets and down duvets!

I think rusty or too-worn things should be used in moderation in the bathroom. I'd be afraid of my bare feet touching the floor. It just looks dirty.

Also, did anyone notice that the towel embellishments appear to be cut from talit? (Jewish prayer shawl) The idea of a ritual object being styled into something to dry your butt with seems somewhat inappropriate.
