CooperTX's Profile

While the apartment looks pretty cool and I love the red dobie, I can't get over the larger-than-life painting in the living room. I see one and only one thing when I look at it. I think I and probably everyone I know is way too immature to have that in my house. The jokes would be relentless.

That breakfast nook is heaven.

Do you mind sharing where you got that great pirate kite? I remember seeing it in Sibella Court's book and she is from Sydney also, I believe.

I'm very interested in the response to this question too.

These pillows were sold by Anthropologie a couple years ago. There is also a charcoal gray one shown in the movie too, I believe. You might try a search for suzani pillows for something similiar. Personally, I love the colors of the Anthropologie ones and will keep looking for them. I don't suppose anyone on here has one that they're willing to sell?

These are probably more modern than what you are looking for, but Anthropologie has some for under $500. They come in black, white, and red.

I think they are interesting, but my dog would turn it into a giant chew toy.

I'm sorry, Gingerpie, but I think it's bad form to post a fake stranger's gushing comment about your place and then answer questions as the owner, using the same user name. You need a thick skin to post photos of your house on AT.

There are some good suggestions above that would help the space feel more cohesive - using warmer colors on the walls to tie in the exposed brick and wood floors (both lovely) and clustering some of the artwork together. I also think that you need a couple more shelves to finish out the bottom of those two floor-to-ceiling bookcases. That just looks odd to me.

Overall, it's a nice place. It seems very spacious and filled with light.

This is beautiful! There are so many things I love about this place - the blue light reflecting off the green jar in the first picture, the soft lamplight throughout, the books stacked in the fireplace. Plus, anyone who gets their inspiration from a Tide box is cool in my book. Great job, Mariegael!
