glossy white or antique white on the wainscotting below;
salmon/apricot on the walls -- very flattering to skin; a nice complement if you add any dark wood [side chair, hamper, etc]

I have the same Duravit sink -- as of yet uninstalled.

I'm having problems finding under-sink supply lines that are 'clean' and 'contemporary' polished chrome. I have nice-looking h and c-water stops --it's the supply line that is troublesome.

Any insights as what I should be spec'ing? ... most of what I've seen is the crimped/ribbed/flexible stuff.

Thanks in advance.

lovely, lovely, lovely place [no caveats], ...

minute detail: can you tell me the source for the pulls on your bathroom cabinetry?

Single word: "stunning".

Clicking on plain jane, I'm struck by the snarkiness of the majority of her comments. Her "I'm a single young woman who doesn't get out much" nothing-to-do-with-interior-design opinion sounds like a major case of "projection".

Back to the real topic, BlondeinBrooklyn's apartment: I especially like your color palette -- you selected a lovely, warm yet sophisticated, shade of green.

I love the 6-point food philosophy card. I've been looking for something similar for my kitchen. Would you share your source for this retro-look item?

Love the kitchen; it seems like a fluid extension of the owner/cook.

Much as I applaud individual style [and I really do celebrate it], I wonder if this house is too much of a good thing.

As a guest, I would find myself wondering which seat in the living room is 'neutral' [i.e. not the host/hostess'].

Does anyone else get that vibe?

Where is the glass-topped desk/office furniture from? It's shown with the orange task chairs.

I love the originality of this home!

I echo kristinprc's comment of 'disturbing' and add my own: 'foreboding'. Definitely does not do good things for my psyche!

Wonderfully sophisticated! And so refreshingly different ...

Lovely -- especially the exposed brick.

Anyone know the source for the woven side chairs [slide #8]?

Thanks for the inspiration, AT.
