Favorite house tour to date! Simply beautiful! I love all the pops of patterns and the gold frames with the gray walls. So lovely.

Vibrant, creative, hip, and FUN - love it!

As another commenter mentioned, I too was inspired by the tutorial in the Martha Stewart Living last month and made a custom little table to fit in a peculiar space in my San Francisco-sized bathroom. The tutorial was not amazing and did not address getting the pipes thread versus not threaded - I guess you'd used epoxy or something to connect the pipes and joint without threading? I went to Lowe's and they threaded them automatically while cutting them. The caveat with that is that they do not all come out perfectly identical and I had some uneveness in the table legs.

Mike In Hawaii above mentioned cost, and it was indeed costly. The pipes were super cheap, but the connecter pieces are not - each flange (round disk shown in picture) was about $9 per piece (x4)! I did use black pipe but the coating was not a problem at all. I just threw them in the sink with warm soapy water for a minute and scrubbed it off with an old brush - came off in a snap.

Oh my goodness! Where did you get that fabulous wooden toy bear? Beautiful home!
