houseplants in warm toned pots and mirrors with warm wood frames to bring the outdoors in.

"garden apartment" in the Bay Area often means a basement walk out or a basement apartment with a view of a garden, or more likely, a concrete slab where you could put some plants in pots that may or may not get any sun.

Beautiful! I just moved out of the Haight (lower, to be exact) and this makes me miss it even more.

OMG, this place is absolutely stunning. I LOVE the cool blues and whites in various patterns with the gold accents. I think this may be my favorite AT post ever!

And I am considering buying some modern white chairs to go with my farmhouse table. Wasn't sure how they would look, but seeing it here seals the deal for me! LOVE!

I LOVE the first transformation. The red in the quilt and artwork on the wall makes the room. As does the chandelier. So cozy!

I like this room, but as a SF resident, I think its necessary to use brigher colors to pull through the fog. This rooms would just fade into the fog and clouds - which I guess would be a good thing as you're drifting off to sleep!

Yes, spoiled brat is a bad thing, and sorry, your apartment is boring (short of the fun yellow kitchen). San Francisco IS an amazing city, and your place doesn't seem to capture any of the fun or energy or diversity that I love about the place I've called home for over 21 years.

WHY do we collect so much stuff? How does it happen? I think living in a small space or moving frequently or having frequent houseguests can help, but I wonder about the underlying urge to collect/purchase/own. I have been taking bags and bags of things to various thrift shops and charities in preparation for a big move (after 16 years in the same HUGE apartment), and I cannot believe I have accumulated so much stuff over the course of that time. Who has a good resource for decluttering, streamlining, simplifying? Im starting to think I need to go on a reality show!?!

LOVE pink and red - almost as much as I love red and orange and pink and orange!

love the color and the chevron pattern, but the chair seems too heavy for the legs, which are angled out at odd directions. Think it would be lovely if it was a bit smaller and scaled differently!
