Now this is a real home, loved pieces collected and beautifully integrated over time. The overall design is marvelous, and I feel Lauren's presence everywhere. I love the sculptures in views #5 and #8 SO much; I wonder if you would give the artist's name, Lauren?

I make photographs - every year. I thought my family and friends would get sick of it, so I tried other gifts one year and everyone said, "But, where's my photo?"

Makes me wish I'd purchased a house in Lafayette Square when I lived in St. Louis aeons ago, instead of moving to Phoenix. Those gorgeous places were going for peanuts, though most of them were just shells at the time.

You need to spray these with fire-retardant before you put them up. You can get the fire-retardant liquid from several poultry supply companies.

Bought a house in the Midwest 2 1/2 years ago and I still haven't put in a/c. It works really well except for 3 or 4 nights each summer when I don't think I can live another minute. The great thing about the house is that it has several very mature trees and is in just the right place to pick up every available breeze, so fans are all I really need. It was built in 1950 with no insulation to speak of, so I'm quite lucky, but don't get me started on heating bills in the winter.

I love this. The large stretches and lines of brilliant color are marvelous in their mix, and the laundry room is perfect.

I feel somewhat oppressed looking at these rooms; like I'm inside the great pyramid or the like.

Hilda has quite a talent for mixing pieces; this is charming. I'm mad for the black/white floor lamp!

What a luscious home.

Love the curtains; the area seems like a stage and has a dramatic style that's a little humorous.
