The Gama-Go Throw Pillows are my fav. Marigold and Canary yellow are my favorite colors. My roomate and I adore Gama-Go. One would go in each of our rooms. We could really use those gorgeous planters to brighten up the kitchen too! Our place is all cartoon colors. All these peices would be delightful. The pillows are comin in last place! Y'all are some haters! Me! Me! ME! Pick me! Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| Thursday Giveaway: Target Red Hot Shop Giveaway Package Flag this comment	10/10/08 1:16 PM

I have Design It Yourself by Ellen Lupton and this would make a fine companion. I am a young uncle and I want my several niecees and nephews to be exposed to the sort of old school creativity we amused ourselves with as children. i think their generation is entirely too attached to the keyboard, so when they visit I want them to have options outside of myspace and youtube. I too remember "Make and Do." It was a volume in a collection of children's encyclopedias devoted entirely to arts and crafts. There were directions for hundreds of bizzare things like coffe can stilts, and even a hot-dog costume!!! Don't Hate!!!

Sumptious urban backdrop for an ultra-chic soiree. So many entries suffer from unoriginality. A lot look trendy or overshopped. There are few entries that don't have zebra rug teak credenza eames chair lucite table formuliac interior damage. This designer imagined a fun home making several unusual design choices. What works: * Art functioning as window treatments, transforming the space from uptown gallery to downtown lounge party space with the pull of a string. * Pieces that recall classic designs, but also modernize them. The grey mid-century style chair and the reimagined coffee tables, for example. * Imaginative use of textures and surfaces. I see shag. I see chinchilla. I see felt, leather, wool, velvet, and sequin. Done in a tasteful and engaging manner. * Fresh design concept. This space lacks easily identifiable pieces. I have not seen any of the furniture or accessories featured on apartment therapy or in other design magazines...which leads me to belive that many of the pieces were built or made rather than shopped or pulled from a catalogue. It is highly refreshing to see a space lacking design cliches. I am sure there is a story behind each creation. It seems like a lot of talent and time went into conceptualizing this design. This is a fully realized design that works on every level and adresses all interior concerns. Art. Acessories. Comfort. Entertainment. Everything is considered. A cool neutral grey with futuristic silver creates a modern stage for bright, rich yellows, oranges, red and orchid. This space is a testament to creativity and style. Style is not bought or copied. It is CREATED. It is CULTIVATED. That being said, I would like the opportunity to see more photgraphs of the space as well as detailed closeups of individual items such as the bar, the upholstered bedroom wall, and the buffet/credenza behind the dining table. I am interested in seeing the space with the windows open; seeing all the elements transform from sunny day to glamourous evening. Inspiring and timeless. #18 - George's Urban Opulence Flag this comment	4/30/07 6:59 PM
