doesn't this pattern only work when you have a vast expanse of floor that you intend to keep bare?

what jenPDX said: window film

the concrete table is unconventional enough. this is a chance to get a collection of iconic chairs going. i'd get different chairs, maybe in the same color, maybe not. maybe ones with same or similar material. maybe some with armrests, some without.
get one or two eiffel chairs. a tulip, a panton, etc. you can even have a high leather loveseat anchor one side of the table.

i can see how some people can have an aversion to something like this, but there are definitely urban areas that can benefit from this

for example, a concrete lot where you can't grow anything anyway

interesting stuff...i admire that cabin lady

small houses are great when you have some outdoors space...on a seacliff, even better...you can do most of your living outdoors, weather permitting...

...but then i think of trailer parks. not so hot. so to really enjoy living small, it's still about location, location, location...

...i went to the links to these stories and noticed not too many comments. guess AT readers are still mostly urban and attached to their stuff...

when in doubt, chill out...

there's something you can do with that desk without doing anything to it: put it to use

instead of spending money on restoring it (the end result of which you might or might not like), put that money towards getting the latest, sleekest technological gadget that you will need and use - a new mac system? - and slap it on top of that desk...the contrast of old and new will bring out the antique desk nicely

and if the desk had a soul, she'll thank you for it

these small fires are really inconsequential to the environment

while i enjoy seeing the small, well-kept, urban abodes people keep out of necessity here on AT, i find these open-sky, close-to-nature, outdoors, open spaces really inspirational

seeing these photos, i can picture a lot of positivity. i see a large family, or a gathering of friends, enjoying a barbecue or a splash-around in the pool, kids running around, women with wine by the fire...and i think it's all just reward for someone working hard to achieve something as nice as this...

murderously dreamy...making a few warped dishes and getting this kinda ink is just thumbs way up

wow, bloomingdale's on lex...that's a pretty big deal...it's nice to follow something and see it developing...congrats

re grammar and typos and stuff - i would think professionals, people who're actually paid good money to write and edit etc, would be the first to let minor errors slide...it's part of the job. this is a blog, not like the NYTimes or anything...i find it's most often the frustrated journalist/magazine writer wannabes english majors who are scrutinizing every hyphen, apotrophe, etc...i don't mind the errors at all as long as the content is good...

it's romantic, isn't - a place from the victorian period?

reminds me of mews flats in london...
