Really nice, and seems like a whole home even in so few sq. ft.

It's the full moon, Kate. Who cares, let 'em howl. Cozy like my grandma's sofa with loads of pillows & colors. I imagine it "softens" the D.C. (area) life/workstyle! :-) Thanks for sharing.

Try a glassy or silver glitter- like a coating of frost. Pile them in a glass bowl or tall glass container. I love using gourds in their own variety of colors & shapes; some last a few weeks, some over a year. I don't do anything to preserve them because I never remember what you are supposed to use! I like the idea of Christmas colors! The tiny sizes are available here in Colorado- suits a small home better.

Hippie-grandma on crack, but in a good way. It made quite a statement for a teensy room. I think the padded walls are a unique touch to take the boxy feel out of it. Makes me think Red Riding Hood lives here. The wall paint color I would change but I don't know what to. Fun.

So fresh/refreshing feeling! It seems more spacious than 700 ft. Beautiful- thanks for sharing.

2lastnames: I also love the pink/white/wood color scheme. So is there a clear reason why women can love all colors but men can't live with pink/female colors? Ha! Aren't us people weird?

Good question from Robbybird- Maybe it would work to carefully tape down the cord in a nice straight line then paint over the tape to match the wall. Maybe a wide paper packing tape that will accept the paint. The somewhat visible tape would look better than the cord. I hate cords showing anywhere and there aren't any prefab solutions I know of. Hope for more suggestions here???

What a wonderful home- a feast for the eyes. LOVE the iron chairs surrounded by simple lines of the tables out in the patio. Love the fantastic blend of Asian & Modern. There are so many inspiring shots for color, arrangements, styles. Thank you!

Voted hot just because it was so weird, and then became funny.It could work somewhere- take up that challenge AT!

I love AT because it makes me see things in a new way and think about why I - or anyone- likes one style or another. A visual picnic every day-- thank you!

Solution for clean but dusty/ musty guest linens & towels: tumble in the dryer on low 5 or 10 minutes with a fabric softener sheet. Gets the dust right out. Light a nice but NOT overpowering candle in the guest sleep zone to freshen the air. And, please, a small lamp, clock and radio by the bed makes the guest's stay much more comfortable.

The basket of spare toiletries, toothbrush, etc., is so helpful., I was a recent drop-in sleepover at a friend's home due to an emergency situation. Her spares saved me from furry teeth. A spare robe and sleep-shirt is a good thing too! A friend in need IS a friend indeed!

What a masterpiece of planning for all the built-in & cleverly placed storage! The drawers that work on both sides of the wall- very cool use of space. Thanks for sharing.

Okay I figured out how to vote... I like the green shades being so different from other color schemes I have enjoyed on AT. Cool and refreshing is a warm climate. The bedroom is sooooo soothing.
