If I want relationship advice, I'll ask myself, a therapist, my friends, or at the very very very worst, Dear Abby. NEVER. NEVER. A design blog.

Please. Stop. Now.

The table and chairs in the dining room are Ethan Allen. I have a set exactly like that in my kitchen :-). What a lovely home your parents have. Thank you for sharing.

It's just a design preference.
Some people like having open cabinets in the kitchen and others like being able to close the door on the cabinets.

When he wrote, "I don't even have a television", I took it to mean that it's just not a design issue he has had to face rather than any implied snobbery.

If you want to flaunt the tv, go ahead. If you want to hide it, that's your choice.

Why the level of hostility in some of these threads?

Valser water bottles? That looks like the name on one of the caps.

These are really cool ideas. The products this particular company produces appear to be the same type of bottle. I don't recall seeing a bottle like that in the grocery aisle in the U.S. Are they simply re-purposing one specific bottle?

I really like the office area. What type of table is that and where did you get that ledge above the table that you use for pencils etc.

She's done a fabulous job decorating the house. I love the colours - look at the bedroom! And there are lots of great design ideas one can take and work within one's budget.

The criticism about the yellow clothes and the child's rationale not being believable? Oh please.... my kids and kids I've been around have interesting ideas and don't need to be prompted to voice them.

I don't think she's rigid. I remember reading an interview in Cookie Magazine last year (?) where she talked about adapting her ideas to reality when she had twins.

Parenting is challenging...why attack another parent for her opinions when you don't share her philosophy?
