Whatever bonks me on the head, while opening the fridge I cook from that.

Maxwell -
Fantastic job!

Hope you pull ahead and win, but it's an honor to be nominated, as they say. I mean, what a coup, to be mentioned in the same breath as Elle decor really says something about what you've built here.

Congratulations!

While I loved the Mary's sunken living room and Rhoda's boho chic Ann Marie's Apartment from "That Girl!" with the inestimable Marlo Thomas was, how do the kids say it? Fabuuuuuuuuuulous, even though she was a temp in NYC and

@caiti So well said. My original comment should have been worded just like yours. I do feel there are many more successful examples of this style of home.

It doesnt come from having more, despite the amount of marketing done on this site to encourage to consume more items that will make our lives simpler."

I looked all over the intarwebz for similiar piece - couldn't find it. Instead: Baby, I would just detach it. Or saw it off! (or have a handyman do it) This would be very easy if it's a "ready to assemble" bit of furniture.

And if it felt wobbly - I'd reattach it at the crux by using a small bore drill bit, wood glue and some small dowels. It seems like the legs are real hard wood, so you would not have any problem drilling.

If it did not feel wobbly I'd just leave it off.

The little homie toy is probably saying "What the...?! Stop taking pictures in my window, freak!" BTW, if you live in a place where burglar bars are a necessity, try painting them to blend in with your window frame (not a contrasting color).

@btoddster - Hilarious. But the wrong tones. Everything is blue in MM's movies.

I actually like the busts of the bucks, though my grandmother had a room with alabaster sculpture and the kids were never allowed in there at all, except on special days. We only hung out in the den or the screen porch. This room is for grown up parties - were really expensive booze and coke are served.

PS. The blankie is adorable.

Shelves! And then maybe merch it out with some nice pottery. Use the outlets for curio lights.

A fish tank would be nice too, except fish are susceptible to temperature changes. You could end up with broiled goldfish. Or would they be poached?

Plus you might find it hard to clean and feed them up there.
