I do think the semi-levitating seat cushion is an interesting twist as well. Quirky Midcentury Chair by Yinka Ilori ICFF 2013 |

Good style goes with good style -- without seeing what the rest of the room is like, I'm having a hard time seeing how something with good lines and beautiful wood grain couldn't work with "the rest of the home's decor". Before & After: An Art Deco Makeover Akicsihaz |

It looks like almost everything you've got is a "warm" -- beige chairs, rug, and stools, pinky-red sofa, wood bar stools and shelving. There are a ton of options (as always) and I think a lot of it depends on if you can paint your brick, if you *want* to paint your brick, and what you want the focus of the room to be.

I dunno, that is quite a bit of labor -- smaller pieces with lots of corners and multiple materials/finishes are a PITA to work with, in my experience. It's a hot looking piece in a hot trend. Before & After: Sarah Saves a Bar Cart |

Interesting that AT had the sense to pull their most recent article about this gross trend, but this article stays up...guessing because it's not on the home page and so gets to hang out unnoticed? Wall Candy: Funky Feathered African Jujus |

To comment on the actual work: this is just wonderful. Kudos on getting rid of those shutters around the windows, and for wisely painting bricks around the fireplace itself white (I imagine they weren't nearly as lovely and soot-free as the newly-uncovered chimney stack). Having the mantel, opening brick, and ceiling paneling (?!?) all one color is so much more peaceful for the eyes. Likewise great touch not painting the wood shelves inside the built-ins, it highlights the shelves and the objects on them. The whole living room looks open and comfortable, not over-crowded.

This post is a wonderful test of who actually reads the post and who just jumps straight to "Post a comment" to criticize. Before & After: Kate & Ellen's Living Room Revamp January Cure Reader Projects |

Jessica ND -- I think you're missing the distinction between "chalk paint" (paint with chalk in it) and "chalkboard paint" (paint that turns surfaces into chalkboards). Before & After: A Worn Out Wooden Floor Gets a Chalk Paint Finish VanHook & Co. |

Odd question but: did they lower the ceiling? In the before, there's a drywall corner along the ceiling, and quite a bit of space between the window and the ceiling line. In the after, no extra angles and the window's right by the ceiling. Before & After: Little Kitchen, Big Style The Sweeten |

So many strong colors all on top of each other, with no relief. Lots of broad strokes in the furniture and decoration choices, but with no finer details. Even something like neutral throw pillows instead of the matchy-matchy ones you have on the couch would break it up a little bit better. And yet in the kitchen, the one room in your house where you have lots of beautiful pale, blank space via the cabinets, you go with a safe green. Overall, it's a beautiful palette, but it doesn't feel like anything flows together, instead it's just blocks of color jammed in next to each other.

I third the "what about Boston?" question -- I think you should expand AT where your readers are. If there's a strong contingent for a SW city, then by all means...but why stretch to try and create a market when you already have one clamoring for its own AT?

Possible TMI, but I'm a huge fan of what this article refers to as, "the cup thing." (www.keeper.com for more info) Happiness is never having to bum a tampon off a complete stranger in a public restroom. I rinse mine out in the shower every morning, and then boil it to sterilize before putting it away each month. The fact that it's green is really just a bonus; I like it because of the convenience, honestly. Blogging NY Magazine: Green Backlash |
