yes, the brady casegoods are manufactured by MGBW and sold exclusively through Crate & Barrel: the non-tiered nightstand and wood finish are available there alone. And although I havent seen the MGBW finishes, I love the C&B one, its very rich and deep, with an almost metallic shine to it. I also think its funny that it cost more to buy directly from the manufacturer, I always thought it was supposed to save you money to cut out the middleman!

i like that there is no definate footboard/headboard, and while i dont like it as a "normal" north/south bed, i think it could work great as an east/west daybed.

and i agree that we dont really need to read posts about things that you dont like; and where do you stop, its GOOD design that is hard to find, that is what should be featured. it almost makes me think you posted something negative about cb2 as a way to balance all the other postitive things youve posted about them in the past, trying to make yourself feel less of a sell-out to the big boxes?

and the sconces are from cb2, crate sells a similar one, but its bigger and slightly different

i also chose a since it will be the easiest to live with the longest...i just think youll tire of the large flowers far too quickly

they are both great fabrics, though, so either way i think youll be happy!

i cant seem to find a way to purchase the jielde lamps, or build my own, on the notonqueen site...though, anthropologie (natch) sells the floor lamp and table lamp in ivory...they are lovely, and just curvy and intresting enough not to be sterile, i love them, thanks for showing all the different configurations and colors

gorgeous, and you're absolutely right about their old-but-new aesthetic, which is so much better than all of the new-but-old that is going around (i don't care how cute they are, plastic coated antique furniture in hot pink and blue is just wrong)...i also think these would be worth every effort to maintain; im more concerned about where im going to hang them...

i adore this apartment...very nicely done...i cant even imagine the amount of painters tape and how much measuring went into those treatments, bravo!

*also, k in ditmas, it looks like the "towel holder" is simply two orange wire tree sculptures from ikea...i have four of them throughout my living room, they come in a lot of colors and are so fun (and uber cheap)...i love this application of them too, ingenious!
