Hi! I live in a barely 400 square-foot apartment with 2 cats and one boyfriend. We love a tidy, healthy space. Unfortunately this boyfriend (in his bachelor days) bought tons of awful bulk cleaning products --full of nasty, toxic chemicals that smell like a school cafeteria. Now, I'm biding my time until those products are used up---just wishing for the lovely packaging and scents from Method. I did introduce the almond scented wood floor cleaner to our product arsenal- and it changed our lives. I will cherish every cleaning day!!

Indeed, congratulations! It looks like a great place to read nice feminist novel. Europeans do the whole mixing of eras so well--and I believe why it works so well there (think Ren. villa carved wood panelling with ultra-modern white Minotti leather sectionals, etc.) is that color and texture is used very sparingly. I would definitely choose a cool (as in not warm) white for walls and ceiling & then keep bright bold furniture on the cool side as well (blues, greens, purples). This will help to balance the seriously heavy, warm library feeling. Go very minimal/white/modern with your light fixtures. Also, I think green plants will help to fill the gap between craftsman pop---maybe succulents for the blue tones & clean lines? Good Questions: What to do with all this dark wood?
