I love this house! It's so refreshing to see someone with money spend it the way I would spend it ;-) Meaning on art and one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture. I also love that the owner is in several pics. She fits right in. Corey Lynn Calter's Grown Up Home House Tour |

Glad to see something unique and different on AT. While the overall feel of the apartment is too bleak for my personal tastes, I love that the couple is following their own vision. Even Rae's shoes match the decor. I'd love to see a picture of the family in the photo spread, especially since Rae is a fashion designer! The more variety on AT, the better. I only come here on occasion, because most house tours look exactly the same (Eames, Panton, chalkboard walls, chevron rugs...) I get more out of looking at spaces like this that may not be my taste but offer a unique perspective, than I do from a perfectly-balanced space that looks like everything else.

I'm commenting a little late, but a big NO to Eames and Panton chairs. I feel like pairing mid-century modern with traditional furniture is a trend that's jumped the shark. Save your money and go with something more timeless that you will grow into...chairs that can be reupholstered when you get sick of the color. I like amisdottir's suggestions above. Lighten up the walls, move the table 90 degrees (if you can), and embrace the gorgeous furniture you've inherited. Don't hide it with mid-century furniture.

I definitely clean before people come over. I'm not a disaster, but papers and clothes have a way of getting all over the apartment. I focus on the kitchen and bathroom and definitely make sure all surfaces are wiped clean. I appreciate when other people clean before I come over. I see it as a sign of respect. I recently invited my sister and her family over for dinner, and they came over dressed as if they were going to a fancy restaurant. I loved it! It made me feel like they really appreciated the dinner invitation. I feel that it is only polite to reciprocate and not only clean my home from top to bottom, but to make myself presentable as well.

I pay all of my bills online, so it makes it super easy to just shred all mail that comes in. I already have a digital copy of everything. Also keep in mind that most of the menus and other fliers that we used to save can now be accessed online. How to Be Your Own Professional Organizer: 10 Top Tips from the Pros |

I have beige and black tiles in my bathroom. White shower curtain, white towels, and quirky solid white soap dish and toothbrush holder. I also have a framed photograph I took of a mushroom on a camping trip. Many people remark on how clean and elegant the bathroom is!
