My advise, keep using them but in the mean time keep looking on eBay for the same collection so you will have few extra if you break one or two. :)

I love the architect but it looks very cold inside. I think the architect just designed EVERYTHING including the interiors. I don't think it's wrong. It just look like someone just wear Gucci from head to toe.

It will need some finishing touch so will look like human live in there not just a museum place. Normally in Metropolitan or Elle Decor magazine they will show like someone actually lives in each photo, such as a cup of coffee and opened book on the desk, flowers vase, loose fruits on kitchen counter top, shoes on floor, cute dog with dog bowl, etc. Those will help these photos to look more alive and not too stiff.

For mold problem, my friends will turn the low light bulbs on for few hours to reduce humidity in the bathroom but I think it's waste the energy. I recently purchased a 1kg bamboo charcoal pouch (which is very popular in Japan and very green) and I put them close to the tub. It helps to absorb the moist and odor. And every month you just shake it and put under the sun for an hour. You can use this for years.

I was curious about the comment from Nianmh and this is what I found. Quite scary.

Seem like we all might need to switch to soy-based fabric softener liquid BUT normally the fabric softener in the market are animal by products. So you need to pick the brand like Method or Ecover and they are more expensive.

The chair is B-Pop Side Laminate. It's one of my favorite chairs. Very fun, playful and approchable but it's not cheap though, around $250, must be hard to do stripes. :)

I saw them at dwr.com

I like the rooms by the way.
