I second, third and fourth just about every comment above. @Alicelost took the words right out of my mouth about changes, as did @Nisiepie. AT was once the way I treated myself after a long day of corporate hell. I never once doubted that I would find something delicious to look at and/or something interesting to read. Then the change to the integrated site and suddenly all I saw was boring white space with a few photos. It's taken me months to warm up again and then bang! this ridiculous little article. So completely out of context on this site. I honestly thought the site had been hacked. I feel strangely sullied by having seen it. Do us all a favor and take it down. It has no place here. I feel for those readers who mention children in their family having now been introduced to porn. Nice job AT.

When I grow up I want to live just like you. Maybe minus a wee but of stuff but otherwise, what more can one ask for later in life but a room of one's own, a comfy bed, books, art, sun, and fresh food just outside the back door. Kudos to you for all you are doing and the lovely, homey space you are doing it in.

Four-thirty am France time and the details of my spring garden/patio reno have had me up starting at 2am every night for the last several weeks. Thank you for this lovely bit of therapy.

My favorite home tour of all. We live in Alsace and have had a very challenging time renovating our home. Our builders made a mess, took our money, and disappeared so we are left to repair what we can ourselves. In the meantime I dream of the day when we can start again. Although our place asks for something slightly more modern, the colors and textures are exactly what I hope to achieve. Simple, light and grounded with things that are natural and earthy. That said, I wonder if you consult and might help us to design what we will one day complete? I can visualize only so far, and we've lost trust in the people around us.

As a former shelter worker, I concur with those who have suggested a rescue. However, if you are more of a pure-breed person, many breeds do have characteristics better suited to apartment living than others and I don't think there's anything wrong with choosing by breed. I live in France and stumbled across a wonderful breed I'd never heard of before that is hearty and enjoys the outdoors, but snoozy and lazy indoors. The Basset Fauve de Bretagne. They are rare in the states, but if you are interested in dog breeds and would like one that's uncommon, I would recommend. Ours is a cross but he is just a wonderful boy. Calm indoors, loving with everyone and particularly excellent with children, and a lot of fun when he gets outside. Of course there's no guarantee an individual dog will have all breed traits. But the Basset Fauve, being relatively unknown in the States, has not been over bred and should still be true to its original nature. I'm a huge fan! And of course, I love all the sight hounds, Irish wolfhounds being the top!

Chris and Kenny are my favorite. They look genuinely relaxed and happy together. And they have a sweet place to boot!


What is Your Favorite House Tour Portrait?

Please remind me who the artist is who did the living room prints. I remember seeing originals of some of his work at the Brooke Alexander gallery in the 80s and have always wanted one! Are these originals and if not where did you find them?

We have a very similar situation! We're on our second IKEA oven and about to take it back as well. It takes ages to heat up and the fan doesn't go on. It's as if it's only getting half of the electricity it needs but the wiring is fine. We will definitely look into this. Although we live in a very rural area in France, we have a tower just behind us. This could be just the thing to save our sanity! Thank you!!
