you've made a great space on a budget and it looks much more coherent than hodge podge.
the red accents work everywhere in your home. love the foyer. great job

it's a beautiful space. re: the fiesta ware - while quantity of objects is one issue, i think my sense is it's too linear and symmetrical - particularly the plates lined above the window, and the glass cabinet with rows of identical items. very much store-display inspired. i wonder if some of the areas can't be unpacked a bit. but the theme, colors, and layout are very inviting and fun to look at!

very low maintenance - normal/cold machine wash, hang to dry. we probably put ours in the wash once each month and after a year and it still looks new.

i like these because they are waterproof and washable so you can skip the whole liner altogether.

i totally agree with goldtoof's point. i was surprised by the above assocations of good design with workmanship, quality, durability, resale value, morality, etc. all of those are contingent.

"Let Crate and Barrel hire their own designers and offer something new, they should be ashamed of themselves."

any designers want to chime in?

GF got these i think from her mother. two observations: 1. they seem to do well with static but haven't done much to reduce drying times; 2. they are easily mistaken for dog toys, so we need to use caution when unloading laundry.

there are some small MA towns that should/could be on the list, like N. Adams, home of Mass MOCA, and Montague. serenity, now.

love craigs, but with the termination of listpic it got a lot worse. at the time, word was that CL would be managing their own viewer, but haven't heard or seen anything...

we used "raincoat roofing systems" to replace the roof on our condo building (smaller than yours) a few years ago. at the time, their bid was competitive and so far, the work seems fine. http://www.raincoatroofing.com/
good luck.

what about that small wood credenza / chest you have in the hallway with the big square knobs? flea market? very cool.
thanks for sharing.

probably too late in the game to introduce a new thread, but...has anyone tried to stain maple cabinets? we have very nice solid maple with lacquer coating, but would like to go darker. is it just a question of light sanding or does maple not take well to this?
thanks!

great job, a perfect balance of lived in and show place.
questions - where did the sofas in the living room and lights over the table come from?
thanks for sharing.

the only thing that confused me was the 1,000 sq foot on the banner outside a 2,400 sq foot home - does anyone at AT know the story on this?

otherwise, i know nothing of the dwell process but i'm not sure how different it is than hiring an interior designer (other than the cost!)

i saw the bed in question last weekend - up front and personal in the store on lincoln. while i still would prefer a bed with a headboard, i do think it is interesting and the scale seems far more reasonable than in the catalog image.
