I think it depends on the decor overall. If the colors of the walls, furniture, and accessories are all of the same palette it draws the space together and creates a bigger impact than just white walls could.

If someone doesn't have an eye for color or likes "funky" walls it'd be better to just paint it all white.

@mjr:

I got 6 chairs from Industry West a few weeks ago and they look great. They quoted 3-4 weeks and the chairs got there in 2. Look well constructed, have nice rubber pads on the bottom to keep them from scratching up my floors. I can't vouch for how well they hold up under heavy use but for $135 I can't think of a bad thing to say about them.

Good idea but not my aesthetic. Reminds me too much of Patches the Sad Clown.

I honestly don't mean to be nit-picky about the writing, but I just can't parse this sentence and it's been bugging me all afternoon. Can someone please translate?

So much so that I did it at my husband's and my wedding dinner two years ago yesterday!.

It's the "two years ago yesterday" thing that's throwing me off. She mentions an anniversary dinner, was yesterday their two year anniversary and they featured recycled glass bottles at both their wedding dinner and their anniversary dinner?

I love the look of a low bed, but agree that they're tough to deal with in real life - and I didn't even think about the bug or mold issues!

Re: the picture, not to beat a dead horse, but really? People are that offended by a somewhat artistic picture of a girl wearing PJs sitting on the edge of her bed? I hope the Sears catalog never darkens your doorstep, lest your eyes be subjected to further assault by women wearing...clothing. And I would certainly steer clear of all those dirty, dirty paintings at the Met, you may catch a glimpse of something even more titillating.

@ Heneage - that should read "than it does on the wall."

I saw this house first hand during the Modern Atlanta home tour. The photos don't do it justice - what you can't see is how they subtly and seamlessly progressed from traditional furniture / design in the front (older) part of the house to modern in the back. It was my favorite house on the tour, and gives me hope for design in Atlanta!
