Oops: I meant "Northern" armchair, of course. Johnny Stacie's Super Sweet Loft House Tour \| Apartment Therapy Chicago Flag this comment	3/13/10 12:02 PM
Your orange armchair: I've got the same one, in turquoise velvet! What fabric is yours? And has it been re-upholstered? Thanks for those precious infos. By the way, I'm in Montreal... this must be a "Northern" sofa"! :-) Johnny Stacie's Super Sweet Loft House Tour \| Apartment Therapy Chicago Flag this comment	3/13/10 12:01 PM
Oh yes, that is indeed beautiful: it's a splendid mid-century modern showroom. Regrettably, the key word here is "showroom". This kid looks lost and lonely in this cold museum of a house.

Thanks stinkypants! I'll be at UO tomorrow to check. Flickr Find: Leslie's DIY Tufted Headboard \| Apartment Therapy DC Flag this comment	2/14/10 11:00 PM
This idea is GREAT! And please please tell us where that comforter slipcover comes from! I am raving mad about it!! Flickr Find: Leslie's DIY Tufted Headboard \| Apartment Therapy DC Flag this comment	2/13/10 12:00 PM
Leave them be! They're fabulous! Integrate them to your decor by way of color or style. The fabric is wonderful and these are by no means funky or weird colors. Please please spare these poor creatures. Help Refinish These 1960's Chairs \| Apartment Therapy New York Flag this comment	1/25/10 8:14 PM
Sometimes you have to make do with what you can afford. You obviously did well with that small space. But for having done the same when I was younger, I can assure you that it can not be a long-time solution. There comes a time where you need a place with at least ONE room where the wall is not 5 feet from your face.

In two different places where I lived, burglars entered the house even though they very well knew we were inside, because our doors were not locked. This is extremely terrifying. So now it's locked doors at all times in the city; at our summer cottage though, only at night or when we leave, since we're in and out of the house 200 times a day.

@ lychee Sure looks like it was taken just down the road from my country house last year, at the beginning of January :-) Weatherizing for Winter and Keeping Warm \| Apartment Therapy Boston Flag this comment	12/18/09 12:35 AM
Has anyone seen "Corrina Corrina", with Whoopie Goldberg and Ray Liotta? It's got the most accurate and gorgeous mid-century decor, bungalows, offices... Cute film and great acting, too! 10 Period Films with Fantastic Decor \| Apartment Therapy Chicago Flag this comment	12/18/09 12:31 AM
Your whole house has that "north of France" european feel... You have exquisite taste. And I'm sure it smells good in there too! Love the hamster painting, and the cupboard doors, and the "paniers" everywhere... The view is also part of the house, and it is heavenly. Bravo!!

Hated it beacuse of our long and freezing winters here in Quebec. Only reason, though. Have You Lived Without a Dryer? Survey \| Apartment Therapy Boston Flag this comment	12/12/09 6:38 PM
doubledutch, I understand what you are saying!! Our amateur-built country cottage is a wild child that has NO straight anything. The floors, walls, ceilings, doors, bath, joints are ALL out of plumb (if you ever read "Asterix and Cleopatra", think of architect Numerobis's houses). If you heat the little black stove in the living-room, you have to leave the room. If you cook anything that fumes, all the smoke gets mysteriously trapped in the bedroom located ...at the other end of the house. This house is a joke for at least a hundred reasons, that's why we love it so much. Home Quirks I've Learned To Live With \| Apartment Therapy Los Angeles Flag this comment	12/11/09 4:39 PM
Evocation of the "Fight Club" digs is true. One might also expect to discover "human skin" garments in the closets. Hot or Not? Ultra Distressed Interiors \| Apartment Therapy Boston Flag this comment	12/11/09 4:22 PM

Samantha's house in Bewitched. She had a Papa Bear chair!!!! And kitchen appliances from heaven. And though I hate colonial style, I loved the ambiance at the Stratford Inn, in Newhart. Flashback: The Huxtable House \| Apartment Therapy Chicago Flag this comment	12/4/09 9:10 PM
It can be great, but not on ALL surfaces. (floors walls ceilings=blah!) One is enough. By the way, a few years ago, I saw an ad on a real estate agent website, precising that the basement walls were finished with "naughty pine". Frisky little basement!

This is wise advice, and easy to put to work! At the office, there are 3 parties in the same week, and everybody's already worn out, with the end-of-the-year last call hysterics. I still had a few vacation days left so I decided to take that week off. This will allow me to ease into Christmas, shop slowly for favors, bake some goodies, and above all do some handmade stuff for family and friends -- I'm a graphic designer, and they love my little personalized surprises. I did that a few years ago and it was one of the most agreeable of my grown-up Noëls. 8 Tips To Stay Stress-Free This Holiday Season \| Apartment Therapy Re-Nest Flag this comment	12/1/09 9:53 PM
The "butterflies" wallpaper motif reminds me of the one in the dead girl's room in "Silence Of The Lambs". Huffff. House is great and info too, though! Thanks. eBay's The Inside Source \| Apartment Therapy Los Angeles Flag this comment	11/30/09 7:14 PM
