Beautiful table - thanks for donating! We're building an addition to our 1910 house - this would be a great piece in the new space!

I don't think you have to go all the way up... just standard height (up to bottom of upper cabinets) with some fresh blue/yellow/green/white tile you like and bring it around on the corner on half wall, just continue the line.

I may be the only one who can't stand glass tile esp as subway tile though. I think it'll look dated soon...

the bedroom ceiling is magnificent. I'm not fond of the yellow in the foyer though. It's sort of my nightmare color choice gone wrong... sorry! Perhaps it's not as neon-y in person?

I like this one. The wall texture is fun, and the color scheme warm and calming, but not stuffy. Also, the other too made my head spin. I'd get nauseated sitting in those rooms. Strangely, the current standing is exactly opposite how I would rank the rooms...

Nah, I just painted my bathroom a deep orange and love it, but the bedroom I want to keep calm.

FWIW - Swedish beds are plenty soft (if you want to)! I guess the image of sleeping directly on top of the box spring isn't really accurate. That said, I like it firm :-)

Also, Anna Europe, Swedish culture is surprisingly homogenous... but bed skirts strike me as more American than Scandinavian, for the frill factor.

This is indeed spectacular. I love it because it's not something I would have thought of - the bare bones and use of black for instance - and yet it seems like a home I would love. Love the naked feeling, high ceilings, fun accents (yellow doors!), bathroom and sink slate - wow. If I can incorporate a smidgen of this in my home, I'd be lucky.

I love the kitchen most. Wonderful colors, warm and calming, yet fresh. If you remember the name of the blue that'd be fab. But in general so very nice. It's colorful, but not tacky, it's got lots of fun details and vintage elements without giving me the feeling I've gotten on many recent house tours here - it's all display, and will get dated soon. Not here. I also love the colors - again, so many recent house tours have been to bland. Still, this is not over-doing the color either. Wallpaper is also such a nice change from painted walls everywhere.

Congrats on your space!

so refreshing, the color choices both vibrant and calming somehow. More stuff sitting out than I could deal with though. I always wonder when I see places with many decorative objects sitting around: do they ever move? collect dust? don't you get tired of them? not necessarily a critique because I simply don't know how to do that: any free surface in my home gets used for un-decorative stuff sooner or later, and my kids grab and move everything that isn't attached.

thanks for the color name mrs.limestone!

On hiding a TV: agreed, it's hard, and flat against the wall is about as good as it gets. Once I saw someone hanging a colorful quilt over it when not in use. It worked in that particular home.
