Oh, my gosh.. I have been meaning to talk to a neighbor of mine to have him STOP DOING THIS.
Ash is not welcome in my home! Old wood floors are sensitive and hard to clean!!
There must be a better way.

Personally, I think the pipes are pretty awesome. Could've probably gone even crazier with em. Great way to add electric, not have to rip up your walls and decorate at the same time!!

I really love the idea.. and will definitely do it to my own house someday.. but I just want to point out to anyone thinking about it in the near future.. note that ALL of these gorgeous rooms either a) have crown molding or b) have the ceilings painted black too.. this obviously makes it a lot easier than trying to paint a straight line between ceiling and wall.. which, when done yourself... may not look so glamorous...

If it weren't totally gross in a bathroom.. shag carpet in there wouldve been AWESOME!! :o)

Also try the grout cleaner from Restoration hardware.. they also sell.. what I would describe as a "giant toothbrush" to help with the job.
I worked on a portion of my white tile/white grout kitchen floor tiles (what a nightmare..) where the previous owners had the dog dish.. I only worked for 10 min or so and there was a noticeable difference. I don't know what's in it.. but most of their cleaning stuff is biodegradable.

My take: Room 1 as the bedroom with new free-standing wardrobe. Room 2 as LR with TV in closet and sofa/sitting area opposite. If you put the sofa with the back to the closet.. aren't you blocking both the door and access to the closet?

Or, hell.. forget the dining room.. eat at your coffee table like everyone else! :o) Put your couch and TV in the entry room.. #2 is your bedroom and #1 is your office/guest room.

Yout home is absolutely gorgeous.. made even more fantastic by that adorable basset you have. I'd really like to come over for some cocktails.. and to pet your dog.

Step One: Buy obscenely expensive loft just for entertaining.

I just wanted to add that this is actually "Katie and Greg's" Room. I don't want him to feel left out!!

Thanks everyone for all the positive feedback! Along with the feedback about the records on the walls... I guess we were just going for a shape (other than rectangular) with some color.. but I can't take credit for the placement of them.. we just hung them on nails that were already in the walls from years and years of previous tenants.. We did hang the 9 squares in the window pane arrangement on the brick though.. I have to ask Greg how he did it.

Thanks Boff. Mutt is hanging with Blossy over in the bed corner.

Dip: I'll sponge paint some unicorns on the wall JUST for you!!
