How about a ground of farrow and ball's vert de terre, trim in a creamy white color, and door and other accents in black?

Not sure if that scheme would fit into the neighborhood, but I like how it is both earthy and modern at the same time.

Monika -- I think much of the earlier collection is still available at Garnet Hill, just not as prominently displayed as the new stuff. You can also check out the Eileen Fisher website, which carries bed linens as well. Good luck.

Ideally, I'd go for white box modernism. But high modernism isn't forgiving. Space has to have great bones for it to work.

The recent curlicue modernism is attainable and easy to live in.

No amount of comfort could make up for that eyesore.

Maybe I've read too many shelter magazines, but these photos seem to be canned shelter magazine style. Is canned eclecticism an oxymoron?

In the main living area, the small white side table between the two chairs isn't close enough for someone sitting in either chair to comfortably rest a drink on it. I have a vague recollection of Jeffrey Bilhuber quoting Billy Baldwin on good design being a place one can sit and comfortably set down a drink. (okay, I've definitely read too many shelter magazines)

I agree with Harley - I like the chairs as is. I have a newish one, and I wish it looked a bit worn.

Jonathan Adler also has a screen worth mentioning: http://www.jonathanadler.com/shop/product.php?productid=16657&cat=363&page=1

Old Hollywood style, slightly pricey at $850.

Fantastic apartment, great terrace, and I appreciate that the owners don't feel the need to replace/update everything, and don't waste energy on a/c (that was in the article).

But how pretentious!

Very nice, and realistic for a change.

Tatyana -- Your advice to reverse the dining and living areas doesn't account for the narrowness of the dining area.

Please - Identify that table!
