Ally makes style look effortless - a great mix of period pieces and modern elements fit the space perfectly

I have both the Kohler Stillness and two Overstock faucet, one by Vilbosch and one by Kingston Brass. The quality of the Vilbosch is way superior to the Kohler (the KB is about the same) and was half the price

When do we vote?
• After a week of nominations, we'll collect up all your comments on the five individual posts and sort them down to the top six contenders. The, on Monday, January 29th we'll post a voting survey of these top six and repost it all week so that you have plenty of time to see it and vote. With one week of nominating and one week of voting, we should have a good turnout.
Is anyone else confused by this?

As long as it is cohesive throughout I don't think it matters whether moldings are light or dark, ornate or plain. We have a unique modern house, with modern art but plain moldings in a walnut stain.

At last a tall plant/tree I can't kill off! I think one piece might be a piece of art, too many would be creepy.

We have an earlier model similar to Ikea Malm. We used it for 10 years in Belgium, and it survived two moves there. Then we shipped it to the US in 2000 and used it as our bed until 2004. We moved again and now use it as a spare bed. 18 years so far. I think Ikea beds are plenty sturdy!
