I think this is the most inspiring sneak peek of all so far for me. It’s more personal though since I plan on moving back to Williamsburg, Brooklyn and hopefully buying an apartment. I absolutely love everything she did with this place. The bedroom looks like a beautiful little modest love nest. :)

I love this place too. Especially since apts. in NY can be so dark and warren like. It is too bad that when certain good design becomes popular it is considered *trendy* and you should not use it any more! Ha! If you like it, you should use it. Design & decoration is always personal even if others have done similar things. Cathy + Erik – if you want to find cool stuff cheap, come to the thrift stores in PA, a nice weekend drive.

This seems like such a comfortable and cheery place to come home to. I love it!

Does anyone know where I can find the bird prints in the living room?

love love love. love it all! we actually have the bird print also. so jealous of your hallway credenza from long island!!! we are on the hunt for a perfect herman miller shell rocker– maybe we’ll find it at the brooklyn flea in the spring. :) our style is very similar! maybe we should have you over to our place in fort greene and we can talk design! :)

There have been no “mean” comments posted about these photos. This sneak peak shows a home that IS beautiful and DOES use several familiar trends. What are we coming to if any bit of commentary that’s not entirely approving and effervescent is labeled “mean?”

As a design junkie, I frequently seek the opinions of my kids, friends, neighbors or anyone else who will indulge me. If they don’t love my décor, or don’t get it, or even if they get it, but hate it, so what? It’s still interesting to hear their points of view. I’m not going to cry myself to sleep because someone doesn’t like the mirror I’ve hung above the fireplace. I listen to their constructive criticism and continue on my own path to décor heaven blissfully.

Discourse , both pro and con is what makes these posts – and life interesting!
