apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

still not diggin' 'em

I voted yes, and this is an even bigger yes!

i voted yes, but this is a no

I love them. I was going to do a horizontal strip in my bathroom, but then I realized that my 1920's plaster is so terribly uneven that there would be no way that I could make the line not wobbly. So I opted not to.

i really like the gray chair in the first picture, where is it from?

signe, the chair is from ikea. in fact, everything in the photo is from ikea. i don't think the chair is in the states yet.

i like both - although i won't run home and paint either on my walls.

After this year's fall colors contest I've decided I absolutely hate striped walls. They look even worse with artwork that is hung on top of them with complete disregar to the stripes themselves. However, I think these examples work. In the first, the stripes are the primary design element and also sort of match the wood floor. In the second, I think they're really important to the sort of classical greek feel of the room and carry you from one part of the room to another.

sorry, but it's just too circus-y for me. sort of like, "hey look at me, i'm whimsical." (i'm sure a lot of people could come up with some pretty similarly damning things to say about my space, but that wasn't the question...)

I love the blue stripes but was wondering if they would be too much for a two story wall. Have any suggestions for stripes or other painting ideas on a high wall?? I also love the table and charis in the picture where are they from??
