apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Oh man... just... wow. I like the concentrated bursts of color - but they seem a little random.

And I know this is about color - but the 4 chairs in the livingroom make me think "Star Trek - the Ekornes Generation"

So... were they having a "buy one lounger get 17 free" sale?
I kid, I kid!

I like your restrained use of color and the orange-red palette is lovely. It doesn't overwhelm you but really breaks up all the white.

Not so "happy"! I'm sorry but when I originally saw the pic of the living room...I thought it was some sort of dentist's office with those chairs. Say "Ahhhhhhh!"

Haha, first thing I thought of when I saw that opening picture was how nice the foot massage was going to be with my pedicure.

I'm speachless

wow...there like seating for 40 in this place...

Thank you, poisonhypnotique! I thought dentist office too! Some sort of space aged meeting of dental chairs.

You'll love it at Levitz.

I adore the paper flowers, and the rug in the living room is great.

Other than that...A bit too nail salon for my taste. Sorry. I have never seen so many lounge chairs in one space. It's...odd.

All snark aside (no, really), I wonder if the small multicoloured rug in the lounge room is happy or silly? The idea to put something colourful and soft on the hard shiny floor surface is definitely right, but this tiny novelty rug doesn't unify the furniture grouping in the way that a larger rug (with furniture actually on top of it) might do.

I do very much like the choice of a warm creamy white as a backdrop for the pops of primary colour thoughout. Bright cool white would have been a bit harsh IMO.

Umm, no thank you to everything.

Tile, tile everywhere! Why is the rug next to the coffee table rather than under it? It has a vague sense of "we decorated in the 80s/early 90s and still have some 70s stuff too." It's colorful, but not in a modern way. And I never thought of stark white with a few pops of blinding primary colors as 'warm'. Nope...not doin it for me.

Modfan, I like your subtle reference! Those chairs are very comfy but 4 in one room is a bit much. For the price of 4 of those chairs they could have gotten a really nice sofa and a couple other lounge chairs.

oh wait...I just saw the HUGE butter-yellow leather couch. Did these people hijack an Ekornes truck?!

I think the colors in these rooms need to be more unified. Little pops of color are good, but when the surroundings are so stark, I think more color is needed.

I did think someone was posting their waiting room or something at first. I like the colors, though.

Now I feel like an idiot for consistently begging AT for a Miami edition. I thought we had more style than this.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

I feel bad though because it obviously makes Lisa happy and that's all that really matters.

Maybe this is something you just keep to yourself.

Wow, it's great to see doctors adding personal touches to their waiting rooms like this!

It looks more like a lobby at a hotel than someone's living room. Looks nice, but a bit cold...not homey.

i love the sheer curtain panel in the first room.

although i have to agree w/ a few people. not to be mean, but it does seem sort of contrived in a way. it sort of looks like you furnished it all at once from the same store, not a lived in loved place. but it has good potential. i suggest reading the first AT book. i think it would help you're place look less cold.

*please, take that in a constructive way.

I like the small green, red and blue tables in the first photo. They look like the perfect size for a cocktail.

Why does each chair need both a side table and an arm-rest table?

To add something positive: I love the fan!

I did think the dentistry thing as well. I recently had the pleasure of sitting in a very comfortable chair and I asked my friend, if you had to choose between driving this chair and having a couch, which would you have? The chairs we sat in were nothing like this, but I assume those shown here are damn comfortable. Ok, they stick out and they look weird and unsociable, but when you sit in one and the world doesn't matter, that's all that really matters sometimes. I'm going to have to go against convention and suppose those chairs are probably more worth it than they appear. There's some other strangeness about, but I wanted to address that. I imagine if there were some carpeting or larger rugs, not a large picture of an eye (I think), it would become more colorful. I can see there is color, but there should be more. The chairs are neutral, as are the walls and the floors, it just begs for paint and rugs. Wouldn't want to cut in on the "breezy" aspects and overwhelm, it just needs some more.

Wow, I concur with everyone else. The loungers look like a dentist office combined with a hotel lobby, and the bedroom looks like a motel room, too.

I'm in LOVE!! I'm moving in next week. Your place is cool beyond cool.

your home is really unique and i can see your style throughout it all, not everyone can achieve that same cohesive environment...nice home.

I think that the color really pops well against the white... but the bedroom needs help.
