apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

lovely, lively, fun. what is that beautiful poem etched or affixed to the glass door/window?

This place is completely awesome!!! Hands down, my favourite house tour ever.

"Favorite Element: Strontium (its on the periodic table)"

Okay, that just made me laugh way too hard XD Chemistry nerds, unite! (My favourite element is Caesium.)

I adore and NEED that vintage ray gun.

this is amazing! i would love to spend a week in your heads! as creepy as it may sound...!

p.s. i did think it bordered on the feminine side (not just color, but pink would be the main bias)... but big props to a straight man who can enjoy pink this much!!

Magnificent! There's a little too much pink feminine artifice going on for my personal taste, but that doesn't mean that I don't see the genius behind it.

But my favourite part?

"Paint: Local Hardware Store"

None of this brand name fetishistic eco-friendly "it" colour nonsense. Just going to the hardware store and buying some paint in a colour they like. Bravo!

What a fun place. Cape Town rocks.

i'm in love with your place and aesthetic, and pink isn't even my thing.... and your daughter? how insanely cute (and chubby) is she?

love love LOVE the frenchie paintings!!

Francois and Tracy, will you adopt me? What a lovely, dreamy place.

"lovely, lively, fun. what is that beautiful poem etched or affixed to the glass door/window?"

I'm not sure what the name is, but it's by Rumi. It's hard to find any good resources for him online, but good luck

I love this house. Very beautiful.

Wow, I didn't read the beginning of the post, like who lives there. If you'd told it it was a single - possibly divorced woman - I'd have totally believed you.

Oh, but I do love that decorative painting in the guest room. White on orange, very cool.

Lots of charm, thanks for the viewing.

Wow, wow, wow! This home has so much personality! It's gorgeous. Thanks for inviting us inside.

this is one of the best house tours yet. gorgeous, cozy and LIVEABLE!

Amazing!!

This tour was so much fun to look at! Shows a lot of personality! You have made a lot of bold choices but it all works here. Definitely a wonderful place to be!

PS (The Screamer is lucky to grow up in such lovely surroundings.)

His friends think he's gay?

Uh, come out of the closet. The truth will set you free.

Delightfully whimsical. But all I could think of was the dust...so much 'stuff' and fabric.

idiotdogbrain, appreciate the lead to Rumi. you are right, hard to find. going to bookstore. again, what a great house.

I expected to read the comments and find this place skewered. It looks like a Martha Stewart flea market.

But at least they put their own individual stamp on it!

le bebe! i love the baby. the house is cute too.

I had so much fun with this house tour...thanks for sharing!!

i love love love your house :) the more i look the, the more i think you're my twin separated at birth :) i even have the same skirt, only in crazy blue

oh, "diy" means do it yourself or did it yourself :0) besides the baby, i think, your best diy is the walls, amazing job :)

I love, love, love the painted silhouettes in the photo with those great shadow boxes. Also, the orange wall with the white branches. Always interested in seeing a home belonging to people who like/use more than one specific period of decor; it makes it difficult to keep a cohesive, non-jarring look. Must have been hard to keep this place from getting out of hand. Bedroom with canopy a bit too girly for me. Adorable baby best accessory.

I love you.

Give me your house.

Whimsical, theatrical and charming. It works because it was inspired with good taste. Thanks for the tour. Four thumbs up.

Beautiful! I want to dive onto that bed with its gorgeous sheets.
