Gorgeous place! You guys have an awesome eye for detail! Well done!

I love this house! I also love that white lacquer-looking desk. I think it's from World Market, and I've been thinking of purchasing, and seeing how great it looks in your house I'm going to do it!

I want those sheets! I love every inch of this place!

Cute cute cute!! But DANG thats a lot of stuff. Why so much dishware? I didnt even see a dining area that fits more than 2 people.

Its "gamut".

charming. I didnt think i was going to like it, but i do. It IS a lot of stuff, but somehow it's not completely overwhelming, and there's nice styling overall. But, and I love you, I do.. but you HAVE TO get rid of that overhead ceiling fixture in the main room with the arc lamp... it's a sore thumb in a land of lovely

Love it! Where did you get the desk from? I've been looking for something like that for the past few months.

Such a great aesthetic. I could totally see myself living in this place (with a bit less clutter, though).

Your bed is teeny! Your sofa is gigantic! Your place kind of feels like a trip through Alice in Wonderland, in some ways fun and others quite dizzy.

So much lovely to take in. I could spend a month gawking at these photos. Very tastefully done.

LOVE the black picture wall, and your pottery collection is divine!

Is there a source on the desk? It's just what I'm looking for! I'm kicking myself for letting a sling chair on Craigslist go, it looks so cool as a desk chair!

very fun place! not my style but definitely could come and visit!

Naijagirl the desk looks to be world markets Josephine desk.

I have also been eying it and seeing how it looks in a real space gives a good perspective on it. love it even more.

I LOVE this home! The colors, the details, everything. Great job! I've been eyeing that sofa from Ikea myself.

I love your house! Some might think too much stuffs, but I think you have actually found a place for every item you own. =) well done!

Ok I love that sofa but I currently own an IKEA sofa and it's dreadful. Can anyone attest to how it holds up over time, comfort level, price, etc.? I'm really curious because I'm in love!

This is gorgeous... and the photography is spectactular too!

Great tour - I like things a little more sparse but I like how you've arranged the things you do have. Love the use of pattern. Also, that entryway is awesome - been debating high gloss charcoal for my bedroom; love the drama!

Wow! That jade plant must be like a hundred years old!

I admire your plants and your finials and your ceramics and your artwork. But, most of all, I admire your bravery for having a full-length mirror in the bathroom! :-)

Oh, and that Paul Klee print -- my parents had that same one, in the house where I grew up in the 1950's.

Wonderful! I adore the apothecary cabinet in the bedroom and the chest of drawers in the bathroom with the wonderful knobs. The dark walls with the photos also add great interest. I could spend all day in there looking at their "one of a finds".

we have a similar floorplan and I've been wrestling with options for our large chaise sectional like yours.
my husband has been trying to convince me that blocking part of the french doors with the chaise wouldn't be so bad, but I've been totally against it thinking it would be a horrible for the traffic flow between the rooms. but after seeing yours, it's really not that bad. it actually makes it feel a little cozier. I'm going to try this over the weekend.
thanks!

I love you're place... my husband is trying to get rid of my stuff but looking at your place I think I might go buy some more stuff!

Amazing! Such incredible depth and placement. Loving every inch of this place.

Where oh where is the shower curtain from?? It's great! Very charming apartment.

A wonderful house! And in such a great neighborhood!

Beautiful and so happy!!!

Beautiful home

I love it! Though have to agree with the overhead fixture in the living room...can you remove that?

Great tour! Great job on the photos too - some unique shots. I appreciate so many aspects of this place. The use of color (bedroom). The use of contrast (black walls). Unique furnishings.

Things I loved the most: the lamps in the bedroom, and THAT KITCHEN TABLE OMG. So, so awesome.

An aside, was anyone else confused by the intro to this post? I read it thinking "ok, it's not a house...do they live on a boat? In a yurt?" I was waiting for some big reveal.

I love this place. I do agree with a few posters that there is just way too much stuff (like on the walls and on the side tables) but I prefer a less cluttered approach to decorating.

I've read the intro like 5 times and I still don't get it! Ha!

Love love love this tour! It mimics our home in many ways but I sometimes think I have too much stuff and take away a few things. I just love so many things I want to be able to see them all! But wow they really have lots of stuff! Love it though!

Love it love it love it!
I, too, want to where the shower curtain came from - pleeeze???

WOW!

You do clutter really, really well. And I mean that as a HUGE compliment. Perfectly imperfect.

Although I think there is a bit too much stuff, I admire how you've nevertheless made a place for everything. And you've also made everything look so good! You've got a great eye, and an equally great ability to style things without making the place look like an impersonal magazine shoot. I love the kitchen table and the shower curtain (another request for the source of the latter).

But DANG thats a lot of stuff. Why so much dishware? I didnt even see a dining area that fits more than 2 people.

Just cause you can't see a large table doesn't mean they don't entertain and use that dishware. You have to be creative in a small space. We don't have room to keep even a small table set up on the regular, but we still have large dinner parties that require a lot of dishware. We have a fold-up table that can be kept in a closet; we set it up in our living area or patio when we entertain. Maybe they do something similar.

My favorite room is your bathroom; it's absolutely lovely. I adore all your personal details and the way you creatively fill a wall space. I don't think your place is cluttered at all, and I'm sure in person it looks far less busy.
Gorgeous and well done. I can't wait to see what you will do with a larger space someday.

That is a lot of stuff, but very well curated. LOVE your bathroom, & the kitchen table is TO DIE FOR. E@T -love it! May have to copy it!

OMG! OMG! I love your place so so much. From the layout (dig the French doored bedroom alcove) and bed linens to all the little touches like the turquoise scale, vintage exposed bulb and white w/gold print tray. I’m totally lusting over the brown chest of drawers with the small drawers on top and your shower curtain.

A lot of dishware? I guess but its quite obvious to me this couple are collectors. I've got the same size space as them, no dining table (but an island), hardly drink and I've got a ton of midcentury barware.

i adore your home. one of my favorites so far.

... and that shower curtain? i melt.

Totally my style! I like a lot of interesting things around but it's not always easy to arrange so it doesn't look cluttered, bravo....I'm taking notes!
My favorite room is the bedroom, love the bedding and that wonderful daybed/bench, I think I'd put a little color on the wall tho'. One of my favorites ever. Thanks!

Thank you for all the kind comments on our apartment!! In response to the shower curtain inquiries, it is from Anthropologie but currently out of stock.

I knew that looked like an Anthropologie shower curtain. Out of stock? Drat.
Your home is beautiful. I am digging the decor in the entryway. I never would have considered painting the walls black, but it really works well with the contrasting artwork and mirror.
So jealous of your vintage arc lamp in the living room :P

I would not have the nerve to paint an entry way black, but it really works here. Love the bed sheets/pillow colors. Also desire that kitchen table, adorbs.

Great place. The black in the hall does really pack a punch. My favorite thing was the op art picture. What overhead light fixture were people talking about. I hope they aren't talking about that arc lamp. I think that thing is a classic.

the "e@t" sign is original. I was impressed by the creativity of it.

Love it! One of my favorite house tours so far!

What an amazing use of colour and pattern! It's the very definition of eclectic and yet it all works harmoniously.

The only thing that irks me is the framed couple portrait(s) next to the bed. If you want to be reminded of what your lover looks like and how much you love him/her, just roll over and open your eyes, dammit!

But as I said, everything else is superb.

And...

Wow! That jade plant must be like a hundred years old!

My jade plants are ten years old and about that size, typxc. It's just a matter of getting the right amount of light and water. When they're happy they go berserk.

THIS HOME IS SO WELL DONE, DEVOID OF CLICHES, SIMULTANEOUSLY STIMULATING AND COMFORTABLE.

A great place, I love it, especially the bedroom. And I guess clutter, like beauty, must be in the eye of the beholder, because I didn't see any. (Guess I'd better not ever submit my home for a tour.) It's funny though: people speak of "clutter" as if it were a biblical plague. But I notice that any time a place has a lot of "stuff" it gets rave reviews.

Clutter? I see so many things here, but not "too" many. I love your home because I can feel your love of life. It's such a happy place. Perfect.

Your dishware collection is wonderful. very nicely displayed. I also love the dresser(pic#17).

Please don't stop collecting, you can't get enough of beautiful things :)

I love a well filled and oh so personal home! Lovely. And what a treat to see some handmade ceramics and glass...lovely choices.

I imagine there are (at least) 51 "capitol hill" named neighborhoods in the US (50 states + DC). Am I the only one who thinks every "capitol hill" is "theirs" and then dissapointed when it is not?

(from above)
Not saying I am dissappointed in this tour! I like the way your surround yourself with items you find appealing, and that you rotate your collections. nicely done.

I found the shower curtain on ebay I saw 3 pf them I brought one of them. Link Below

I love that kitchen table...I know you said your dad made it- did he use specific plans to build it? My parents have some railroad ties and this would be the perfect project!
