apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Some parts are really beautiful and others are downright hideous. I can't decide on this one.

This entry started out with a bang and ended with a whimper.

Not sure about that last picture, but otherwise I loved this entry. To me, it was funky, fun, bright, and artistic. I only wish my house could express my personality this well. And I love the greens in particular.

I agree with the other posters about the photos. The first few pics were great, showing bold colors and fun vintage furniture and accessories. The last two pictures look odd and cluttered. But I still really like this entry. There is definitely a fun and funky vibe throughout this home.

So far, it's a sweep. My heart took a leap at the gorgeous exterior in the first pic, fluttered at the entry in pic 2, then rapidly slowed to a dull thump-thump-thump at the remaining pics.

Outstanding exterior; most of the rest: meh.

i would LOVE a warehouse loft.

ha! paige davidson, friend of one justin cox. i knew i recognized this somehow. not only do i like your place, but now that i know you're justin's friend, i'm hella voting for you.

This a fun, cute space, and I like just about everything, except for the rug in the 2nd picture. It doesn't fit somehow. But overall, you've mixed such wildly diverse objects so very well.

I really enjoyed this home...and its many colors. HOWEVER, i would reconsider the flooring..perhaps a different color. I just do NOT like it at all. Its too stark.

Its quit fun and has a good vibe. Thank you for not housing the home of cb2, west elm, ikea, pottery barn and all the usual suspects of accessories and art.

Oh god, how much do I love those chairs with the gold motifs. Orange pillows, turquoise walls--just great. And then they added all that crap. Oy. People, do not buy stuff just cause it's cheap. What is lacking is a sense of composition (um, not good for a painter), but this person does has an eye for objects and colors at times.

I really, really like this!! It's beautiful, but not in a traditional mass market stuff way. It's not like she raided west elm, which I appreciate way more.

The colors are yummy!

I'm loving that acid green on the walls...lovely.

Wowza, what a place! From the lanterns in the bedroom to the spicy floors and lust-inducing walls of artwork, this space is killer. It's original, creative, vibrant, and fabulous—with a cherry on top. My favorite, by far.

Thanks for all your comments! It's true that I have a hugely diverse mix of objects and furniture. I come from antique dealer grandparents and inherited their attraction to fantastic old pieces.

I apologize for the confusion and clutter in the last couple of pics. Those are of my painting studio within my house. The floor is splitleveled and the floors are 15 ft. Since the space is so tall, and divided, I wasn't able to get a good shot that clarifies the layout. I also wanted to show the space as I use it with those little details like the green pots of paintbrushes on my antique cabinet-turned-painters-palette and my Elaine Bradford log sculptures which I treasure. I always prefer to see pics of homes that are obviously lived in instead of those that look like model homes. I think art is one of the best ways to add punches of color to neutral walls...especially for the renters of the world who aren't allowed to paint their walls lime green and floors red. I appreciate your comments!

This place looks very comfy, the color choices and the art are super trick......truly HCAK style...
