apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Now I'm scared of color! It's coming to get me... waaaahhhh!!!!!

(Actually, these are fabulous mini-decorating inspiration...)

i liked the striped bench cushion.
the rest is so "posed for a picture"

i would bow down and worship absolutely ANYTHING that Mr. Oldham touches. he is fearless and fabulous and a design icon. i've adored him ever since his early days on MTV's House of Style with Todd Time.

Damn him and all of his Charlie Harper prints!


(I'm not bitter.... no)

I always appreciate what Mr. Oldham does with FLOR tiles to make them his own.

Does anyone know anything about the low shelving units in these photos? I'm guessing they were Todd-DIY projects, but I know these photos were published in a magazine a while back and am wondering if he spoke/wrote about how they were made. I particularly like the unit in the first photo, where some is closed storage, some is open. I have a stretch of about 20' where I could do something like this (and need the storage space).

I think IKEA has tried and failed miserably to mimic this feel. Makes me feel like a kid when I see so much balance drizzled with color.
