it makes me want to sip a martini. that's a compliment.

I like it. I assume the designer used what the owner already had so it really is a space for that individual. I prefer a few nice pieces rather than too much. Honestly, I find it more serene, if that is decorator show home. Fine. I wouldn't be able to relax in a space with much more going on.

Whether you like it or not, try and remember that very few clients allow architects or designers to fully implement their vision - the result is we usually have little idea how much is the professional opinion or the clients insistence.

Take what you can - and hope the client is happy with their space; after all, they live there.

Love the dining area--that bar cart is swank. Anyone know where are the red chairs are from?

I would be interested in a source for the chandelier shade, if it didn't come with the chandelier. I'm looking for a sheer fabric shade, but they're hard to find. I found instructions for making one, but the sewing was way above my skill level.

The light fixture is by Droog, the dining chairs are Grcic for Classicon

I love the chairs that look like plywood spiderwebs.

I like the wooden chairs, but I think the red chairs look uncomfortable and blocky, and they create too many angles. (In a small space, I think having chairs that show floor underneath helps lessen the feeling of confinement, unlike this choice.)

It's ok. I don't think I'd go for "jewel box".

It's nice - but plastic dining chairs (regardless of the designer name) and a plain silvered table base don't say "Jewel Box" to me.

I'd rather see more opulence: intricate details, precious materials and sparkle.
