Of course, she had the expert help of the Domino staff.

and a HUUUUUUUGE budget. :)

love it. of, course high ceilings like long legs on a model make every thing look even better.

I love those first three pics! This may be a silly question, but does anyone recognize the sofa? Unless I missed it, it's not cited in the article.

Thanks!

I absolutely LOVE it . . . but I'm bitter about the Paul Smith rug in her son's room. That's the exact rug I've been drooling over for three years, but it's just so freaking expensive. To see it show up in a teenager's room wounds me. :-)

Gah! I just looked again, and it isn't even a teenager's room . .. it's a little boy's room.

Now I'm really bitter.

I loved that Paul Smith rug too. This rug from HomeDecorators.com provides something of a similar look for less, although I would be the first to say it is certainly not the same. . .

it's perfect!! i can't handle it (it's a lovely gray day, i'm going on a walk on quiet streets to get the same feeling as this place).

I'm also loving that sofa... Anyone able to identify it?

Wow, what an amazing home she has. Thanks for posting this, AT!

Maybe I've read too many shelter magazines, but these photos seem to be canned shelter magazine style. Is canned eclecticism an oxymoron?

In the main living area, the small white side table between the two chairs isn't close enough for someone sitting in either chair to comfortably rest a drink on it. I have a vague recollection of Jeffrey Bilhuber quoting Billy Baldwin on good design being a place one can sit and comfortably set down a drink. (okay, I've definitely read too many shelter magazines)

I guess lucite has really arrived if even people with ginormous apartments are using it. (Or am I totally out of it and lucite arrived years ago?)

I'm going a little blank on the exact quote, but Baldwin was talking about the ultimate in luxury not good design. Bilhuber's (or kristine's) slight misquote is a interesting insight.

I love the phrase canned eclecticism. My own feeling about the space is that it looks a bit too cool and calculated. For all I know it may be warm and inviting in reality.

JB--

It does not surprise me that you don't like it.

But thank god no crack about the glorious absence of zebra.

I think if the zebra rug jokes hadn't already been done to death, Wende's blog would have driven a much-deserved stake through them.

As for the space, the problem is I can't say I really dislike it either. Is "eh" an aesthetic category outside Canada?

And who, pray tell, has been doing them to death?

A very Belgian palete...

Any source for the sofa?

What a great space. I love that there are two distinct and separate sitting areas.
