So this floor is made from wine crates. And though I am no connoisseur of fine wines, or bad wines really, I think I love it. We could also make it out of apple or orange crates or something that actually has meaning to us.

My love for mismatching grows. I love the idea of having kitchen chairs which match in structure reupholstered in mismatching vintage fabrics in a color key.

Minus the pale tan of the walls, I love the colors in this room. Overall white, but each accent color is so bold and used so sparingly. The blues, reds, greens, and oranges are the same vividness and work so beautifully together.

How awesome are these little gondolas strung across the ceiling? My Swiss Miss heritage is gushing. Also, it's just plain cool.

All right Dave, is this too girly?

If I had found this headboard on the side of the road I would have been all dramatic and made gagging sounds, but refurbished and decorated in the after picture- I kind of love it. Maybe it's the dark gray paint (Honestly, I'm a little obsessed with the gray lately. I think I blame Washington. Zing!), but I want to climb in this bed and watch The Royal Tennenbaums or something.

Dave, what do you think of these chairs with the new kitchen table? Granted, they are Ikea, but they are very country-ish, but with a touch of modernity, too. Thoughts?

When we first moved into our Water St. apartment the previous (and horribly dirty) tenants had a low rack of lockers that they used for a coffee table/shelf. I thought it looked awesome.

Oh how I love these colors: the bright yellow, medium and light blue, with touches of orange... Though those Lucite Queen Anne chairs make me want to puke a bit.

Charcoal grey cabinets... (See, Dave, I'm not the only who likes them). And notice the apron sink with the metal front. Also cool: the butcher's block counter, the plank ceiling, and the tile floor (travertine?).
