I’m taking a trip to Ottawa, Ontario this coming Saturday with a friend to go to IKEA! It’s about an hour away from me but it’s the closest IKEA there is to my home! I wish there was one closer but I guess a boy will have to dream. I’m looking for a mirror and […]

By Adam in Inspiration & Ideas, Master Bedroomwhat to do, what to do…
By Adam in Inspiration & Ideas, Whole HouseHas it really been two months since I last posted? I’m very bad, but things have been a little crazy. After this week, I will finally have an extended period of free time. I’m trying to decide what I want to do for a summer project. Here are my options: – Re-do Thurston’s room upstairs, […]

Pulling things together…
By Anna at D16 in Anna Says..., Inspiration & Ideas, Master Bedroom(Click to see it bigger!) I guess this is where I’m supposed to step in and start talking about decor stuff, right?? Adam, I did a little mock-up of some things you can do to make this corner of your room feel more finished. 1. Blue would be a nice color for a brightly-colored throw. […]

upstairs hallway light
By Adam in Inspiration & Ideas, Upstairs HallwayI’m thinking of this light for the upstairs hallway. I need something big and bright because it is dark up there.

Jonathan Adler’s: My Prescription for […]
paint colors
By Anna at D16 in Anna Says..., Inspiration & Ideas, Master BedroomI figure paint colors deserve their own post at this point, right? I was thinking about floor paint, and I pulled out my BM paint chip stash and found the PERFECT color: Palladian Blue. It’s a pale blue-green with a bit of gray in it, and it’s totally gorgeous.
