I ran across this room the other day at [livejournal.com profile] desiretoinspire...I'm not sure why, but it's latched onto my brain...I'm obsessing about it, building a whole house around it. The clean lines and neutrals appeal to me, although that's contrary to what I actually have in my home. I love the hardwood floors, the little sitting area in the foreground, down a couple steps (and I *hate* steps!) with the little half-wall partition. I'm a bit underwhelmed by the tchotchkes, but that's easy enough to fix.

I'm convinced that there's a tidy little desk to the left of the camera and a pair of very full bookcases to the right. In my version, there's a TV opposite the bed instead of a mirror or artwork or whatever that is propped up against the wall. Bad feng shui, I know, but oh, how I want to snuggle under the poofy white comforter with a box of chocolates and the remote! (And perhaps venture into the giant walk-in closet to count my shoes during the commercials.)

It's so tidy and yet very cozy looking. I really like how they managed to pull of the balance of using those very clean colors without making it look cold.

I attribute that to the wood---I think wood makes everything warmer. I'm more of a fan of rusty and chocolate browns than taupe, but what they've done here works.

I'm also impressed by how they've turned a long narrow space into a positive---usually it winds up looking like a bowling alley.

I love the wood in our house, and the place stays so much cleaner than when we had carpet. I run a dustmop through the place every couple of days, and that's all it takes to keep it looking good.

I have terrazzo, which is perfect for my zero-effort lifestyle. It's off-white, speckled with blue-grey chips, so it doesn't show every little speck. (Tearing out the 60s gold wall-to-wall was one of the first things I did when I inherited the place.)
