I didn't notice the leather @Neryl Hollingsworth! It's a chair-table hybrid it seems. My friend took this at a gallery some where, and we've been trying to track the piece down ever since!

I found it here...but God knows how much it's worth... http://www.notey.com/@contemporist_unofficial/external/788254/volver-by-studio-14-for-terzani-raquo-contemporist.html

I like all the garden ideas ( it does look a bit sparse and 'rental property' look about it IMO ) , with a low fence along the front , a wooden screen a couple of metres in front of the door , etc , BUT when I looked at the very first photo -- the wider angle one -- the one thing you notice first is the yellow marker post on the left hand side of the driveway fence . So take that as a cue , and paint the garage door a bright colour to stand out -- primary or metallic or trendy , just one that you like , and personally I'd probably change the curtains ( or even dye them ) to the same colour as the garage door . Right now , everything is various derivatives of off-white and red brown earth brick -- needs a decent spot of colour to lift the houses look IMO . Another option would be 'natural' timber blinds , especially if you had them the same shade of stain as the screen and the front fence , but I'd still do the garage door ( and maybe the guttering ) your current favourite colour .

Beautiful work. Love the detail like the marble on the book shelves. I came across this in a search for how to put colour in a kitchen and this is a stunner. All the colours and textures are coordinated well - easy on the eye unlike some colourful kitchens. Love the wallpaper choice in laun and bathroom too. This kitchen seems to have come under fire for not being a cook's kitchen but it would work for me and I’ve been a pro cook in my life. That wide island is fabulous.
