Like when you walk into Pottery Barn and stores like that. Anyone care to share pics of their nicely decorated homes?

I just got a Crate & Barrel and Pottery Barn catalogues, so I was curious.

We've put lots of time, attention to detail and funds into our home. After all, it's a place where you spend quite a bit of time in the evenings and on weekends.

My offering: My Home

Living room (pic is a bit dark)
Dining room (pic is a bit dark)
Staircase Moldings

We've been fortunate because my sister-in-law is a decorator. I'm the main source for the woodworking projects, painting and wallpapering. We've never paid anyone commercially to do any of the work within our home. :)

Enjoy!

Mrsskoorb is addicted to the million home decorating/makeover shows, so we have various inputs from them here and there. We are scantily furnished since it's a new home, but what furniture we do have we're buying nice stuff of. Our family/living troom is the first one we're doing and it's not too far from copmletion. No pics, but it has a large brown leather couch and a off-white plush cloth love seat. We have a nice dark brown coffee table with matching end table and sofa table, and the tv stand (until we get a bigger tv!) is also a dark wood. I personally abhor uncomfortable furniture and that is why most of our stuff - actually both of them - is overstuffed. Soemthing you can curl up in. We still have a single large chair to buy, which will match the love seat, and a couple of pictures here and there too.

Also we bought a $10-20 big tall silver light and she bought a $10 kit from home depot that changes something into a metallic copper look and it turned out pretty well - looks like a nice rustic copper light that cost money :)

Your family room rocks, man. I'd just be afraid to live there.

My apartment is "lived in". :D

Most of my fiance's apartment is very nice... of course both her and her roommate graduated with Interior Design degrees 2 years ago. Not completed (to her satisfaction) yet... so no pics.
