Wow! This blog is a celebration of interior decoration! I've recently started my own blog...based around my resurrection and rescue of beautiful old pieces that will never be found in mainstream stores.

I absolutely LOVE your blog....the depth that is created through the different spaces you highlight evokes such interest! I love how these rooms invite you into a story through the layering of design elements.....

I always judge fabulous design by how much time I would want to spend in any given room...I could spend all day in any of these. Thanks for your inspiration!

Happy New Year..and cheers to great design.

P.S. to TTI, Gordon came over and we went over your favorites until our eyes were worn out. He said, Let's do this again, anytime you want." He did notice the TTI leaning towards the neutrals.

I was shopping with clients at AW Pottery when my phone rang. Landscape designer Sandra Jonas was reading your blog post & called to congratulate me. Felt like the Oscar's chose me.

Honored & happy you included me.

Even more, Vanishing Threshold is going into other lives. Thank you.

Thank you so much for including my blog and for announcing it earlier this month. As you know, you inspired me to start my blog and have given me such a rich education in design and architecture in a short period of time. I eagerly anticipate all of your posts and like others have mentioned, many of your posts should be included on the list. Inspired by you, I'm going to maintain a list in 2010 of my favorite posts too.

I love that you keep a list of favorite posts throughout the year -- it's something I wish I'd done this past year as I am often searching my favorite blogs for a particular post that really sang to me.

And of course, I am BEYOND flattered to be included in your list. Thank you so much and Happy New Year!

As I have told you many times, your blog is one of the most beautiful design blogs that I have visited. That is why I am so honored to have one of my posts on your list. I really can't thank you enough.
I'm not sure how you were able to narrow down your favorites. I finally gave up in June! Several of the posts on your list would have been on my list as well. I am looking forward to reading the other posts you selected that I missed during the year.
Happy New Year!
Looking forward to seeing you next week.

Thank you for such a fabulous round-up of favorites and the unexpected surprise of finding two posts from Live In Full Color included.

It is an honor to be mentioned and so nice to know that you found Julie's colorful posts inspiring.

Thanks so much for including my posts on Sally Steponkus and Elizabeth Hague in your top 10. The DC Designer series has been fun. I've had the chance to get to know Sally and she's the best! I haven't had a chance to meet Elizabeth but have met designer Linda Lewis of her team who is wonderful as well! Linda had my daughter and I over to lunch in her historic Richmond Victorian that she's renovating (Haven on Hanover) - beautiful.

Agree w/Willow Decor - as your posts will be sure to appear in top 10 lists too. Happy New Year! Michele
