things we NEED to know:
budget size of the room purpose(s) of the room (if you want to listen to music in there you might have to consider acoustic "issues" too when placing stuff). That said, I'll probably be quite useless as a counselour, since due to budget restrinctions my store of choice has to be Ikea.

Ergonomic chairs are very comfortable.
Someone should make a 3d impression of Fallingwater with a CAD program. Would be great to walk through it with a mouse. |

ha ha ha orry to hear. my parents had conventional furniture while i was growing up. so and i love orange! i used to have a huge orange wall in my dc apartment a couple of years ago. the rustic look i like for the countryside and actually we have a little hovel in the mountains where we lived for a while... i wouldn't mind putting furniture made of logs in that one (it gets filthy easily anyway, ha). but for the city i need bright colors i guess. oh i hate pastels. i hate pastels to death. and earth tones, while pleasant in general, leave me cold. Quote:
ha ha i didn't wanna point out the discrepancy between your photos & your dream homes. that explains the divorce. congratulations. but anyway, still, life has a lot more junk than magazine photos. my point is design has to be realistic not "ideal". it's like... making a shirt with no arm holes. not sure i'm clear. i'm hungry and i just woke up. Quote:
i guess! Quote:
yeah ive considered ikea and in fact own some of their stuff but over the years i've tired of it-- while their most expensive stuff looks pretty well built for the money, their lower cost items are flimsy and degrade fast. anyway that red one on the top i like in pictures, but i know the legs are going to be this light wood etc. i know. i have an ikea leather couch that, while i like, i'm tired of it, it has a fallen "leg" from a couple of moves, i don't know. OH AND i really don't want leather this time because (this is funny) i have some vegetarian friends and will likely have new ones and i've notice they cringe a little when they have to sit on the leather couch-- since the l.r. is the "social " room i want everybody to be comfortable. ha ha ha it is true. |

great post nefeli, thanks so much-- that's the kind of response i was hoping to get. you got me thinking. and thanks for those crazy blog links as well! Quote:
ha ha ha... thanks man but no, i dont need direct "advice" as "you should do this"--- well actually i kinda got into that didn't i? but that wasn't the intention... in any cae, the budget is $0 (ha), the size im not sure, the pictures i'll have when my friend who took the pictures emails them back to me (long story, we didnt actually "see" the house at first). good thinking on the acoustic aspect of it though. music will *definitely* be a big focus of that space. playing records and... who knows? maybe i'll buy a bass or a drumset at some point. yeah hm i wouldn't mind having people over to play.... the fun... i'm gonna research acoustic materials etc. |

There are two details in that picture that make me think you're wonderful - first, you wrote 'telly' rather than TV (which strikes me as a British thing, possibly). Second, in spite of not paying the greatest amount of attention to proportions, scales, and straight lines, you've gone to the trouble of accurately drawing two octaves on the piano. There's an obvious psychological point about that, but there's no point saying it.

yeah i do but nefeli's post got me thinking. the thing is men tend to love the simple/industrial look of bauhaus (i do). women tend to find it boring/sterile/dull after a while. being the married sort, i am forced to share my quarters with a specimen of the female gender. i'd live in a factory-library for fucks sakes. but i like the company.

^^ see that's what i'm talking about. funky. women seem to love funky. eclecticism will win at the end of the day, i know, in spite of my demands for spartan environs and a functional space. i draw this diagram. i should photograph & share. but i'm more into the inspiration seeking than instructions, so i don't know. ------- ANYWAY YOU ALL RULE.

It is fascinating, that process - like the cushions argument. I don't know if everyone who's lived with a partner/ person of the opposite sex has had this, but I have. Cushions. There's no fucking point. They're annoying, unless you're at the age where you're beset by back problems. No-one uses a cushion. Most chaps wouldn't have them; most women have them and don't use them. The Bauhaus appeals to chaps because there's no faff (flack, flotsam etc); women like the faff. Perhaps men see spaces as functional entities, or rather, express themselves in their territory by means of how 'organised' they are (hence no faff); women see them as a space for personal identity, a canvas for the self. Or am I being borderline misogynist?

funny thing, i use cushions. i don't like sitting upright. i 'm a lazy bastard and i need something like a pillow. so i stuff them on the corner of the couch, i put my head on them, then i put my feel up on the other end of the couch. of course i have never personally bought a cushion. they all came with the women. but yes, cushions do have a function for me. otherwise, ha ha, faff. i could do without cushions if i had one of these: ![]() |

'Interrobang' will never catch on as a punctuation mark and we all know it.
My living room has a lot of weird crap on the shelves that coordinates with the cushions. Looks nice, but not sure what any of it is for...
