Oh, if only I had some way of getting from Nebraska to California for the weekend for the La Miniatura tour.
I built a 1/8" scale basswood model of that house for 2nd year architecture...
Glad to finally know the origins of that particular sofa. I've been wanting to know for years. I thought maybe Poul Kjaerholm, but could never track it down.
bloo's got the right idea. The metal of the nails or screws that fasten your drywall to the studs is getting cold enough to attract condensation (just like moisture condenses on a glass of ice wat...
I'd also replace that existing (painted?) mantel shelf with a really gorgeous slab of natural wood. Perhaps a long, thick slab of teak or cypress, hand waxed. Maybe even with the front edge left ...
Keep the stone! If you don't appreciate it, will yourself to do so. It looks to be lovely and has tremendous potential.
I would like to see that mantel shelf dropped down to the top ...
Please don't paint it. It would just be too good with the wood refinished.
This has great possibilities. It's really a beautiful piece of midcentury design. Very George Nelson.
If you put something too solid in front of it that significantly restricts air flow, you're just going to screw up the efficiency of that unit and the comfort it provides.

I just use a creaky old solid-oak swivel chair, which is actually far more comfortable than one would assume.
The problem with office chairs is that they look like "office chairs." I ...
Assuming the opening into the bathroom is a standard size, just go to Home Depot and get a door. Or nag your landlord to do it. An acceptable door and hardware should be well under $100.
Dammit. The odds are against me of ever stumbling on anything like vintage Herman Miller out by the trash here in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Oh, wait. There was that solid brass Paavo Tynell...
The quality of the photography/printing has a very late 60's/early 70's feel to it. It looks like a photo ripped right out of one of my mom's old Better Homes and Gardens decorating books.
Beautiful. And I love OSKA's work. But how the hell do you level it? Do they meticulously ensure that the ground is perfectly flat and firm before they roll it out?
Good idea!
Who cares about licking the damned bowl? This would be perfect for something like cheesecake, where you have to stop and scrape down the bowl numerous times to prevent lump...

Forget the service. I just want a reasonably-priced source for the sort of storage boxes and magazine files in the picture above.
Not to mention the pendant light by Achille Castiglioni overhead.

Yep. Case Study bed will never, ever go out of style, and will always be more stylistically versatile. It's more of a true investment piece.
