Bureaucrats have taken over the UK.
If Brits wanted to disseminate pictures of their great men, they could make digital files downloadable. Then anybody could get the print they wanted...
elissa is totally right. Muntinless windows are are ugly. The window has to be divided; otherwise it becomes a void in the wall. (I'm talking here about classical, traditional windows.)
I also attended the event. Maxwell and Rachel were gracious hosts.
Although I'm not a big fan of shabby chic, I approve its retro quality.

Modern painting is nihilistic, and it has nothing to do with the history and the traditions that the White House represents.
With all the stuff he has to deal with, why does O stir up...
Arrogance is an occupational disease in the design professions. RP provides a good example: success has made him overly confident.

In the '40's and '50's books were often bound in buckram, which is a very pleasing, smooth material. Nicer than plain cloth. I wish publishers would go back to buckram.
I share mirandabee's point of view; but digital clocks are often very useful.
The uglieness of digital clocks is due to the horrible form of led numbers and their lack of kerning. The ...
Digital printing technology is the key to big prints. The problem is now one of mounting the print and of getting it through the doorway of your house.
Incidentally, the term "oversiz...
In addition to Dibond there's a material called Sintra that's used for mounting. These materials come in large sheets, so you can mount really big pictures. Masonite is also used for this.
I got the decade right, but I'd have supposed the date to be earlier, say 1950.
My parents had a lamp like the one in the picture; also, pre-columbian artifacts were big back then. (T...
You should put a nice decorative screen in the empty corner. Screens add a sense of mystery to space: they invite the viewer to imagine what might lurk behind them. They also block out unwanted clu...
I've never been there, and I probably never will be there. However, I protest against the clumsily drawn figures in the overhead spaces; they're weak. Not bad; weak.

Chairs have interesting personalities. This Cherner chair reminds me of a yoga devotee. It should come with a water bottle and a rolled up mat.
Washington, D.C. is the new home for the rich, important people. Hence, the "artists" go there. And the rest of us pay for it all.

Awesomely mindless.

How long before engineers do a synthetic version of this?

I proposed a similar but I think better idea some months ago. Here's a link to a Picasa album that has photos and details. Comments welcome.
