If you're going to sew this at home, I suggest making the seat and back covers as loops--long rectangles, cut slightly small, sewn together on one end, and then stretched over the frame. I've seen ...

Well, aren't there a bunch of nasty little fussy pants on this site today! You all just HAD to share how annoyed you were that your precious time was taken up by this person's simple question. The ...

I could see how someone would say "cluttered"-- but tacky? because it's not a beige box? To each their own.

All of Jean Pierre Melville's films have a great "look"-- check out the nightclubs in particular. Also, Rene Clement's take on The Talented Mr. Ripley: Purple Noon, also starring the impossibly bea...

Very David Hicks! love it. I also love the idea of putting these focal walls behind the beds-- it adds interest and texture to the rooms, but it's less distracting (if you're easily distracted).

Once again, great job! esp. for showing how ingenuity and taste (the lighting, the paint, selective scrounging) trump a big budget.

Nice job! and beautiful, inspiring light. Sydney-- there is no bedroom. But yes, I would like to see where he sleeps.

Love it-- If it were mine, I'd probably paint the other walls one of these colors and retain the white for trim. What's wonderful is that it's well-executed and not a bit craftsy-waftsy.

Love it-- so individual and stylish! such a relief from the safe beige or white interiors (vaunted for being "uncluttered" but they just look unthoughtful to me). This is such a sophisticated New Y...

Lovely. Just lovely. Doesn't look at all like my house, but that's cool. I love how it's a "total" look-- not out of staginess, but out of a consistent vision. I love all the little touches.

"Eating on the floor is for dogs." !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would make a list of everything you DO in your apartment, and the areas that you use for them (or potentially could). Do you eat a formal dinner every night, or are you more likely to eat in fron...

Personally, if Ken Adams (designer of the classic Bond movies and Dr. Strangelove) could decorate my house, I'd be very happy.

Dr. No's lair (complete with stolen Goya!) Honey and Bond's rooms/cells in Dr. No's lair All the interiors in You Only Live Twice

I've always liked the "jewel-box" idea-- something that would be too too expensive on a large scale can be affordable (and beautiful) on the small. Go for the best!

What do people think clutter means? I think of clutter when I see random bits of crap, including trash, clothes on the floor, etc. I don't think books, postcards arranged neatly, etc. Yes, they hav...

Love this!

I love conversations pits! so sexy, so louche!

I believe those aren't termite tunnels. They may be from nailing leather into the lasts. When you make shoes, tacks and nails are used to hold the leather in place as the leather is stretched on dr...

Yes, but what are the financials on the building?
