Design Quiz: Test Your Architecture IQ

I love these high/low type things too. But I call bull on the first one because of the lamp, which is 150x the cost of the rest of the ENTIRE ROOM. You could get everything else in the "high" room for about 4800$ -- much less of a huge difference from the "low" room.

@BruinToo: You read my mind. I stopped looking at these ages ago because almost everything was way on the side of very expensive. Decided to click through today and lo and behold -- another beautiful yet extremely pricey thing that I will never buy.

Er... "art" --> "artistic." :-)


Displaying Personal Photos:
Awesome or Awkward?

10/1/12 1:06 PM

Color me confused at the very question. There are no "public" spaces in a home. Homes are private, and mine is most definitely a personal reflection of myself and my family. And anyone invited in it is invited in to share my personal space, not hang out in a public venue. My house ain't Starbucks.

I can't imagine any way in which personal photos in someone's home would be considered bad form, creepy, uncomfortable, or sad. Sure, they may not be great art, or displayed artfully -- that could be true of anything -- but as long as they don't contain inappropriate subject matter, where's the debate here?

I'd rather see a post on how to take and display art family photos.

AT editors seem to love setting up straw men. Let's talk about the best way to mount toilet paper rolls next. :-)

Interesting photos, they make me want to return to Berlin after these many years and explore.

I'm afraid I'm not feeling those new Starck Organic faucets like you are though. Perhaps something is lost in the photo, but they look to me like someone lifting a leg to pee. And now that I've seen that, I can't seem to un-see it.

The only ones that don't either look like a mistake or like you just got interrupted in the midst of hanging a picture are numbers 6 and 9. And maybe 10... ish.

With the furniture and artwork you have, it would have to be spanish olive or dill pickle. Avoid the yellows, taupes, and harsh whites. If you want a more neutral white shade, I'd go with the softer tones of refined or ancient ivory.

I had the same question(s) as andy83 when I read that you'd bought six yurts over the years -- at a starting base price of $4,670. That's about $30,000 in yurts, presumably not including the skilled carpenter to build the base.

More details, please... How long can one use these for? and why such a plethora of yurts? :-)

I love that the post starts out with a persuasive argument for neutral and then, whammo! pink faucets!

BUMBO -- what a waste of money! That thing sucked up so much closet space and I used it maybe five times over the course of two children.

Underhand works best, while waterfall looks nicer.

And people who care so much about this that they fight over it need to adjust their priorities. :-)

I loved Ron's housetour so much I immediately recognized the picture of his living room all these many years later. It's still wowzas.

I wonder if he's changed things up since...?
