Love at first pic! Neat/tidy, with flat color pop and big pieces of art. Perfect.

I have a kid and apart from the office & kid's room, our place looks this clean. It can be done!

Bravo for getting a piano in a small place.

Color scheme makes me feel weird. That's the best I could describe it.

Great work! Would love to see the loft/storage/sleep area.

faux, but I like it! I think it would look great to have an entire wall covered with reclaimed wood. great tip as well @ sam @ woodflooringtrends.com on finding wood to reclaim.

Unfortunately, this looks like 8 shipping containers stacked on top of each other. The idea is pretty cool, but the result usually ends up looking contrived and the cost not so affordable.

I'd like to see an example of a shipping container home that actually makes sense (i.e. form follows function). Maybe an affordable housing infill project where the containers are arranged in such a way as to afford privacy in a small footprint using cheaper materials. Or maybe a glorified shed that is more cost effective than the modern sheds you see available online. I remember seeing one example where shipping containers were used to fill in a narrow space between buildings. That made sense.

As it is, the interior space is pretty nice. Airy and loft/office building/modern like. The bedrooms a bit claustrophobic. The exterior not so attractive. I feel bad for the neighbors.

I love the combination of modern and warm. Love the light and the landscaping. I think lush landscaping makes this kind of house work.

Don't hate because they have money. As long as AT doesn't become Elle Decor or Architectural Digest, the occasional "I am the 1%" post is fine by me. It's good inspiration/idea generation for the rest of us.

Do. not. go overboard. Most of these guys clearly did. Maybe stack firewood in one column or row, not all 16? I will admit, I considered filling up my fireplace with wood, but [1] spiders and [2] it is totally non-functional. We already have enough spiders. Yikes.

don't do it. put a TV where you can actually watch it comfortably, at eye-ish level.

why did this trend ever happen? *scratching my head*

first impressions; expensive, bold, feminine. even though it is not my cup of tea, i love to see when people just go for it. you are happier with the outcome in the end.

aesthetic based on functional form. like post and beam architecture, the function is the form and it is beautifully simple or simply beautiful. there is an authenticity to it that i find very attractive. several styles fall into this mold; japanese modern, scandi/danish modern, mcm to name a few.

and yes, the warmness sets mcm apart from the cold and bold modern aesthetic.

rather than growing to like this style, i believe i have found the style i was always drawn too. i believe i will enjoy it even after it falls out of favor with hipsters.
