I have one. I love it.

It's unobtrusive enough to play some quiet Django Reinhardt at an intimate picnic, but loud enough to put the Van Halen in "Van Halen Pool Party"

Nothing beats a Dieter Rams-designed Braun calculator. I bought mine on ebay and I LOVE using it. My wife thinks I'm crazy.

This is a few years old. Great idea and I love Dieter Rams, but call me when I can really buy something like this.

I'd love to actually. My office is styled after Dieter Rams. I've got the Vitsoe shelves, the vintage Braun calculator on the desk, and of course an Imac. Anyone have any Rams-ish wallpapers for me?

Yes, the rug is a Flokati rug. I just happened to get it on sale at World Market, but a lot of retailers have them. The dining chairs are Arne Jacobsen replicas.

We're happy to do a house tour in about a year or so. We know you AT readers have high expectations, and we won't let you down. The bar is set pretty high, but I know we and our fellow Washingtonians can rise to the challenge!

We're looking to do something similar. Where do you get banister/rails like this? Is it a DIY job or do you have to hire a specialist?

The one at the desk doesn't even have casters. Not everyone gets a 40% trade discount too...

Definitely needs some color and strategic lighting. It looks like unfinished drywall right now.

We just bought the chair...mainly because the similar ones from R&B and C&B don't have removable legs. VERY good value!

Thanks for the great suggestions so far everyone!

As for doors, I don't know where I'll get them from (frankly, I could use some advice there too). Definitely solid hardwood, probably painted white. I like panel doors, but don't know if they would look good with a modern handle, so I may just get a flat door.
