Kestrel H.'s Profile

As the owner of 37 sets of shutters in a Victorian (previous owner owned a window treatment store!!) I understand the tedious painting, dusting process.
But it's worth it.
The after looks all Ikea to me. Or maybe like an X-ray light box. And what's up with the rear-view mirror hangy-thingies?
I'd have gone with a leaded glass or even a -gulp- glass block before I cut the whole light source out.
But, essentially, what's wrong with someone watching you wash the darn dishes? How about saying "hello!" and not being so cloistered?

As a woman, entering the front "door" would scare the hell out of me. That long corridor at night? {shiver}
So, he has quite a chunk of change to spend on his first apartment. I believe I had an "Early American Poverty" theme but, then again, I was 18 and not a late-leaver like so many today!
I just....don't like it. It seem to have odd stuff just for the sake of being odd. Where are those long-term investment pieces? And please don't say slipper chairs! I DESPISE chairs without arms - soooo not comfy.
He is a young Texan, moving to the Big City, living in a penthouse. The end result doesn't reflect any of that. It looks like he gave the ID a go-ahead and let the professional chips fall where they may.
