Hey guys, great place!

Any chance you can tell us about the black framed painting on the top shelf of the bookshelf in the guest bedroom? It makes my heart go pitter patter.


Jason and Jon's Highly Personal Design Lab House Tour

Wow, I love this place! I did not expect to like it, and I almost didn't look at the full tour.

For those who suggest a warmer feel ... did you read the interview? The reason it feels stark and the furniture is not grouped is that he is going for a museum feel. That's kind of the whole point.

A unique space, for sure - he really does have a personal style.

From an old AT post . . . "Bedrooms make no sense. Don't put single beds in empty rooms called bedrooms, but instead put individual bed alcoves off rooms with other nonsleeping functions, so the bed itself becomes a tiny private haven."

I would create a bed alcove with the bed against the bedroom wall and surrounded by scrims or some sort of frosted material. Then you can have shelving around that. Your desk can go at the no-longer-bedroom window and have all that shelving behind it for office-y stuff. There is still a nice hall to the bathroom from the office or from the living space.

You should still get nice, natural light in the bed alcove if you like and your living space would be left spacious and free of work paraphernalia.

As for the tv wall conundrum, flat screens mounted on arms are the things design dreams are made of.
