Anything with a Klimt painting on it must be banned, unless its painted by Klimt himself and hanging in a frame on the wall.

Will we ever get tired of things made out of discarded shipping material?
Hopefully, yes. The sooner, the better

I agree with this... I can understand why some people like upcycled pallets, and this example is well made but personally anything made out of those reminds me of my student years. Pallet made furniture goes along with the industrial spool table, the wine bottle candlestick with all the melted wax on it that everyone found awesome, shelves made of cinder blocks and planks, and plexiglass store display structures found in the trash...

Yikes !

excluding the computer...

-coffee machine & kettle (a gorgeous Michael Graves one, birthday present)
-the notebook next to the phone that has a space for the pen inside of it, and always a pen
-Danish water carafe, that's designed to hold classic duralex glasses.
-the trays, a plastic one purchased at a sale, and a mid-century one I repainted. I use them every day in lieu of a table set.
-the ugly cheap saucepan I bought in 1997 when I was a student and is still fine for use. I actually never really thought about it until now...I use it every day. Maybe I'll change it if I leave but it ans the old 1980 Visionware saucepan that was my mothers are enough for my cooking needs. I guess my utensils are ugly... I'll probably change them someday when I have a big beatiful pad..... *sigh*

I agree with design_love about the "1983" feel, especially in the living room (the chairs, the coffe table, the glossy black wall and Deco revival fireplace and what seem in the pictures as pastel/beige tones on the upholstry and rug). Strangely the feeling I have is that the rooms want to look glamourous but somehow don't really get there... The kitchen and bathroom are nice but have no particular originality, and the painted mural in the bedroom looks cheesy, sorry to say this. The ones in the kid's room are way more interesting.
That said I love the bedroom furniture (bed and what looks like a chest of drawers).

Love

PS : it took you exacly 50 minutes to change the shade? that must be some heck of a fixture ;-)

SCORE !

The ribbons actually freak me out... it looks like the chandeliers are standing on the table.
