One of the reasons I overlap the detail shots (which someone complained about) is so people CAN understand the space. One giant wide angle shot is not the only way to do it. I'm also REALLY methodical about the order of the images, so the pictures unfold the way you might physically experience the space.

Also, I'm not sure I agree that because "this used to be a home design site" detail shots need to be in the minority. Sometimes an interior story IS about the selection of items, and the relationships between them. As I said before, THIS interior, to me, is exactly one of those stories. And it's still TOTALLY about "home design." "Home design" is not solely about floorplans.

But noted: more "full room" shots.

And on that tour, people will complain about not enough details. :P

I'm sorry, but there ARE establishing shots here. They're worked in, but they're there. In two simple rectangular rooms, there's not that much to "establish," photographically. And this tour, to me, was about decor... about what was brought in or added on. And I did my best to tell that story, photographically.

Vix Vax... much appreciated. And I liked that line a lot, too.

I just don't love when a lovely tour, and the generous designer and resident get lost in the shuffle of people complaining about the photos... just click faster, people!! :)

I think, Vix Vax, they were talking about the number of photos of "stuff." But yeah, I feel ya.

I guess we define "big picture shots" differently, but anywho...

And there was info about the hair, Jane Jones. I would have included it, but that would have made the piece even longer. :)

Some interiors are about relationships. I like to explore those relationships in the photos. Sometimes that means the relationship is explored from more than one angle. Sorry to make you motion sick.

Which dozen are superfluous? Enlighten me, so I don't waste my time next tour, shooting and editing a tour for three days. Sometimes the story IS about the vignettes.

You could kinda see how "he's the loquacious/verbose one" MIGHT be interpreted as criticism, though, right?

And it's okay to leave the comments that say the write-up is "verbose." I'm a big boy... I can take it!

How is a barber chair, when one is a stylist, "too much information"? It's not like it's STIRRUPS, Jesus.

The kitchen is indeed shown. It just doesn't look like a kitchen. The front room is one big box, and all corners are shown. The bedroom is a rectangle, and all sides are shown. It's not a complicated design or layout. And she has cool stuff.

But, Secretagentgirl, I DO think that you can call someone out for being just plain nasty... and you still can keep the moral high ground as you do so.

That said, NO ONE shares stuff here (except for the "Help me with this _______" posts, seeking critique) out of anything OTHER than pride... And there is a difference on posting, "Won't this fall apart in a year?" and "This is going to look like shit in a year."

I'm still here! And I'll take "loquacious/verbose" as a compliment. :)

Sorry you think this is too much about "stuff." But seems you found some "stuff" that you liked. Isn't that part of the point?

Any you love. But figure out what vibe you want from the room first... calm? funky? collected? quiet?

But if you want to keep things neutral, you need a rug with some serious texture.

And to build on Blandwagon's idea, you can cut up a KKK poster and spell the word Kitten.

Yeah, I still don't get it.

Would you consider women exploitation imagery of similar "irony"? Hate group imagery is not art, not ironic any more than a burning cross on your lawn is "landscaping."
