I live in Detroit. I am sure there are miserable areas of the city, as we have a working class population, many of whom lost their jobs with the downturn of the market, more specifically the car industry. However, I happen to be proud of the city where I was born, raised, and educated. I do not consider my life, my surroundings, or my city miserable. What I do know is that many of the residents of Detroit's suburbs come to the city to enjoy its cultural centers, activities, and other such wonders...so it must not be as miserable as it is painted. Sure, we may have our financial woes, but I believe it is also a vibrant and culturally diverse city.

I find it much more miserable that anyone feels the need to compile such a list. Lists like this do not do anything to help America, those of us who live in these cities, and those of "us" who cannot afford to move outside of these cities. Many of these cities are diverse urban areas, where both the financially affulent and the poor live blocks away from one another. They are cities which boast larger minority populations, and tend to have more working class citizens. Much more than money (the cornerstone for lists like this) goes into dictating what makes a place miserable...

If the sellers were not made aware that this home was a FLW, what due diligence is it that they owed in the process? Everyone is not "familiar" with architectural design and being that it was sold by Wright's granddaughters, that should have been disclosed. This land and propery belongs to someone else now and to change the designation on it after that legal sale, seems very unfair.
I agree with preservation of landmarks, but I also believe in fairness...and this just does not seem to equate!

I think you would do great with a lighter green color...

Me personally, I would stay away from black, and maybe paint the lower cabinets an espresso color, on the bottom. On the top, I might leave the inside white and paint the border espresso.
The drawers under the stairs, I would paint the same color as the wall, to make them disappear. Great for storage, not so great for looks.

I know none of those are as colorful, but you might be able to take inspiration, find a square table and ottomans that you like that fit underneath, or make your own.

These are magnificent and beautiful.
Neither creepy nor contorted...as babies are so flexible it could be very well that once laid down, they "contorted" themselves into this position.
This is genius and it is such a wonderful gift to give to the parents of a newborn!
