Clopes's Profile

Hahahaha... I agree these are unrealistic but great to look at. Anyone I know with a home and kids and pets has their laundry room/mud room floors littered with sports equipment, winter coats, dog beds and toys... etc. etc... I guess they'd need another room to store all those things. My laundry room is the Chinese place around the block.

Hey Amanda, how are you finding life in Providence after NYC? The city has really cleaned itself up in the last dozen years and the local arts have definitely evolved and being close to some nice beaches in the summer is fun, but sometimes it can feel a little too local...

To all of you who say, ask McDonalds to change, you're crazy. They won't even make change for the parking meters on 1st Avenue.

Take him to one of those places with a huge brown club chair selection and let him know he can move on to new furnishings without breaking with the past. Other than that, throw it out when he's not looking and tell him it was stolen.

Does it come with instructions?

If I had the money, I'd live in an enormous compound on hundreds of private acres surrounded by giant stone walls so I see nothing wrong with this place.

Yikes, must be tough to drive under bridges in that thing... It's not all that easy on the eyes.

Yes, it's interesting to think of these interiors in context of their surroundings. In suburbia, I'd want something to break out of conformity, in the woods, I'd want a place that interacts with nature. A place with a view is often designed around the windows. In a wild city, you need escape and refuge.

This is a beautiful but difficult space. The long brick wall overwhelms it and the big bright windows on one end makes the other end very, very dark. It's not easy decorating a place like this.

Ah, Dy Kelly, I missed out on that new trend! Scary! I'd be afraid of people hitting their heads or leaning against artwork when it's so low... What was the old rule? All the tops should be 5 feet above the floor or they should all be on the same horizontal line? I forget. I like it high, especially when it's expensive.
