Interesting - ebay Germany also has "fernsehturm" in wood, cookie cutters, and as Christmas tree ornaments. Who knew?

Wow, I hate to be the sole dissenter, but dang, that is about the most hideously glaring example of "just because you can do it doesn't mean you should" I've ever seen.

The Nordmyra is surprisingly comfortable, too, even for a big guy like me.

waterlily,

That chair is a repainted Ikea Nordmyra, $40 in the US.

I painted the seat and back on my Nordmyra orange and left the legs natural. It looks fantastic.

mdorothy,

I'm with you - especially since the kitchens in the first two pictures don't even have vent fans over the stove. Everything would be covered in grease in no time!

Yech...and to think I'm bothered by the 1/2" space around the doors in the bathroom stalls at work.

Saval, I had the same problem with only the first six pictures appearing. There's some sort of a bug. Go to the "show thumbnails" view, click on the next pic in the series, and then you'll be okay from there.

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

sally305 and abc123,

I looked at the photos in the linked website, and all the window coverings appear to be real log slices. You have to open the window "hatches" into the "up" awning position to see out. There's little photo animation at the end that shows the owner opening all of them.

Very cool now, but I kinda get the heebie jeebies thinking about the thousands of spiders that will soon take up residence in all the nooks and crannies!

rosenatti,

It *is* an inn! I checked out the link above, http://www.theinnathudson.com , and most rooms are around $200 for the first night, and about $100 for additional nights.

Perfect timing!

I just bought a new electric guitar - one reviewer stated "if George Jetson played surf rock, this is the guitar he'd use" and I instantly fell in love. It's the Dead on '67 in butterscotch color: http://www.danelectro.com/guitars_main.html

But, where to put it?

Then I remembered the 3 X 4 foot antique maple-framed mirror I have that just doesn't work anywhere. Well, I'll take out the old mirror glass, cover the hardboard backing with some cool retro fabric, reattach the gorgeous aged maple frame, then bolt the whole thing to my wall with a guitar hanger I just bought.

Whenever I'm not playing my guitar, it will be framed art!

The home is in Canada, so after conversion to US Dollars it would only be $3,080,000 :-)

My gosh, Teresa and the apartment are both lovely.

I'm really saddened by all the snarky comments and design advice. Didn't anyone read the part about how she doesn't even live there anymore?

Is it so impossible to either compliment what you like or else just (I can't resist) keep calm and carry on?

Goodness.

Re: "...starts off as opaque ceramic and gradually turns translucent as it burns."

So you can't tell it's hot until it gets really, really hot? That doesn't sound safe.
