Brigs's Profile

I felt already puzzled when I read the comment by JUSTANOTHERCULTURALREF....
This is a design website, not a medical opinion survey. Then I felt even more puzzled when I read the comment right above mine: what book abuse? The arrangement of the books is so decorative and creative. I want to copy it along with all the other creative elements of this office space.

PS. What a pity to have to look at a big, grey, ugly box building. Is that Bauhaus? No matter, all the same boxy stuff.

This House Tour was fun, fun, fun! Thank you for inviting us.
Just when I started getting a little bored with looking at Apartment Therapy interiors, this contribution pulls me back into the folds of loyal viewership.

Those Miu Miu Sandals were worth buying.

Loved it the first time I saw it, and love it still.

Chris, I totally agree with the IKEA rule.

I love all the handcrafted towel holders and shelves, especially the sunglass holder.

Is the green chest re-painted or painted by the manufacturer?

Where are the television cords?

I've been waiting for this house tour since I saw the few pictures on house call. It is as good as I was hoping.

I believe that small, boxy spaces are much better off with a lot of interesting stuff to look at. The eye has a chance to wander and be stimulated, instead of feeling enclosed by blank walls.

I can imagine feeling embraced by this home's warmth and coziness, coming in from a cold, dark street in the middle of winter. But I wonder how it feels in the middle of a New York summer?

I read every comment, and so far, I like the suggestion of using an electric toothbrush the best. But it seems like a lot of work. My bathroom has no ventilation, so I try to minimize using chemicals on a regular basis.

Most of the above suggestion apply to white tiles with white grout. What about beige tiles, with beige grout?

I once cleaned a friends shower stall who had navy tile with navy grout. I had bought some kind of soap scum/mildew remover that I sprayed all over, and then realized with horror that the grout became mottled with white streaks all over.

I'm trying to figure out something nontoxic, easy, for regular clean-ups.

By the way, the sealant for the grout lasts only three months.

I like the transformation of the house, I like the colors or rather the lack of color, I like the style, I think it's a skillful renovation and yet.....

I think I agree with redsharkinterior that its a little too magazine perfect.

I really enjoyed this house tour. When I first glanced at the pictures, I felt the color of the kitchen cabinets were too light and fresh against the antique table with the tartan tablecloth. But then I realized that the white appliances would be even more visible with darker cabinets, so the grey is a good in between choice.

I don't understand the word vignette-ish and I don't understand the criticism that it looks staged. All interiors that look more stylish and creative than the mere inhabiting of a dwelling, exhibit artifice; all the more so if company is expected or a photo shoot planned.

The house and surroundings look like a place place where children grow up to have nice childhood memories.

I like the amber crystal chandelier, rectangular mirror and oversized shell in the living room. I remember seeing them in the Nieman Marcus/Horchow catalog.
