Dareon posted:Nothing epitomizes the live-edge aesthetic like a seat at your dining table having literally no surface area. also that's one thing I don't get about live-edge, since it's "natural" you get all sorts of weird angles, but doesn't that make it kind of awkward to eat at? you couldn't even slide things down the table because it might fall in the gap!

That is not how the Death card works  I clicked on one Danish Design link in this thread last week and youtube keeps serving me ads for it. Are people really paying three thousand bucks for a single chair? Five hundred is the upper limit I'd feel comfortable paying, and that better be the most comfortable chair I've ever sat in, with a design I love and sturdy enough to last decades.

Dareon posted:That is not how the Death card works Depends on the type of chair. For side chairs I agree. But a REALLY high quality armchair will be 2-3k easily. Obviously something that is well known will increase the price. Carl Hansen is a great example. Absolutely immaculate construction. I've chillaxed in this chair and it's great. https://www.dwr.com/living-lounge-chairs/ch71-lounge-chair/2516208.html?lang=en_US edit: even if you look at room and board, which doesn't have the famous name recognition but is known to be high quality, pretty much all the armchairs are well above 500. actionjackson fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Mar 8, 2021 |

And not just pass through bedrooms, but diagonally through one of them. Kitchens are always at the back of shotgun houses though for logical reasons - plumbing and whatnot, so there's real easy fix - front half has to be living and sleeping, back half is 'business'.

The Zillow search term of the day is "Rookwood"wikipedia posted:Rookwood Pottery is an American ceramics company that was founded in 1880 and closed in 1967, before being revived in 2004. It was initially located in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood in Cincinnati, Ohio, and has now returned there. In its heyday from about 1890 to the 1929 Crash, it was an important manufacturer, mostly of decorative American art pottery made in several fashionable styles and types of pieces. quote:In 1902, Rookwood began producing architectural pottery. Under the direction of William Watts Taylor, this division rapidly gained[ national and international acclaim.[11] Many flat pieces were used around fireplaces in homes in Cincinnati and surrounding areas, while custom installations found their places in grand homes, hotels, and public spaces. Original Rookwood-installed tiles can be viewed in Carew Tower, Union Terminal and Dixie Terminal in Cincinnati,[12] as well as the Rathskeller Room at the Seelbach Hilton in Louisville, Kentucky. In New York City, the Vanderbilt Hotel, Grand Central Station, Lord & Taylor, and several subway stops feature Rookwood tiles. "One of the most important Rookwood tile installations in the country"[13] is on display at the Carnegie West Branch of Cleveland Public Library and depicts Durham Cathedral in England. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1017-Russell-St-Covington-KY-41011/2080703438_zpid/   https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1914-Garden-Ln-Cincinnati-OH-45237/34231417_zpid/ "Rookwood era" fireplace, not sure if it's the real deal  https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/56-Arundel-St-APT-7-Saint-Paul-MN-55102/2028766_zpid/   https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/568-Howell-Ave-570-Cincinnati-OH-45220/2076266301_zpid/  https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/6135-Tremont-St-Dallas-TX-75214/26686031_zpid/ such a cute bungalow!   https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/418-Park-Ave-Franklin-OH-45005/35602914_zpid/ Cheap Victorian In a Dying Midwest Town  https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1564-Cherokee-Rd-Louisville-KY-40205/73456990_zpid/ "Enflourage" by Brinton B.

Built-in organ in a house, goddamn. Some friends are almost done remodeling an old church into a house, and they kept the organ intact and functional (along with saving all the gorgeous stained glass, original doors, all the cool poo poo from a 150-year old church) they're not dropping 1.4 mil on a literal half acre of finished interior space though, that's bonkers The Science Goy fucked around with this message at 05:47 on Mar 9, 2021 |

Just needed a place to vent about this. Building a house this spring, and I for sure wanted a smart thermostat. I was looking around and saw this... The Honeywell M5 smart thermostat prototype.   It's sleek, minimalist, clean, classic, and smart. I always loved the old Honeywell Rounds, and this was the perfect 21st century version of it. A few months later their round, smart thermostat hits store shelves...  It's sort of silly, but I'm legit disappointed they took a thing of beauty that looked timeless, and turned it into a bigger, uglier nest.

I ordered the leaf, managed to find it 20% off online with a local place - I had asked if I could bring it home to try it for an evening first when it showed up, but there was some logistics issue that came up, so in return they said that if it didn't work with my space, I could just bring it by and they would do a full refund. https://www.muuto.com/product/Leaf-Floor-Lamp--p2227/p2227/

falz posted:Ugh I wish I hadn't seen this prototype, I definitely want that. The original T-86 was called "The Round", which is what this abortion is going by. There were references to two models coming out, but it looks like they took the original "new" design, made it bigger and forgot about the classic design.  It's been over a year, so I'm guessing that the classic was "committee'd" to death by a bunch of boomers who are saying "millennials want it to look like their iphones. . . do that!" When in reality we want to do 90% of the work from our phone, and only interact with the physical unit when checking the temperature or doing a quick adjustment.
