The LA house has some areas that look a little...Prothean, but I really, really like this:

I don't think I can firmly articulate why, but I think it has to do with the room not trying to impose a mood on me (I don't like "cheerful," for example) but having enough stuff for the space that it doesn't feel like floating in the astral plane. Maybe I'm just a sucker for stools with poop holes.

Though it needs a big eye above the pyramid.


Anyone know what the Chinese (?) characters say? Is it just "live laugh love" in Chinese, some sort of cultural equivalent, random unintelligible bullshit, or--and this is the ideal--"stupid tourist"?

That's a shame. My father's an architect and I had never really heard of Stickley or Craftsman style until I went with him to the Stickley Museum a few years ago. It's a really nice place to check out the original stuff. If anyone's going by NJ and likes the style it's definitely worth a visit.
