Is that because the narrow backrest will allow you to move your arms back?

That doesn't seem surprising at all from a legit auction place if it's got some antique info/provenance

Unfortunately the other one was painted purple, which ruins almost all of the antiqui-ness. Refinishing would be a fun project, but probably not going to make money unless it turns out to be a significant piece in some way

It appears to be a rod or cable with the electrical cord spiraling around it.

What I think i actually want is very dark clean black hexagon look, but in vinyl sheet (because too cold without heated here if tile) and the patterns above are closest i can find. Anyone have another non-big name source of vinyl floor (sheet, not LVP) that may have something similar?

Immediately I'm struck with how much more these are built to a human scale, with rooms I understand the function of and can imagine living in. There's a lot of presumably expensive houses you post where that just doesn't click or parse for me, irrespective of the style of decoration, level of staging or hdr level of the photos.

Submitting for opinions please. We painted the kitchen last year (white, blue island) and sort of left this little desk area to worry about later. we assumed we were just painting it white, but now that it's primered we're having a crisis of indecision.

The kitchen and island, completed paint, with the desk photo left.



Which makes it seem like it wants to be white.



But from the other side it sort of stands out against the living room. My wife thinks it should be the same blue as the island, I still sort of think white, though the different countertop surface on the desk looks a little stark with white.

Opinions? Thank you!

I like the blue, but everywhere. It will make the wall next to it lean more buttery yellow and less dirty white. The rest of your place in the photos is pretty neutral so it isn’t like it’ll get overwhelming. Plus blue is soothing and maybe your wife just needs that after the 7th time the mitten bin has exploded this week alone.
