Is that your ceiling? Neat. Is it really woven like that or is it some sort of faux finish?

Hehehe it's wallpaper that looks like woven bamboo. It has little ridges and looks good up close, too (the room is only 9x9ft.) Lil wrestling dudes is a good idea. peanut fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Aug 31, 2017 |

The coolest grandma EVER lives here    The photo albums     Look at these awesome built-ins    Somehow the Words On Walls are charming and not obnoxious here. That door leads to a private balcony.  The grandkids' bedrooms are in the upper level, and there is a SECRET CLUBHOUSE next to the closet!   Granny's got 12 acres with two barns, trails, a swimming creek, and this swing  I want that house badly, but only if it comes with all the decor and furniture.

That's an amazing house, but that blue line not lining up bothers me irrationally. To be honest it would probably look better without it.

The kitchen might be dated, but it is a great layout for such a small space. The dining/living room area ... that will be some work.

I'd keep the kitchen the way it is, maybe replace the appliances if they are in bad shape and put in a dishwasher and replace the ugly floor, but the cabinets look plenty modern. That countertop is hard wearing and easy to clean, no need to put in quartz or whatever.

Oh wow, I just noticed that the archway entrance to that kitchen seems to open on a level overlooking the living room. I want to put on an apron and stand in that archway arms folded watching what my children are up to from above.

They don't really match. because the thread title is interior design so presumably it's about looking for ways to make aesthetic improvements to things? I mean if your goal is to have a place that looks like a grandma house then you're golden but if your goal is to update things and make them look nice then it could use a lot of work and those appliances are kind of terrible. A new paint color would go along way in that room but it could also use new window treatments, a different light fixture, and possibly a different ceiling. Long term the counters and cabinetry are still really dated but the other things are low-hanging fruit comparatively.

I think a colored backsplash/walls to contrast with the white cabinets and floor would make big difference (matcha green or mustard yellow! with a chicken theme?!?!)

MMD3 posted:because the thread title is interior design so presumably it's about looking for ways to make aesthetic improvements to things? See I posted the house because I happen to like the "grandma" style (or Cottage/Farmhouse/whatever) particularly here when it's a great old house with nice antiques and some neat decor that gives it personality and warmth. I would replace the counters and appliances but I would definitely keep that shade of pink (that's my favorite thing about it tbh) and of course the hutches/chests and that neat old sink thing under the chalkboard. Other than that and pulling some of the carpets I wouldn't "remodel" this gem. On the other end of the spectrum, who wants to live in this 1959 Bauhaus beauty?     the only time carpeted stairs are acceptable    THIS BATHROOM

Is this the orgy room? That seems to be a bed that fold up into the wall, and to the right is another rectangle that looks like a second fold out double bed. Who needs two double beds and a giant sectional?

Yeah that's definitely a second bed. Maybe that was a thing in the 50s. (Perhaps it's for guest couples to sleep in separate beds)

I stared so hard at that loving toilet that it tool three times seeing the picture to notice that loving door over the tub. Where does that go?' There's some weird perspective going on. Is that a fireplace? The house is pretty amazing but the bathroom is  edit: the orgy room is

HardDiskD posted:I mean, this is pretty and all but I can't shake the feeling that I am in an upscale Brazilian public building, and that I need to get in a line somewhere. Yeah, some of the pictures in this thread have been great food for thought (like the house pages and pages ago with walls lined floor-to-ceiling with bookshelves), in that they look more like public spaces than homes. I think it's interesting to think about what specifically gives off this impression, and whether that's a look to avoid or not. One feature that passively contributes to the office vibe is a very high ceiling -- I'd be really interested in seeing pictures of houses with unusually high ceilings that have managed to look cozy and home-like. (Probably by avoiding the other common feature to these examples: the absolute adherence to a neutral color scheme throughout the house.)

The 6th picture shows the other side of the door, to the upstairs hallway. That great tall round fireplace tower has 3 different fireplace openings on the 3 levels of the house (3 bedrooms on upper level, living-dining-kitchen on 1st floor and orgy room + office in lower level) so looking at the upstairs fireplace opening. There are a bunch more photos in the Zillow link to get a sense of the space.

I think it's interesting to think about what specifically gives off this impression, and whether that's a look to avoid or not. One of these days I'm going to pen my thesis on how Mid-Century Modern architecture was a reaction/rebellion to the closed sexual mores of its time. The open floor plans, walls of windows, open kitchens (vs the closed kitchens which were used to hide domestic servants and/or wives) and the open bathrooms that a few houses I've posted ITT have were all sort of scandalous for their time. They let groups of people into houses, instead of clustering them into reception halls and parlors and the current McMansion "lawyer foyer". They indeed made the private public. Where we see small Victorian/Edwardian rooms and think "cozy" MCM architects saw closed-off chambers where only a few people could enter. While the old style of houses hid the bedrooms and bathroom upstairs, MCM houses either brough them down to ground level or, as in the case of the house above, had just a half-upper floor leaving a high ceiling with the bedrooms/bedroom hallway above exposed to the living area. And that little door directly to the bathtub which is definitely original to that house must have been shocking to the average 1959 taste. That said, there are definitely ways to cozy-up a high vaulted ceiling: A similar idea to the Bauhaus house, but more organic (and about a million dollars cheaper)   My dream house here
