1024x768 posted:I'm looking for this kitchen table and bench to purchase: From a few pages back but I always see this type referred to as a 'farmhouse table' though that may be the least-specific name in the world, since any table can be a loving farmhouse table, provided it is located in a farmhouse. Ikea has a few varieties depending on your budget: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80290816/ https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00293772/ That particular piece in the photo looks like it was made out of dimensional lumber from a Lowes or something. OR if you have a sawmill (or hundreds of dollars in lumber) handy you could build the entire thing yourself out of solid white oak: https://www.mattcremona.com/woodworking-projects/white-oak-farmhouse-table-and-benches

Super interesting how different interior design preferences are between the US and UK/Eurrp. I feel like because US houses are so much bigger it works less well having minimalist / modernist design so people tend to go for a more rustic / old-fashioned look. I was planning on building a super modern house but have ended up leaving the UK, which also meant leaving behind crap UK construction standards, so feeling a bit less pressure. Also Swiss land is super expensive. But anyway here is some architect/houseporn that has some cool interior design stuff http://www.stromarchitects.com/ https://www.hydearchitects.com/ https://souparchitects.com/ Also I absolutely love this architect's buildings but it doesn't actually look possible to live in http://fransilvestrearquitectos.com/en/ https://www.instagram.com/fransilvestrearquitectos/

people here made fun of me for not liking house plants a while ago. i took a look on reddit and i remembered why some dude posted this:  Lets take a look at the comments   some other dude:  top comment:    Yeah just chuck a plant on the table that will make it a well designed and quality "Male Living Space" Then there's this dude   This is peak r/malelivingspace. They loving love it. The only thing it needs is a fake unused eames chair in a corner of a room as a $1200 space waster. This is why I hate plants. You just HAVE to have them. They are the one stop solution to all your design issues and needs. They are tacky and make you house look like a shopping center food court. Plants belong outside. Small pot plants for effect like a bonsai or a cactus can be good though underage at the vape shop fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Sep 5, 2018 |

It's redditors, everything is always going to be simplified into a checklist that must be followed religiously. That doesn't make plants bad. Don't get "mall plants" like pothos if that bugs you, but there are about a million other plants that don't have the same associations.

Lukewarm take time: Room #1 is fine. Room #2's owner needs to hang their drat artwork instead of leaving it on the floor. That room is dying for at least one pop of color, but it doesn't necessarily need to be plants. Room #3 is also fine, although I'm questioning the random hat hanging off-center above a window now that I look more closely.

You don't have to have plants if you don't like plants, but you do need to know how to make your place look like it's not a college student's bachelor pad. That's why the middle one looks so bleh. If you are getting plants, it's worth considering what looks nice and what you can reasonably care for. That's part of why succulents are/were so trendy - they look distinctive and they're easy for houseplant novices to take care of. But succulents aren't evil just because they got trendy.

PRADA SLUT posted:i don't think people are dropping 6k on an Eames as an accent piece because ~~mcm~~ The fake ones they actually buy are much cheaper. I know you have one and I'm not talking about yours, which is in the middle of your room. I'm talking about the ones that are in an awkward corner under a tv that you know barely get used just by looking at how its placed in the room. Similar to those show loungerooms the thread was discussing a few pages back, the people who were being discussed drop way more than 6k on those rooms. E: I don't hate mcm by the way I think its great. I hate the obsessiveness. I also don't hate designs on reddit for that other dude, my desk is the same ikea butcher block you see everywhere on there. underage at the vape shop fucked around with this message at 05:59 on Sep 5, 2018 |

I don't mind the plants because I lean towards a boho aesthetic, but I can also see why single dudes who have no confidence in their own taste would jump on plants for color instead of art or fabric. Reddit's plant love could be severely improved by applying a critical eye to what plants and where they go. That giant tree looks like it's taking it's babies to school with those little pots lined up next to it.  Here's another room with a bunch of plants, but they're different shapes and sizes and arranged for actual visual interest instead of just lining the window.

I actually see more of the fake Eames molded plastic chairs but they're at the point where they're not even labeling them as such anymore, they're selling as just a generic MCM chair. Most people don't even know they're copying a 70-year-old design, they just think it's some hipster waiting room chair you see all over the place. tbh the Eames stuff is nice but the Finn Juhl is better design. Anything Eames looks distinctly American, like the Frank Lloyd Wright of furniture.

You seriously think that is both functional and good looking? FWIW I agree with you. all those apartments are the equivalent of wearing a blue buttondown with dark khaki chinos and desert boots. They scream that the person who lives there is obsessed with having everything be "classic" and "tasteful" but has no ideas what those words mean other than "don't have any stuff other than the Correct 15 Pieces including 3 Art and 2 Plants". It's all going to look dated as hell in about...15 minutes and all those dudes are gonna have to start from scratch. Just kidding, everyone knows that apartment is just waiting empty for the Instagram Girlfriend to move into before she becomes his Pinterest Wife and he never has to think about interior decorating ever again.

I have a very, very strong suspicion that half the reason r/malelivingspaces (seriously wtf kind of name is that?) is so obsessed with plants is they think "plants prove you can keep something alive and  will be subliminally turned on!" or some similar nonsense.

If you can commit to a plant then you can commit to a women. Also maybe keep a baby alive? Honestly I think it's mostly just plants are an easy way to add color without having the scary part of actually picking one. Plants are just green, so your neutral box now has that desired pop of color without you having to risk displaying some personality through colorful art or textiles. Speaking of art, Prada you asked about where to buy some art a while back. Did you ever find anything?

Indoor plants suck, imo, I've never felt any attraction to the idea. I much prefer a garden full of greenery and woods nearby.
