Goddamn I just got hit by a slug of nostalgia for old sci-fi / fantasy novel cover art. The topics are completely different but the style is so familiar, and those ones with the full-glass walls remind me a lot of old drawings of spaceships. Thanks for sharing!

Also note the sideboard in a decidedly older style, but it still works, this is a good picture. Got any more? The new hockey arena in Detroit has this, and I love it.

I interpreted that as clear like transparent, and was reminded of my frustration with my husband's black glass tv stand from the early 2000s that shows sooooo much dust. I'm going to replace it someday... maybe in 20 more years...

RoboRodent posted:Minimalism is literally either "I have no money to pay for more space and more toys" or it's bougie affectation. Which is fine. I mean, I'll accept bougie affectation over "this is my mansion with its three swimming pools of caviar" any day. But seriously, either you live like that because you have to, or because you want to, not because it's the morally correct way to live. not really, you just don't buy excess poo poo no matter where you're at. I lived in a 170 square foot place some years ago and worked it out. also, because you can fit only so much in there, it forces you to more carefully consider what you're buying instead of just buying boring garbage to fill empty space. you're buying into the idea companies sell you on in that 'minimalism' is this thing you need an expensive condo and special furniture to have, just like 'yoga' is this thing you need an expensive studio and special pants to do, which completely misses the idea behind it and I think I see the issue with this thread and the idea of 'minimalism'. see, for a lot of people it is a moral or philosophical idea and the result of that in the realm of interior decor is just 'don't have excess poo poo' throwing poo poo away or clearing your countertop doesn't 'make' you a minimalist any more than buying a statue of buddha makes you a buddhist, but throwing poo poo away and clearing your countertops is the result a philosophy of minimalism (among other things). it's like how some people are vegans as the result of a philosophy of nonviolence to animals (and also won't wear leather or the like, because it's broader than that), whereas for some people it's just some fashionable dietary thing at the moment. and goons here seem to assume that 'minimalism' is entirely the latter the problem is that all people see of 'minimalism' is like.. pictures of peoples dwellings, because that's the only thing you can photograph. just like pictures of veganism are just pictures of food, and inevitably, the only pictures that make the rounds are ones that ~look nice~, so naturally, everyone assumes that minimalists are a bunch of rich single instagram 20-somethings with decorative watermelons, while completely missing the reason behind it. I guess you can't really photograph 'happiness and serenity to reduced consumption and material excess'

there wolf posted:Prada literally calls people's lazy for not putting items away after they've already said they have no interest in doing that. This is the rear end you've decided to crawl up because, like with most fanatics, you think all we need is to here the gospel from you to really understand it this time. I suppose if your home philosophy is 'I don't give a poo poo if I leave everything out my house my rules', but I assume most people aren't adopting that as a deliberate decorative decision.

Your assumptions are whatever lets you condescend to people about having too much stuff. Utilitarianism is also an atheistic, and maybe when someone says that they hate staged rooms because they don't show function-first items like appliances and clothes hampers, you could take their word that they like having that stuff in easy reach instead of going off on how they totally could have a magazine-worthy home if they just cleaned more and stopped being so lazy. Edited for content. Some kind of industrial cocktail production kitchen?

It makes me feel better when things are out of sight and put away (including the multitude of kitchen appliances I own that are easily removed from their cupboards). I own a lot of poo poo which probably doesn't really qualify me as being a "minimalist", but I do a great job of finding storage for things and leaving the general clutter to an absolute minimum. The spaces I occupy myself tend to be very organized and clean, but still functional. I don't know why people hate your philosophy so much, perhaps the same reason people hate my bathroom designs so much. We are a very opinionated bunch, but I, for one, could live perfectly fine in a "staged" home.

I like how there is one ceiling fan and it's just in the hallway instead of a bedroom, sitting area, or anywhere else people will being hanging out for a while in need of cooling down.

That people won’t linger under it doesn’t bother me too much. If you use fans well you get better circulation through the whole house and not just where the fans are. You often see them put in stairwells for that reason, and of course there are “whole house” fans. That fan specifically might be a vestigial spinning turd, I dunno, but it’s not useless just because it’s not in a room.

A butcher block specifically has upright end-grain? Why? (And if it's not upright, is it just a "cutting board"?)

Easier on the knives and doesn’t show wear as much. Although the term has grown loose and often enough just refers to any surface made up of a bunch of small chunks of wood.
