Like the tile floor that is actually brick, or the elvis inspired dual-TV nook, or the ladder to the carpeted attic Yeah that's my take too. I really really like the exterior and the structural design but they made some choices on the interior furnishings

Looks more like they removed the actual kitchen surface, and that’s just the random marks left in the thunder used underneath..? Nothing some renovation wouldn’t fix - I’d love to live there. Not really compatible with my job though.

Clearly though all these mid century modern architects were designing with a temperate northern Californian climate in mind though. Single pane windows, little if any other insulation.

I went over to a guy's house last night, he'd done his whole place in mid-century modern. Klipsch speakers and Atomic Starburst china pattern It worked surprisingly well even if it was a bit jetsons-meets-space-age-bachelor-pad-music

I want to a) know how this is done and b) then do it myself. The covers are Finnish editions of Donald Duck magazine from the 1960s.

Though there seem to be a bunch of companies these days doing that sort of custom work on the regular, I see a lot of them espousing the wonder of glass backsplashes.

I would wonder if it were perhaps encased in poured resin or something, like a bar top. Build a board that way then stick it up. Or even just plaster the, uhh, documents, up on the wall, and then paint over them a few times with a resin clear coat.

Their specific gimmick is filling the wall as much as you would with tile. But yeah, I'd assume poly. Though plenty of custom glass goes into shower stalls with cutouts for handles and hinges.

Facebook Aunt posted:How should we stage this place to really show it off? Just a kitchen table and 4 chairs, right? The vibe is ok, but they really should have included a scoliotic figure in a 1920's halloween mask partially hidden behind the outdoor sculpture to seal the deal. If I'm to eventually fling myself off the tower and run nude into the dark woods I want to at least get a sense of the hallucination that precedes the breakdown.

barbecue at the folks posted:I want to a) know how this is done and b) then do it myself. Some of those are definitely 1980s (you can tell by the "signature", and also I remember them). Also it's done like this: 1) build bathroom 2) waterproof 3) glue covers to wall 4) lacquer five times 5) install 100-kg glass with cut-outs for plumbing 6) seal e: Personally I would leave out the glass as it serves no purpose except long-time protection (which isn't necessary because no-one'll want to look at that for several decades) but your tits have to be real sharp to scratch the shower wall. ee: That "Christmas Parade" in the lower left corner from 1983 was dope poo poo: all Barks. 3D Megadoodoo fucked around with this message at 07:50 on Aug 27, 2019 |

The dumbest thing about that wall is that it's all covers. He could have used a single issue and put up the interior pages in order so that you could read the comic on the shower wall. Well, until you turn on the shower, but the cover version has the same problem.

Also they didnt glue the covers to the wall and they definitely didnt lacquer it in place. Generally people use polyurethane, like boat tables. Also where is this odd fear of glass in the shower coming from?? Yall dont have glass shower doors where you're from?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBq89b9ZRQw I follow Never Too Small, but I don't usually agree with a lot of the design decisions or aesthetics they go for. Today they posted a video of an apartment I one million percent love and could see myself living in. It has amazing things like a guest bedroom, art studio, a functional kitchen, lots of storage, MANY PLANTS, and a color palette that reminds me of every episode of Columbo. Now you can be your cool retired bachelor art teacher! I also cant watch too much Never Too Small without feeling bad about the giant waste of space that is my own apartment. It's fairly big, but a bit weird. We're only here for another year. If we were gonna stick around, I'd be doing so much funky stuff to this place.
