luxury handset posted:found some good stuff with the serch term "innovative" Would, would, would NOT, would. To contribute some content I ended up breaking down for want of normal furniture in my new place and just ordering everything at once from the internet. I'll post pictures for space inspiration when it shows up on Friday.

Why are there never shades on the windows at these places? Do people actually like never having privacy/always having glare on everything?

How many loving chairs do you need? Also social distancing office is a great spot for a pool table window house - is the floor... brick???

If you don't gently caress with the shades up and the lights on, do you even really gently caress?

I know the more expensive the houses in my area, the bigger the windows and fewer shades/curtains. More often than not, there's a formally-decorated sitting room with mood lighting easily seen from the street, that obviously nobody uses. It's just another layer of exterior showing-off, a window display, a diorama of conspicuous consumption. I ought to keep bricks in my car

luxury handset posted:found some good stuff with the serch term "innovative" I appreciate that the sunlights on the roof are arranged in a pleasant diagonal manner instead of sporadically sprouting like roof warts. It's consistent with the other arrangement of windows [see below pic]. The garden / backyard is nice but could use a lot of polish. Definitely bring in more native plants, otherwise you just have climbing ivy and dead leaves from the trees.  God you could fit so many cats into those cubby holes.

It really is like an art museum--this is the Des Moines Art Center (specifically, one of my least favorite staircases in the world) and it has the same railing.

Anyone who's been a little confused about the difference between a mansion and a mcmansion might want to click through on this one. A lot of the 90's beighous had Spanish revival elements, so it kind of gives an easy point of comparison. It's got a lawyer foyer, and a kitchen island you can gently caress on, and double sinks in the master bath, and a home movie theater. But the quality of the workmanship just shines, even in the places where it's clearly been updated.

The Zillow search term of the day is "trunk room". I thought that's just what you call the little extra upstairs room in Victorian rowhomes where they stored their stuff but apparently it's only a thing in a few parts of the south? What do you northerners call that? Nowadays it's usually repurposed as an office/nursery or turned into a master closet/master bath.   yeah I got nothin' https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/19-Portland-Pl-Saint-Louis-MO-63108/2989460_zpid/ This listing doesn't show photos of the trunk room itself but it is a pretty interesting Châteauesque mansion. Châteauesque kind of resembled a proto-McMansion (minus the giant car hole, obviously) but it wasn't common in residential architecture because people didn't usually build single-family homes that big. Châteauesque wikipedia page posted:The style frequently features buildings incongruously ornamented by the elaborate towers, spires, and steeply-pitched roofs of sixteenth century châteaux, themselves influenced by late Gothic and Italian Renaissance architecture. Despite their French ornamentation, as a revival style, buildings in the châteauesque style do not attempt to completely emulate a French château. Châteauesque buildings are typically built on an asymmetrical plan, with a roof-line broken in several places and a facade composed of advancing and receding planes.  this looks...familiar  no lawyer foyer but we do have table with thing(tm)  inside is nice and typically Victorian but the "incongruously ornamented" theme definitely continues  why yes there is a space for the piano  this one of many overwhelmingly large bedrooms is reserved for a throuple  the giant void of bonus space is on the 3rd floor rather than the basement

If they spent real money on it it's a heat pump too which will run until the temp drops below it's efficiency band and then the oil or whatever runs those radiators will kick on.

This is technically a really nice job on refinishing some old floors: https://imgur.com/gallery/JKe6sFM But uggghhhhhh at the pissbag owner's decision to go with dark stain on those gorgeous reg oak floors. You can barely see the inlay. I get it, everyone has different tastes, it's their floor, and I think darker floors are in now, but I personally almost always prefer a wood floor to be closer to it's natural color.

there wolf posted:I mean your entire house is various shades of grey and beige... you mean the paint? that's not totally true, but mostly. the bathroom is now this https://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/paint-colors-by-family/SW6242-bracing-blue But the whole point of that is to make things that I have with color stand out (mainly plants). But I guess I'm not really talking about the wall colors, I'm just talking about 1) the incredible amount of poo poo the homeowners have, and all the clutter it creates 2) the very un-modern styles 3) a lot of the hideous patterns, especially in the furniture and wallpaper!
