there's also this table which is surprisingly affordable! - but the space I need to move the table through is 42" wide, so I'd have to tilt it a bit which might be weird when I have a jigsaw puzzle on it! https://www.knoll.com/product/rockwell-unscripted-easy-table-42-round there's also a 40" square table for the same price. https://www.knoll.com/product/rockwell-unscripted-easy-table-40-40 I kind of prefer circular though since I have so many straight lines and 90 degree angles already.

I guess it isn’t for sale, but Thomas Jefferson’s other house ‘Poplar Forest’ needs to be in any discussion of octagonal houses.

I have a round dining table and I like it better than a rectangular for socializing and not bashing my sides on its corners. Have you thought about getting a foldable table so it’s easier to drag out whenever you want to use it? My dream folding table that I will probably never own is one of these vintage Castellis. uncloudy day fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Oct 24, 2020 |

Have you thought about getting a foldable table so it’s easier to drag out whenever you want to use it? My dream folding table that I will probably never own is one of these vintage Castellis. I prefer to have a regular table because I had an interior designer say it (plus the chairs) would help with the sparsity of the entry (sparsity because I don't own a lot of stuff, and that area doesn't get any natural light so there's not much reason to actively utilize it). Also I would like to use it partly for jigsaw puzzles which I do over multiple sessions, so folding it up when I "put it away" is not an option. I also realized that for some other activities square or rectangular is going to be necessary to have the space I need, so I think I'm leaning towards this one now. https://www.knoll.com/product/rockwell-unscripted-easy-table-40-40 this table is a bit smaller which is nice but too expensive https://www.knoll.com/product/stromborg-table-36-square I could also get that eames table in the 30x30 square size. actionjackson fucked around with this message at 05:03 on Oct 24, 2020 |

Oh right on, if it works for you then that matters the most. I like both of those but I lean toward the Rockwell over the Stromborg. The Rockwell looks more homey and as much as I like powder coated steel and splaying myself out on a marble surface on a hot summer day, the Stromborg leans too heavily toward office/institutional furniture for my tastes. My dining table is about 41 inches round which is a good size for my small ish open concept apartment. Size wise for puzzles I would go with the size that matches the largest puzzle you’d see yourself completing (plus a buffer around the edge for loose pieces), but not too big that it constricts the flow of your space or access to all four sides of the table.

Right, the other part is that I play scrabble tournaments and sometimes have someone over to play, so 36-40" square is pretty much the ideal space for that.

I have a couple of glass end tables, about 10 years old, and fingerprints are annoying. I like that guests don't have to use coasters though. I've yet to fall and die on one though  I've bumped into them a few times, but the glass is pretty thick.

Glass tables are tempered glass so if you do manage to smash it it won't break into razor shards, it will turn into tiny cubes of glass that at worst will cause a bunch of little nicks.

Man it just keeps going. "Oh it's a small flat with a massive bedroom. Wait no there's stairs down, ok I'll pick a direction, oh bootleg dvd printing room, packing room, library, random stairs up in a corner into a massive warehouse. Stairs back down, through keychains and halloween decorations, into another random dvd warehouse... Whoever did this tour was having a great time, but this may also be found footage and they never made it out of the maze. This was found years later on what was meant to be a copy of The Grinch.

I recently looked at a house, MCM from the 60s, that has wooden walls, but not like smooth shiny wood paneling, it's made of vertical planks and it's a little rough in texture. I had never seen walls like that before. It actually looks quite nice on its own, but the floors and ceilings are wood too and having the same color wood 360° and up and down is a little maddening. Can that kind of wooden wall be painted? Stained? Is it advisable? Any other good good ways to break up the monotony of color/texture a little?

If it's too much wood and one thing has to be not wood, you might consider painting the ceiling instead? If it's a dark room it will make it a ton brighter, and since nobody will touch it you don't have to worry about getting a non-fuzzy finish.

I'm pretty jealous, that's a really awesome style imo and I would leave it as is. I assume you mean something like this? I would change the floor instead. Or just have enough rugs to reduce the effect a bit. in this staged pic it looks like they have a stone or concrete floor actionjackson fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Oct 26, 2020 |

Yeah it's really nice it's just a lot of brown everywhere you look. Maybe you're right, some colorful rugs on the floor or a whitewashed ceiling could do a lot to break it up. Maybe hang up some large colorful tapestry / wall rug kinda things too?

Walls as a last resort. In my room I did a chair rail, and whitewashed the ceiling and below the chairrail. It was a nice effect.
