Just thinking about someone going through with these made me so loving angry, literally shaking rn I've been looking at some houses nearby and almost all of the prospective candidates which originally had fun 1950s decor and details have been given the greige treatment by the PO to "increase the resale value", it's just so... sad

I'm gonna eventually post some pictures of my tiny beige box and ask for some interior design advice because currently my only conscious design choices have been a painting of a cat and a modern repro of an Edison Electric Light sign (Posted directly underneath a 12v LED lamp). But before that, I'd like some input on terminology. I happen to really like mid-century modern furniture, although what I like is actually the really weird stuff that looks like it rolled off the set of the Jetsons, with the thin columns and semi-organic shapes and disc-shaped accents. Is there a specific term for that style? And does anyone still make it?

...I could afford the $175 magazine holder!  Probably should have expected that actual artistic furniture would have an actual artistic price tag attached.

Bloody posted:I am looking for book recommendations. I don't know the language of design, nor enough of the history of the various movements, and I would like to learn. I have a vague idea of some of the things that define craftsman or mcm or what have you, but I feel like I don't know enough of anything to put words to what I like in a house or room or piece of furniture. This is probably too stupid and vague to reply to but idk I wanna read some books and learn some stuff For USA home design (not quite interior design, but significant overlap) check out: "American Vernacular Buildings and Interiors 1870-1960" by Herbert Gottfried and Jan Jennings "A Field Guide to American Houses" by Virginia Savage McAlester Both cover a lot of ground and will give you a good starting place for more in-depth study.

Unfortunately, it's a tumblr so they're not really organized very well.

The furniture is atomic or Populuxe if you're fancy, the architecture is sometimes called "Googie" which is the best name of any architectural style ever imo Retro Renovation is the catch-all website for anything related to this style - they've found sources for every bit of furniture and decor you could imagine, including a lot that is still made to today. Local antique shops can have better deals than the larger websites. Here's a super rad  grill for sale right now in my city for example https://epochfurnishings.com/product/vintage-60s-atomic-spherical-clamshell-grill/

I assume whoever restores the place (there's peeling paint, floors need refinished, etc) will pick appropriate Eastlake-style switchplate covers to match the rest of the hardware.

Like others said this is best represented by Populuxe and Googie style. There are some small boutique makers of replicas or new pieces out west or in California [edit: a word of caution, replica makers like this are basically the PT cruisers of the design world]. There don’t seem to be as many companies making repros as I remember but it’s somewhat possible cherrypick pieces elsewhere. Like I think think the eames “hang it all” coat rack is baller and fits in seamlessly and those are readily available on design within reach. It also has a lot of crossover with the label “space age” too. For whatever reason that leans more toward expensive designer pieces without decorations like those disc shaped accents or whatnot. Think 2001 A Space Odyssey vs The Jetsons. Some of it is still in production. You can still get an authentic or knockoff Knoll saarinen table with some tulip chairs. If you wanna buy used, depending on your location you can find entire vintage shops or showrooms that specialize in any one of the above styles. uncloudy day fucked around with this message at 19:46 on Dec 13, 2020 |

I know way back in the way back, this thread used have a title with some variation of "Live, Laugh, Love" in it. When my wife's new graphics designer made her these throw pillows, this is the thread I thought of instantly. They also made completely awesome blankets. She's been having a rough year, so her holiday designs were especially snarky, and my wife just went with it.

The Zillow search term of the day is "conch". "Conch houses" are a vernacular style of architecture in Key West, Florida.quote:The conch house, like other Florida vernacular architecture styles, is built of wood, and set on posts or piers, which allows air to circulate under the floor. Conch houses are rectangular, of one or two floors, and usually have a porch across the full width of the front of the house (both floors if the house has two floors). Other characteristics are horizontal weatherboarding or clapboarding, low gabled or hip roofs, and double-hung sash windows. Roofs may be metal or shingled. Conch house designs were often influenced by Classical Revival or Neoclassical architecture. Other than carved brackets and/or rafter ends on porches, conch houses generally lack ornamentation. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1430-Thompson-St-Key-West-FL-33040/306090295_zpid/  https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1402-Johnson-St-Key-West-FL-33040/45801421_zpid/   https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/910-United-St-Key-West-FL-33040/306090263_zpid/  https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1408-Petronia-St-Key-West-FL-33040/45798839_zpid/  Ok I can understand the full-opening walls in California but in Florida? You'd get eaten alive.    https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1119-Stump-Ln-Key-West-FL-33040/45797558_zpid/   yay colors!   https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/144-Sioux-St-Plantation-Key-FL-33070/45823559_zpid/ not really a true conch home, but a little postwar bungalow   https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/907-Frances-St-Key-West-FL-33040/45798678_zpid/ note the skinny beadboard/lathes that was cheaper than wider wood paneling     cute lil guest cottage   https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1410-Olivia-St-Key-West-FL-33040/45798867_zpid/ for some reason the first half of the photos on the listing have terrible HDR and the rest are mostly normal

I can't tell if I love the houses or just want to be in Key West right now. Perhaps predictably, the vivid spring/summer colour stories really appeal to me, especially when paired with the crisp whites.

Set a hot plate and an air fryer on the left and a bucket big enough to stand in for washcloth showers on the right and I could make that work for a half decade until the declining air quality kills me.

Greetings from the north, I haven't seen the sun for two weeks and yeah, all those bright colours really make me wish I was in warmer climes right now. At least I live in a town with lots of old houses that are painted in colours other than grey or beige! I will never understand why Finns are so adamant on amplifying the dreariness of winter by making everything else also as bleak as possible.

All these horrible toilets are due to apartment subdivision of some other house, aren't they? Like someone turns a house into three apartments and obviously you would need to offer an excellent deal on rent for someone who cannot poo poo in their home. People don't just do this from a cold start, right?
