I want to make my own desk more than anything but my current arrangements make it impossible/overly expensive. I like the clean design, and the solid top. I hate this piece of poo poo ikea desk that I have now, it's a big laminate box filled with cardboard. I don't need or want draws or shelves, but I do want a fat desk, the width is good. I mean, width in the direction you are looking in when you sit at the desk, I hate the monitor being up close. My main monitor right now is half off the back off the desk, touching the wall. The desks like this at physical stores near where i work are all real skinny. The cable management is really cool, I wouldn't use the felt things, I just like the slot and how it's not just a straight hole. E: Also I'm in Australia. Eagain: Lack of cable management isn't a dealbreaker. I'm happy to figure that out myself, I don't see an issue with screwing stuff into the back/bottom of the desk, assuming it can support it. underage at the vape shop fucked around with this message at 06:38 on May 16, 2017 |

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:tops and legs Tasteful Dickpic posted:You could buy a kitchen countertop and put legs on it. I don't know why I didn't think of doing that, I am definitely able to put stuff together myself. The legs from your site TB ship free here, the table tops are $359US in shipping, but I'll look into sourcing stuff locally Arachnamus posted:ikea That would suit me perfectly, the depth of it would let me put my monitors the same distance away as they are now and not have them overhang off the edge of the desk. Australia Ikea doesn't have that table but I'll go have a look what they do have. I'm a little biased against them, mum furnished the house almost exclusively with Ikea furniture. Actually the desk I'm using now is from Ikea, it's a big block of laminate filled with cardboard. It's being held together by half a roll of duct tape. I hate it so much, but to be fair, mum bought it for me when I was like 14 so its had a long life, considering. The Ikea tables look like they are solid though, and I'm working next to one tomorrow, so I'll go have a look. Hambilderberglar posted:this for uhhh... going on a decade now, though I emphatically recommend you do not do what I did and get the glass worktop. Yeah glass sounds like a pain the butt. Luckily, I really like timber. That's a sweet table too. PRADA SLUT posted:$1400 for a desk is pretty cheap considering a good desk will last longer than you will. $1400 for something you never have to buy again sounds like a good deal to me. That's like $35 a year. Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Yeah but - and I don't think this should become a class warfare thread because everybody's got a different income level and has the right to enjoy life to the extent that they can afford - when I was younger $1400 was like my spending money for an entire year. The site makes me feel like they are cashing in on the bespoke artisinal craftsmanship hype. I don't mind spending money for quality but I don't get the feeling there's going to be $1400 worth of quality there. If I saved up I could afford it, but the price of it offends me more than the lovely cardboard construction of Ikea desks. underage at the vape shop fucked around with this message at 03:28 on May 17, 2017 |

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Sorry, didn't mean to ignore you! Everything I know about heated floors comes from watching Holmes on Homes (notably an episode where he made a big deal out of installing them in a Los Angeles remodel and the homeowners were like "uh we don't even have a furnace but... thanks?") but I think as long as you don't cut corners on material or skilled labor you should be fine. My dad used to build bathrooms for a living, FWIW these in nice colours (like these 2) look real good, in bright vibrant colours I always thought they turned out tacky. I'm talking like bright blue and red. ick. My dad actually got a kickback from one of the Australian manufacturers of these, one of the chemicals used for installing these is safe if it doesn't get through the top layer (which normally it can't), but it gets through the holes you make for taps etc, and makes them crack. He was the one to figure that out, I don't think they use that chemical anymore because of it. I don't remember what it was, I was still a kid when it happened. Might have been methylated spirits I think, for cleaning the gunk off after the install. If you go that route, that's something to look into, because if you crack it while cleaning you gotta rebuild the whole wall. underage at the vape shop fucked around with this message at 03:44 on May 17, 2017 |

The only thing i hate about that bathroom is the toilet, toilets deserve their own room. What happens if you gotta poop but someones in the shower? You're screwed. Bathroom toilets are the worst idea ever.

Spring Heeled Jack posted:who the heck hates a plant i find them tacky. E: I think plants in houses is a very American thing, you don't really see indoor plants in Australia like you do on the internet. Over here you might have a lil cactus or a bonsai, but bigger plants are for waiting rooms. Maybe it's different in the bigger cities but Brisbane is very green outside anyway, even in the city itself, so maybe people here just don't feel the need. I'm within an hour from the cbd and I'm within day trip distance to quite a lot of forests, mountains and national parks. I can just go outside and be surrounded by a million cockatoos in a million gumtrees. Maybe also, subreddits like r/malelivingspace have made me think bad of them because You Need Plants is something they obsess about, and they have plants just to have plants, they use them terribly. Who wants a big fake palm tree in their otherwise clean modern loungeroom? I really hate fake plants full stop. They are mostly used by trendy cafes and bars trying to manufacture an atmosphere and thats what I think when I see them. PRADA SLUT posted:

bEatmstrJ posted:That being said, unless my rudimentary understanding of science is completely flawed, if you want to put something in the ground, you have to dig a hole. As far as I know, there's no way around that. If, in the process of digging that hole I happen to break a gas line, well, that's a mistake that needs to be fixed. But alas, no gas lines were broken. You dumbass, it's like knowing full well there are gas pipes there, getting warned there are gas pipes there, seeing that the gas pipes are an important structural part of the house, and cutting into them anyway without researching what you are looking at. You're dumb as gently caress. You're so far up yourself you can't see that. You're trying to justify it with slimy, sleazy salesman talk, you're too thick to see that your pitch is to yourself and you're selling the lie of competence. You're a case study for the dunning kruger effect. Post the pics.

people here made fun of me for not liking house plants a while ago. i took a look on reddit and i remembered why some dude posted this:  Lets take a look at the comments   some other dude:  top comment:    Yeah just chuck a plant on the table that will make it a well designed and quality "Male Living Space" Then there's this dude   This is peak r/malelivingspace. They loving love it. The only thing it needs is a fake unused eames chair in a corner of a room as a $1200 space waster. This is why I hate plants. You just HAVE to have them. They are the one stop solution to all your design issues and needs. They are tacky and make you house look like a shopping center food court. Plants belong outside. Small pot plants for effect like a bonsai or a cactus can be good though underage at the vape shop fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Sep 5, 2018 |

Electric Bugaloo posted:Is this a joke post? The spaces with the plants and artwork in them look objectively better than the ones without- especially that awkward one with the desk serving double duty as a media stand(?) Also Eames chairs rule, all of them. That college room isn’t an example of good design. It’s the fact that plants are the automatic solution. If you go look at that thread, people say they absolutely love that room and it’s minimalist aesthetic but just add plants. That last one is horrible, why the gently caress do you have a palm tree inside your bedroom? What is going on with that giant monstrousity in the lounge room? You seriously think that is both functional and good looking? Eames chairs are good and comfy. People don’t buy them for that. They buy them to have them because mcm is good!!!! Complete the checklist!!!! And put it in some awkward corner where it will obviously never be used. That subreddit in particular is full of Eames armchairs being used as space filler. They are the everyday carry pocketknife of the perfect “Male Living Space” underage at the vape shop fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Sep 5, 2018 |

PRADA SLUT posted:i don't think people are dropping 6k on an Eames as an accent piece because ~~mcm~~ The fake ones they actually buy are much cheaper. I know you have one and I'm not talking about yours, which is in the middle of your room. I'm talking about the ones that are in an awkward corner under a tv that you know barely get used just by looking at how its placed in the room. Similar to those show loungerooms the thread was discussing a few pages back, the people who were being discussed drop way more than 6k on those rooms. E: I don't hate mcm by the way I think its great. I hate the obsessiveness. I also don't hate designs on reddit for that other dude, my desk is the same ikea butcher block you see everywhere on there. underage at the vape shop fucked around with this message at 05:59 on Sep 5, 2018 |

Add a layer of gold gilt and less precision in the shell arrangement, and that was it. photos make it look really bad. in person its still incredibly ugly, but its weird because it still looks okay? I guess because the person who built it was an ancient german master decorator vs some dude. wonder what it looked like before it was covered in centuries of dust and grime and got all sunfaded.

Turqoise got its name from the french going to turkey and being really REALLY impressed with all the blue tiles like the ones above. Like its the word for Turkish in French (I'm assuming the s is silent and us dumb english speakers are too unsophisticated). Rich Europeans did that a lot, they'd encounter a new culture with some thing and copy the poo poo out of it, and all the rich dudes in the other european nations just have to have it too. Check out the blue mosque in Turkey, its cool.
