I bought a place recently and it's a white box with gray LVT floors. I managed to change all that light bulbs from 5000k to a more reasonable color temp, but I'm at a loss what to do with the rest of the place. Can anyone recommend a good resource for design ideas? All I know of is Google image search and Houzz, but those aren't always helpful. I'm getting pretty desperate for some color and texture to the place but have no idea what I want our how to pick something.

I bought this (cheep) rug as a placeholder and didn't realize it has an almost swastika until a guest pointed it out.

Anyone know where I might find the hanging lamp in this picture? https://www.houzz.com/hznb/photos/scandinavian-farmhouse-scandinavian-family-room-portland-phvw-vp~84300571 I don't know the first place to look or even how to describe it enough to hunt it down.

MetaJew posted:I'm on mobile but in most Houzz posts you can comment on the photo and ask the OP for info on a particular item. The OP hasn't responded to any questions in that particular thread in years, but I did some more digging and figured out what that light is: https://www.rejuvenation.com/catalog/collections/conical-24in-drum-pendant/products/5c410d5fccf2f75022c24f16

Does anyone have an idea of what type of wood they used for all of the trim and window frames in this house: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/16-Buford-St-Sumter-SC-29150/69175848_zpid/ It might be pine with a pretty light stain, or it could be something else with just a clearcoat. This house was posted in Youth Decay's word-of-the-day post awhile back and I've been thinking about trimming some of my windows in this style.

aldantefax posted:Hello thread, I need some ideas on how to decorate a transition-type space in a new construction house. How big is the tea table? While trying to decide if it fits in the room or not make sure to account for ~3ft of extra pace on all sides of the table you want to sit at. For the stairs I'd also like to hear ideas. I have a similar setup (minus parents) with a long straight stairwell that's the only entrance. My working plan is to get a series of pieces of art to hang, but it needs more work than that to feel less sterile. The walls and trim are both white, and the stairs themselves are just gray painted wood. I've thought about carpeting the stairs but this is the main entrance and I'd be tracking dust from the garage and dirt and water in from outside pretty quickly. I'm also planning on replacing the white railing with a stained wood one, and I'm considering running a piece of trim at ~3ft up to break up the giant expanse of flat white wall on each side. I briefly considered wainscotting but it doesn't fit the rest of the place well.

This house was posted a few days ago in the Word of the Day post (which I love never stop YD). Does anyone know what the design style that the shelf against the ceiling is called? It mimics the woodwork used on the exterior railings and trellis supports. Its most obvious in this picture: https://photos.zillowstatic.com/uncropped_scaled_within_1536_1152/ISjza3jkuqj4761000000000.webp

Is it weird to use kitchen wall cabinets as a floating sideboard/buffet cabinet in a dining room? I have a 10-12ft stretch of empty wall next to my dining table, and about 1ft of depth to work with. I can't seem to find any pieces of furniture that fit this space quite right but it occurred to me that wall cabinets are about the right dimensions. I'd need to put a counter top on them and probably end caps but that's doable.

"Homage" might be the best set of interiors yet. I love almost all of that post instead of the usual one or two houses. Keep up the awesome daily posts Youth Decay! Even when I only like part of the posts I still enjoy looking through what's out there.

Is there anywhere I can get a stained glass door like this without going custom? https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/108-N-Main-St-Glenford-OH-43739/241720336_zpid/?mmlb=g,32 It's rad as hell and I want one.

3D Megadoodoo posted:Americans love to mount their televisions way too high. Look at any thread where goons post their own living rooms. I have a lovely gas fireplace with a perfect tv sized space above it. I never use the fireplace so I put the TV on a stand right in front of it at the proper height. Everyone I've had over freaks out and tells me I need to move it above and look dumbfounded when I explain why not.

amethystbliss posted:We're just wrapping up our huge redecorating project and thought I'd share some of my favorite accent pieces/purchases to date. The overall feel of our home is very neutral, but with lots of earthy textures and natural materials (marble, travertine, bone inlay, leather, boucle, stone washed linen, etc.). Not shown here, but a few of our rugs have dark olive tones which makes the rooms feel more cozy. What's your secret for craiglist finds? Are you just browsing it daily or do you have any tips to filter through the mountains of garbage? More specifically, I'm always looking for sources of artwork. Where'd you get yours from?

I finished this recently and enjoyed it alot. It's basically a history book. There aren't alot of pictures but if you look up all the weird architecture that's referenced in it is like a historical version of Youth Decays daily posts.

You should start around page 450. Youth Decay started them much earlier than that but the older posts have a ton of broken links. I think at some point YD switch hosting systems so newer posts should be better preserved.

Kinda disappointed that they didn't show the shop. Whoever buys that is going to need a good work space to maintain the rest of it. I'd totally live there.
