OK so I need 10 million dollars
Comments (7)Hey, black thumb ... ... is it a gardening business, by chance? ole joyful P.S. You have an eye to forking out 10 million or so ... ... and you don't like the ... ... Furniture ... ... Fireplaces? Anyone accuse you of Foolishness? ole joyful P.S. In the light of the current, and possibly prolonged, recession ... ... to whom do you propose to sell it, when you don't need it any more? The Boomers, who've enjoyed those big houses, now approaching retirement, won't need such biggies any more, so there may be more houses of that type than potential buyers ... and, in the light of the erosion of high-paying jobs in our area, possibly far more than potential buyers with the wherewithal. And in the marketplace - those latter are the only ones that count! o j...See MoreOK so I need 10 million dollars
Comments (47)Walkin, you will have to take that up with Gregori. His English is a little eccentric, but perhaps with the appropriate gestures...? As to the decorating, two options occur to me. One, we offer Michael S. Smith the chance to hide out with us until the B of A debacle blows over (not his responsibility, of course...he was only making his client happy), and so he can rest from the push of the White House job. We feed him, house him, and let him use the Bentley, and in return, he settles any squabbles we may have. Or, two, we turn ourselves into a reality show. "The Real Housegorgons of Belvedere." Then the sqabbles, while humiliating, out of character, and permanently destructive of our reputations, will pay for anything we'd like to do. Now, let's see, what was it that they call people who will do morally repugnant things for money...???...See MoreThat is NOT an Eames chair, you idjit!
Comments (13)I've tried three times now to watch this show, and just can't get past about 15 minutes in, when I grow so disgusted with the self-importance of the "characters" that I'm forced to flip channels. I guess the whole gist of the program is that the audience is supposed to be entertained by the over-the-top behavior even more than the over-the-top decorating, but I just find it annoying as hell....See MoreMillion Dollar Homes filled with IKEA furniture
Comments (139)I've been lurking on this wild one.... it seems to have spun in many directions, triggered by words and different perspectives. I've purchased many Ikea items in the past, from housewares to a freestanding cabinet/island. Many were temporary purchases in a temporary living situation, others were not. Some were decent quality, while others, frankly, are somewhat lacking. That "Lack" table I owned did not last long before the finish failed --- but the French-made enameled cast iron fondue pot is very good quality. The items fit a purpose at the time and were functional, and the right style at the right price point. At this time, I find the style vocabulary pretty limiting and the quality on many items less than I'm seeking. I'd gladly consider the cabinets for our loft, but I find the design flexibility lacking for my situation. Back to the original topic, style and design aside, I see some very expensive real estate in SF outfitted with some visibly low quality furniture. I always attribute it to the transitory nature of the residents, the high cost of real estate, a lack of interest, personal values or the spending priorities of the owner. Without knowing the person, I can't really speculate on the motivations. But it does happen, a lot....See MoreOakley
