Has Anyone Seen This IRL? Idea for Study Wall
Comments (22)I think this is one of those times when a vision can't be explained to people who have never been in your home. If you love these and think they will look great, then try them out. To your comment about having a large library, I didn't mean to imply that someone with or without books should avoid art featuring books. I just meant that I already have so many walls covered by books that I was having trouble with the concept of featuring books on one of my few plain walls as an explanation of why the art you are considering didn't strike my fancy. You obviously have a much larger home than mine with many more walls to decorate....See MoreDupont Zodiac London Sky - Has anyone seen it in real life?
Comments (171)So I just called Corian and spoke with customer service. They said that everything as far as tone of background and colors of veining have remained the same. The veining was a more directional pattern for awhile but any slab that is made after 2019 will have more of the random veining in it. He said “ the veining issue was corrected”. Not sure if people were calling in and complaining, wanting old, random veining pattern back. Whatever the reason, the more random pattern will be in slabs made after the year 2019!! YAY!!...See MoreHas Anyone Built or Seen a Custom Home by an Architect?
Comments (47)Sure, and they all have memories and stories. Many years ago, I worked on one of Christopher Alexander's houses in the Berkeley hills. He used a lot of graduate student grunt labor. His team would take months to make even the most trivial decisions, with endless discussions. IIRC that house took five years to finish, and the couple who commissioned it got divorced before it was done. I once lived down the street from a pair of Thomas Gordon Smith post-modern numbers (the Tuscan and Laurentian), kind of a snarky send up of the typical suburban snout house. They were painted in a sort of Pompeii meets Miami Vice color scheme, with a neoclassical column in the middle of their wide garage doors, to break up the span. Sadly, one house was eventually repainted in boring colors, and some quirky exterior details removed. I never saw the insides, which were painted in huge classical style murals. When I first got married we went to England and saw the Colefax and Fowler building, the one with the Wyatt/Wyattville yellow drawing room. It's up on the second floor, via a dark, narrow, twisty flight of stairs papered with what look to be bad baroque paintings, but may be theatrical backdrops. The room itself isn't as wide or tall as it looks in pictures, and the arc of the ceiling is quite shallow. When I saw it, all the Nancy Lancaster furniture was gone, it was full of lamps. The paint work was a little obscured by nicotine and wood smoke, but you could still see the complicated oil glazing-- there are tiny pin point flecks of many colors in the glaze, which give an almost pearly effect. I think Fowler deliberately allowed the painters to use dirty brushes!...See MoreHas anyone used Porcelanosa LVT? For whole 1st floor of new home...
Comments (6)We recently had a flooring consultation/measurement meeting with a mom-and-pop flooring shop, and they did *not* recommend LVT/LVP for our home. Now, we want a dark floor (so if you want a medium or light floor, this may make a difference; I don't know), and we are a half-a-dozen-kids and large-dog kind of family living in 2k square feet (so everywhere is "high traffic"). The guy said that LVT really *isn't* "kid-proof" and "pet-proof"... What the manufacturer (COREtec) really means is "waterproof". He has seen large dogs scratch up a dark LVT floor in short order, and assured me that it would bother me something awful to see the damage, especially when the sunlight hit it. And he's right, lol. Have you gotten quotes for hardwood vs vinyl? The difference may not be as much as you think. I will say, though, that the only reason I'm still *maybe* considering LVP is because damaged boards can be replaced easily on a floating floor (the guy said he only installs floating LVP, no glue-downs at all). Even then, I might get a lighter/more busy floor (like hickory) to somewhat camouflage the inevitable damage. Regardless, buying lots of extra boxes probably isn't a bad idea. :-D...See More
