Well, I, er, uh, don't know what to say except...
...it DOES look like that, doesn't it!!!
Thank you, Janszoon. I actually had a friend come over once and say, "It looks like a picture out of a house magazine!" It doesn't usually. Normally it looks cluttered, covered with legos, and very dusty. I prefer to blame the dust on the shedding carpet rather than on my skin, but I don't fool myself.

I just make it when I have people over. Looks a bit nicer. Apart from that... let's see...
There you go. That's what it looks like right now
Unmade.
It's really convenient
I love your house. I probably wouldn't buy the same furniture, but I love the rooms themselves, the woord, the pillars and the subtle colours. It's really very very nice
And it's great to see some speakers. In no way ideally placed, but at least you have speakers . Took me some time to find them though.
It's all very nice and light. Really. |
S_k, YES YES YES!! Your bed is in the PERFECT state for reducing the dust mite population!!! Good job. And typing fast IS very convenient.
In defense of the furniture, I actually didn't buy much of it. Most was inherited. But I did buy the dining room chairs and the two small red swivel chairs in the living room, so the blame for them falls on me alone.
I don't like overstuffed furniture. I dislike our old-fashioned, skirted sofa and the big Lazyboy (not my choice). I prefer the sleek lines of your more modern sofa, for example, but sometimes you end up with what you end up with. And the Lazyboy IS comfortable, I'll give it that.
The speakers are too high, aren't they!
I actually have four speakers around the room so a listener can be surrounded by the sound. Two of the speakers are in the ceiling far from the TV/sound system. I don't really care about that issue but since some people do I tried to plan in speakers for their sake.

I like the wood frames toooooo!!!! They are natural pine. And the microwave is GE and I am fond of it as well. I like its easy-to-use design.
I'm glad the house looks open and inviting, Burning Down, because that's what I wanted. My goal was to have the house feel like walking in a forest, with the columns like tree trunks and the various ceiling level heights like the layering of tree limbs above your head.
I also tried to make sure the main rooms all get light from 3 sides (with the largest windows on the south to help warm the house), so you feel as if you were outdoors. Thank you for your feedback!
