this shit:



HELL NO

yall know what this chair is for, don't you?

uh, that would work better on a rooftop than in a living room--- wouldn't it?

i could live with this type of funky





http://www.funkysofa.com/

Looks like something savage clone would use as a furniture. if it was red.

My living room, bedroom, storage space and all the shit I own is crammed in one huge 13,5 square meter room.

ahh you were lucky then, oh I forgot to mention that I also can't bring myself to buy one of those funky sofas with the square armrests cause I had to sleep on one every day for a year cause we didn't have enough space in the apartment at that point as we hadn't made an extra bedroom which we needed. Those things are goddamn uncomfortable! Oh and by rustic I just kinda mean comfortable and not made out of plastic, I think I've had enough plastic hehe

Oh here's a couple of pictures of lamps very similar to those that were in my bedroom:










Apparently it sure is trendy again, since this one's selling for GBP 125, haha we should've sold ours instead of throwing it away:
A vintage 1960's/1970's ufo pendant light in luminescent opalescent plastic and bright orange lacquered metal

Purchased in Denmark, this vintage 60's or 70's ufo-style light has a central band and cap made of very high-gloss brilliant tangerine orange lacquered metal, while the top and bottom halves of the main body are matching opalescent and smooth hard-moulded plastic discs with a gently undulating sculpted form. The light has a diameter of 35cm (13.75 inches) and is in excellent condition.

that stuff is AWESOME!!!

sorry you became allergic to it.

and no, i don't think im lucky for having grown up in boring living rooms, i never liked my parents' furniture, it always annoyed me. when i was about to leave home the finally had the dough to purchase custom made furniture from an architect friend of the family-- he charged a fortune for his stuff and made it for my parents at cost-- still it was ultraexpensive-- clean lines, chrome, heavy glass, really cool stuff. anyway i didn't get to enjoy much of that. there is apparently some stuff of my grandparents around as well-- some art deco shit i hope to some day get my hands on.

but anyway-- i thought by rustic you meant this type of stuff:





ha ha. not my thing, but it has its place in the universe i suppose.

that's a nice couch.

hehe oops maybe rustic was the wrong word to use, but yeah this would be good for Grizzly Adams or whatever his name was.

Well I'm glad you're really thinking about what you like, really the most important thing is that you feel comfortable with the furniture that surrounds you, nomatter what other people think, if you have an affinity for modern lines then you should surround yourself with them.

I hate living with the people I'm living with atm. Our tastes are so different. And they have a bunny and two rats and however many mice, and the rodent room of stench, IS BAD. Bunny shits all over the loungeroom even though its 'toilet trained' what bs.

I decorate our garden and bedroom, thats about it. Everything else is just too scary.

aha!

now i see why you need a vacation OUT OF TOWN

thanks, that was cool to watch, 50's car design cracks me up a little, but it's stuff, very flinstones. the little devos doing the design were also a peculiar sight.

haha exactly!

so the "i enjoy my life" was bull as i suspected :p

5-star hotel room in town FTW

ok, back to living rooms.

On the plus side, bunnies clean up their own shit afterwards by eating it.












































yes, that's my only contribution to this thread in case you wondered.

^^ awesome

I wouldn't mind living in a house with 480,000 square feet like that, because then I could probably afford furniture that badass as well.

hehe yeah those look more like showrooms than houses to me, nice in theory but who can afford it?

their parents

hehe well apart from the offspring of the stupidly rich!

I suggest you to stress more attention on the library. It's probably the most explicative "object" of the living room, plus it makes a great effect if in contrast with modern sofas.
do you already have an Idea?

this... sofa/chair/table/shelves or whatever it is... by zaha hadid is awesome. that's all you need. a place to sit, a place to eat, and a place to put a lot of stuff. there should be nothing else in the room at all. shit at the price this thing probably goes for, there might not even be money left for the room... you'll just have to rent a lot in a trailer park and put this there. too bad it doesn't come in red.

thanks man. for you and toko - the conclusion to my fallingwater tour: the guest house

the bedrooms are now offices for the staff and maintenance.




after the tour was over they took us to what used to be the garage and showed us a short movie about how much it costs to maintain the place, then asked for donations. I had already paid you-don't-want-to-know-how-much for the tour and photography rights. I expressed my displeasure by pretending the tour was still going on.




looping back down the driveway takes you behind the main house...




...and around to the classic photo spot.




it's kind of a shame, but due to tourist demand, they've cleared a bunch of trees so that people can stand shoulder to shoulder to try to reproduce a photo they already have at home in a book. still, that didn't stop me from doing the same.

That is sad, awesome house though. Damn.

I caught my one rat, Mortimer, eating his own shit the other day. I saw him nibbling on something, grabbed it and it was a fucking turd. I was so grossed out because I'm around rats all the damn time and haven't seen any of them do that.

i don't like this thread.

My cousin in law has this chair sweet as fuck

I really like this thread being that I am an interior designer and all:)

sweet bong

^oh yeah
