One interesting thing about this thread is the US/UK divide. One trend that's apparently huge in the U.K. is serving food not on plates, but just on flat slabs, including slates. I'm aware a couple restaurants do it over here, but I haven't actually seen it, but apparently it's maddeningly ubiquitous there.

I see a pretty decent amount of that here in the US, at least the plainer ones. And Ialso like seeing the atlantic decor divide

I do think that shelving books spine in is dumb, but there's plenty of historical precedent for it, that was the norm a few hundred years ago

Prada slut can sound obnoxious or moralizing sometimes (which seems partly in response to how he's treated here), but I think what he's mostly arguing against is people not having what they'd like because of their own laziness or mistaken ideas - and that seems pretty good and cool to me

That's an awful lot to assume about a stranger on the internet, don't you think? I mean, technically I suppose I could choose to live out of my car and just hope for the best when the temperature drops to -20C, but that's splitting hairs.

I assumed you weren't posting from prison is all

Disagree. Everything they added looks as cheap as possible, and that's extra discordant with the stained glass and stonework.

You might be right about the cheapness, but compared to the mess most church conversions I've seen are, it's pretty decent

Got any links. I tried to look up better versions of the same idea and found a bunch of really nice ones that were pretty much all single residences so you didn't have to dived the space so much.

No, sorry - I've just seen a couple weird conversions into single homes by people my dad lent to

Best imo is https://thespaces.com/born-again-cls-architects-turn-a-church-into-their-milan-hq/amp/ although it's not living space

Prada lives a minimalist life because that’s all he can afford & somehow rails on capitalism while buying poo poo like a 110 dollar loving laundry basket

Why do you think he can't afford to live differently? I've never gotten that impression

Sooo like a year and a half ago I posted some pics of a mid 60s double brick house I had just bought, due to the sheer ridiculousness of the decor.

So I did some renovations, and thought I might show a few of the rooms off. My partner has all of the design skills, I just execute the vision, with a little help from her dad.

Pretty happy with how all the flooring/paint ended up. Wanted to keep the mid-century thing going but with a bit less of the grosser elements of the period.

Seems like you mostly managed to trade feeling dated for feeling cramped, but maybe that's just the pictures. The new bathroom seems like it's from a different house

I agree that the TV looks a bit awkward in the alcove. There's probably some adjustment of depth, height, or supporting furniture that would fix it. Seems like the obvious place for it regardless

My parents continue to have a trash compactor in the kitchen. We figured out how to use regular bags with it just about as soon as the special bags the previous owners left ran out

Trying to justify to myself the 1500 (+shipping) price tag of this pristine Paul McCobb desk. I have always loved the planner group. Shopping around this is about new price for a desk of similar size.



It seems to be the best size for the bedroom it's going to live in. Not adjustable, but I need to temper my expectations after finally seeing the new apartment this weekend. We're not moving for 2 years and I work from home every day now.

Do it, the desk looks nice (that chair is even nicer)
