I like the colors and the geometrical shapes for tiling and floors. But I don’t like the furniture. I am watching because a house that I might buy is definitely MCM.
Two days ago I randomly thought about my mom’s set of dishes that she had when I was growing up. Last night I came across a set of 4 on a Canadian resellers Instagram & today your video featured a huge collection! I wondered how I could find them again for my mom & lo & behold, you showed the tag for “Arcoroc Octime” mugs. THANK YOU! Although I am in Seattle too, I doubt that these dishes are still available at that location.
I know this is a video from a number of years ago .. but you asked so .. here is my two francs worth. Both in Europe and Argentina [BA is called the Paris of SA] they also use herringbone wood floors .. which I prefer. It is sort of the transition style between the butt ends of "plank" flooring and the more angular ends the "chevron" floors. Also the interweave effect is somewhat more appealing to my eye. And as with chevron floors, the length of the board [pattern] can be used to influence the perceived scale of the room.
Sorry to contradict you, but Mid Century Modern Style originated in Europe between 1920 and 1930 no U.S.A. Also, most of the designers that were part of that era came from there.
I've got to tell you I am totally in love with art deco! I have a room full of art Deco paintings a couple vases - and even cubist mixed in with industrial style. That is my jam.
The previous homeowners wrecked the ceilings in our home in the kitchen, dining and living room. They were popcorn to begin with. They took down square light fixtures from 1961, and replaced them with round ceiling fans. Their patchwork was beyond lousy. They didn’t even try to make it look decent. There was a long crack from a useless beam that we took down, a large hole in the kitchen ceiling that wasn’t patched…🤦♀️ So, I had the idea-yes, I was proud that it was my idea, to just cover it all up with beadboard and firring strips. It looks amazing! It was a lot of work, but far easier and more beautiful than scraping, patching, repainting… We’ve now just sold our house. The ceilings were a wonderful selling feature! 👍🏼🥳
Man I’d just be thrilled if mine came off in one whole tile 🤦🏼♀️ mines just breaking off in pieces. They used actual mortar to put the tiles up. It’s from 1920, so I’m pretty sure thin set wasn’t a thing back then. I’ve been at it for days.
Thank you for splitting these into broad categories. A lot of videos would just throw design styles at me and be like here’s this one, here’s that one.
@6:32, 😡that horrible stonework is so clueless. @13:14, ugh. That has flip written all over it. Thanks for the reference to Cara Greenberg's book. I'll put it on my list of interesting things.
Thanks for your tips! As you know, store bought draperies are not always the length they claim to be. How do you compensate/adjust for this without having puddles on the floor? I'm talking about fabric, not my tears!
after 3 days of search on internet, Ikea, local stores and all documentations ... I found your video and you know what it thes best on internet with all this information <3 thanks for making such video ❤ and btw your smile is so beautiful 😍💫 subscribed :) Need one suggestion - I am thinking of using curtain track system from ikea mounted on ceiling, double layer curtains, outmost white linen and second layer is sand color linen sheer. Would you recommend this combination or I should choose dual rod mounted on wall instead ? also if I should go for rod .. would black looks better than white rod .. with white curtains ?
I’m just the opposite! I’m a 95%-er. I start my project, throw my entire self into it up until the last 5%, that I sometimes don’t complete until absolutely necessary. 🤭
