love the artwork
would never do this, but OMG - so cool!
With today’s models, there isn’t necessarily a right number of blades for a ceiling fan. It’s more of an aesthetic preference than a practical one. When it comes to airflow, the motor and the blade pitch are most important. The American Lighting Association recommends a 12- to 15-degree blade pitch for optimum air movement, although plenty of companies offer ceiling fans with steeper blade angles. “The steeper the pitch, the more air the fan can churn, like a mixer or blender,” Halcovich says. “Where the number of blades does come into play is with some of the very large eight-blade fans that have been introduced to the market in the last couple years,” Mokhtarei says. “The goal of these fans is to gently circulate air in the room, rather than to create a cooling breeze.”
nice ceiling fans
like the wood on the wall
like the front door - only one glass panel, but the cats could still look out and some light could come in.
love the interior courtyard
love the chairs by the window!
nice layout - like the black pointed windows, colour palette
interesting use of hallway space...
interesting layout - kind of maximizes the views, except for when doing dishes...
pothos living wall
The built-in wet bar is lined with grasscloth wallpaper and features a small sink with gold faucet. A pair of leather swivel chairs provide a comfortable spot for watching a movie on the flat-screen TV mounted above the fireplace.
Since the home’s entry is quite small, Childress wanted to create as big an impact there as possible. Upon opening the lacquered plum-hued front door, one encounters a wall covered in a feather-inspired wallpaper. An antique mirror helps to visually enlarge the space, while the marble shelf underneath it holds a pair of bowls for keys. A chandelier of glass droplets completes the scene.
nice layout
like the blue and white palette through the whole house - very calming
The staircase features exposed raw plywood edges for the treads and risers. Raj had the tops of the bolts that secure the railing to the treads ground down and painted, so they are hidden for a cleaner, minimalist look.
wall paint: Verde Marrón, Sherwin-Williams
love the warm, linen-like wall colour
Off the living room is this screened-in porch — it provides 270-degree views of the bucolic landscape around the house. The stained Douglas fir planks on the vaulted ceiling add warmth. The floors are concrete that’s been ground down to expose the aggregate and then polished. This lends a terrazzo-like look the homeowners’ wanted.
9. Gray Owl by Benjamin Moore For this bathroom in Denver, interior designer Crystal Russell knew exactly the light gray she needed. “This particular gray was very soft and modern, with just enough cool gray, but with a subtle green undertone,” she says. “The color just reads very ‘quiet,’ and you can pick up more or less green during different hours of the day. It’s truly a perfect soothing bathroom color.”
8. Mindful Gray by Sherwin-Williams One color came up a lot when I was asking designers for their go-to light grays. “This is a warm gray that reads cooler when painted,” Clark says. “It easily balances out other warm colors in a space. For example, if you have true brown or red-yellow-brown-tone flooring, Mindful Gray is a smart tool to counter those tones.” The designer recommends balancing it with both sides of the warm-cool spectrum for the best look.
just saved for the sheer beauty of it...
A floating console made of stained walnut in the foyer provides a convenient spot for dropping off keys and other small items. A stool with black steel legs and a raffia seat below the console lets someone sit down to put on or take off shoes.
it's teak not walnut
looks awesome but wouldn't want to dust it.
walnut feature wall
love the idea of using a walnut wall 'feature' to help divide spaces
This quiet sitting room is another favorite spot for after-work reading and relaxing. Kaplan sized a custom sofa to fit snugly in front of the two large windows and flanked it with two sets of nesting tables. She added more linear elements with the lamps and coffee table. Pops of happy green go nicely with the grays, lavenders and purples that Kaplan used throughout the home. She layered in texture with the faux shagreen tables and hammered nickel-and-brass lamps. Because the dining room is open to this room, Kaplan continued the existing high wainscoting from that room in here.
interesting way to do the fireplace/tv combo - and neat to have the living room just on the other side of the kitchen. Nice, all in all
Because the Browns didn’t have any room for a bench and built-ins along a wall at the entry, the architects at Openhaus Design came up with this mudroom-in-a-closet idea. A bench slides out of the closet, and each family member has a storage cubby. But we can also accomplish this with a small seat, basket for shoes and no-shoes-indoors policy.
Sunlight passing through the window wall becomes a source of warmth and light. The floors provide radiant heat. At night, the heat stored in the floor radiates back into the rooms.
beautiful
neat dividing wall
