If you would like to see my decorated house....

10 years ago

I am so tech challenged that I had my DD post some of the pictures of my house that I have decorated for the Christmas Home Tour next Saturday...some things have been done since the pics, but it will give you an idea....

I do not know how to post the link on this forum, but the pics are on "Holidays" and "Smaller Homes" forums if you would care to take a peek.

Merry Christmas to each of you from my house to yours!

I will probably have more to say on this later, but briefly: right now I feel that when it comes to interior design we are in a stasis, and it will be so until there is a new technology that is applicable to furniture design and construction. The last cognitive leap, so to speak, in furniture design was in the mid-century period, when new technologies allowed designers to create wholly new designs--e.g. the Eameses and George Nelson and others who applied steam formed plywood splint technology and plastic embedded fiberglass (from aeronautical sources?) to create now Iconic plywood and fiberglass chairs, etc. Expanded foam technologies lead to the gigantic foam furniture, such as the Ligne Roset Togo. And then people got experimental with blow-up furniture and bean bags. AND --this is key-- they were all processes that allowed Inexpensive Mass Production. The next major furniture movements, the Post-Modernist and Memphis Movements (see "Ruthless People") were cartoonish riffs on existing styles...a sure sign that there was nothing essentially new. Crooked shelves, slanted tables, and chairs made out of glass are interesting expressions, but they don't really add much to the vocabulary of good approachable pieces. There are some high tech applications and materials used to make furniture currently (Graphite Fibers and such) but they are expensive and not accessible for mass production. So, while we are surrounded by technological advances in the "envelope" of our houses (mostly artificial intelligence stuff), I think the interiors are going to be reiterations of what has come before, until an innovative material comes along.

Patti43.....I am not sure what to call the color of the guest bath....I bought the towels on sale at Penney's....and my builder took one to the store and they matched the paint.....LOL... It is kind of a seafoam blue. Thanks for all of the wonderful comments.....and I am glad you enjoyed looking at the pics. We didn't get much of the rain that other places had, but thankful for the little we did get.....every little bit helps :-)

Wow, that's some veining. It'll be breathtaking. Did you ever post a plan of how you changed your kitchen plan from the original houseplan to how you want it? I would really like to *see* what you are envisioning for that great space...Since I don't think I was getting the whole picture from what you were describing.

Phoggie, you should have someone post your link over at the building a home forum. I loved looking at your pics. I'll bet lots of others would too.

Congratulations. It's just beautiful.
