new jersey "19th century" "eclecticism"
Added 2024-11-30 02:37:08 +0000 UTCHowdy folks, and happy thanksgiving! This house (which originally appeared on the McMansion Hell Livestream) is a doozy -- definitely not a stylistic choice you see often, even in Bergen County.
As for thanksgiving, I'm especially thankful for you, my patrons!!!! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! (Bonus posts are coming tomorrow!)

One is for up, one is for down. Duh.

2024-12-03 04:14:40 +0000 UTCAnyone else always see that lawyer foyer picture and think, "Why'd they do that artsy fade to black-and-white at the bottom?" before understanding they they just didn't do any color in real life? Every. Time. I see. The picture. I wonder if it has that affect in real life. And, if so, if it causes brain damage.

2024-12-01 23:34:47 +0000 UTCI think if I lived in one of those dueling staircases houses, my minor ocd esque tendencies would require me to alternate which one I use each time.

2024-12-01 00:47:39 +0000 UTCHeh. Yep. Took a while, and more contemporary architects, before we got much more dialed down design, inside and out. Still lots of folks who like it busy, clearly, but at least the options are much broader.

2024-11-30 17:15:43 +0000 UTCSweet!! By the way, if I haven't said it enough, I absolutely love your commentaries and wonderfully snarky references to various architectural movements. I've actually been considering hiring you to look for our next house!

2024-11-30 15:41:26 +0000 UTCI think the best lesson for that is in St Paul's in London. One bit of it was left as Wren intended: unadorned, architecture speaking for itself. The English failure too understand the phrase "tone it down" had covered the rest. It's a vivid example of how more is often not better.

2024-11-30 04:34:12 +0000 UTCThe worst part to me is the flat white ceiling in the bar area. Surely that should be some kind of stained wood beam situation.

2024-11-30 03:51:12 +0000 UTCYikes. Every time I see one of these that horridly busy, I become more of a minimalist, I think.
