| advice on futon, sofabed, or murphy bed | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | whitespike | General discussion | |
| I am moving to a new city very soon, and I will need to make the most of my space. It's a little frightening because I plan on trying my hand at survival as a freelance designer. In order to save as much cash as possible during my "test-drive" time I will end up getting a one bedroom apartment. I need my bedroom to double as an office, so I need advice on maximizing my space affordably. Being the packrat that I am, I have acquired quite a bit of good vintage pieces that I am not willing to part with, save for just a few items. Since my sofa is one of those items I need to make a bedroom/office space. I need to either get a sofabed, futon, or wallbed. On any of these items I would like to spend (I know, I know, asking too much) around 500-700. A while back I saw a cool, simple murphy bed that was $400 delivered in a Dwell article. Unfortunately this company's website exists no longer. I also like the twilight sofa at DWR, but I don't know if I am willing to spend that much just yet. I have also seen some decent looking futons ny Innovation ans other similar companies, although you have to pick wisely. Some are unbearably ugly. So, know that this is what I will be sleeping on every night. Should I avoid sofa beds or futons for comfort's sake? Has anyone had experiece with any of these options that will maximize space, affordability, and comfort? | |||||

| It could be worse -- we've seen some real monsters which claim Wrightian inspiration. Aside from the acres of wallboard, I guess the biggest disappointment is the living room and its over-scaled clerestory and "art glass," with wood accents (so-o Wright !). The landscaping is delightful, in any event . . . | |||||

| Horizontal bands | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Horizontal bands of elephant-gray Homasote blocks, with alternating narrow stripes of color (enameled or laminated molding strips). One, two or three walls in a room. Apply thru wallboard to studs w/ light-guage finish nais or adhesive. Homasote (cheap and textural) or other light-weight panel material (Sound-dead board is sometimes available in a honey-camel color) blocks could be 24, 32 or 48 inches long by 8, 12 or16 inchs high (or any other desired dimension). The effect would be of a coarse fabric pattern or an echo of masonry coursing. It would soften the acoustic atmosphere. A cabinet shop could readily take 4 x 8 sheets of these goods and rip and cut them accurately to your list of parts. The moldings are available in many profiles and various lengths at your lumber yard -- clear pine is the usual material. SDR | |||||

| Black Bathrooms | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | Xavier | General discussion | |
| Matte. Anyone have one? I have a white walled interior in my house so I'm considering a contrast for my bathroom renovation. The room's not huge, but I'm working on the theory that dark walls will recede, rather than close the space in. I'm yet to investigate the potential for calcium staining on a matte black tile, but in the interim, does anyone have any experience of an all black bathroom? | |||||

| RE: Can you make sense of this mark? | 1 Relevance | 5 years ago | mark737 | Identification | |
| Just did some research and learned a bit about the Swedish fiberboard industry (just what I had planned for the day). It seems pretty clear that Royal Board was strictly a fiberboard maker, based in Skinnskatteberg from 1952 until the mid 80's. I found no mention of them as a furniture maker in any of the historical info I found. This history was the best I came across: http://backbergslagen.blogspot.com/2019/08/wallboardfabriken-ett-drama-i-tva-akter.html | |||||
| Nope, not a fan of stark white | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | Olive | General discussion | |
| Nope, not a fan of stark white for furnishing or wallcolor. I don't like beige-y tones either, which is why I use greys. But all my towels, bedding, napkins, etc. are white cotton. My dishes are either black, white or clear glass. I also only use white candles. In summer I will use white accents to balance the green light from the trees. The colors I use are intentionally pushed towards natural tones. This house is very exposed to the outside and I have to think of it as another room or part of the design scheme. Which, BTW is very Japanese, and another reason why this house is so asian influenced. Bu tfor some dam**d reason, despite being able to pick furniture for every room orf my home without a fuss, a good coffee table eludes me. So for now I buy nothing until inspiration strikes. We came very close to getting the Merge or the Pill from Lee Kline (link below) but decided it was too 'mod' for this house. I lean towards a more clean loft-like minimalism but the design of the house is very FLW/asian and somewhat earthy so I need to subdue my desire for hard lines. http://www.klinedesign.com/klinefurniture2004.html | |||||
| Totally, dude . . . | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | SDR | Off topic | |
| Totally, dude . . . I'm not sure the owners understood me when I enthused that Wright's interiors sometime bring on (to me) an ancient vibe -- something perhaps medieval. The darkish boards and brickwork, the angles and sloped ceilings and big fireplace: it all seems so . . . old. In a good way. It's definitely in contrast to the brightly-lit, white-walled spaces, the painted metal and bright colors of so many mid-century interiors we love. | |||||

| architecture in Honolulu | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | Richard Tanimura | General discussion | |
| architecture in Honolulu Honolulu still has some Art Deco buildings. Movie theatres in particular used that architecture. There are a couple near china town. Characteristic for Honolulu are the old stone buildings you can find in China Town. I think they are great. Another nice place is the Contemporary Museum in upper Makiki. It used to be the private residence of some family - the Spauldings I think. The building is nice, the grounds and the view are spectacular, and you can eat a decent lunch there as well. Out in the country, you can still find single walled wooden houses that are as old as dirt. This is what most of Hawaii looked like in the 50's. You can also find the occassional hut made of corregated iron sheeting left over from WWII. These are not beautiful but they offer a historical perspective. | |||||

| The Banda Bowl My sister uses that one and it's huge, which is great if you are serving salad to more than 2-4 people, which she often is. It's not as thick-walled or as sturdy as the restaurant supply one I have, though. Hers shows lots of creases and dents o nteh sides from active use. But it's a good option, for sure! | |||||
