The huge couch in this room seems like a poor fit. Swallows up most of the space in the room. That is my only comment.

It's a really tough space. Fortunately it's modular and still available so he should have a lot of options as far as rearranging/changing the layout. The bad thing is that wall is one of the only places for a TV in that room. It was an act of god just to get that wall wired at all.

Is there like some countertop at the top of the stairs?

Adorable dog.

Clark,
Which room is going to be the "Illini" room?

QTrips · #44 08-18-2007, 01:38 AM

Are you sticking with the clearly Asian theme you have going on?

Nice place! He should be able to make it a showplace for you [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

fwiw I meant I don't particularly like that clock there

This thread is making me dread having money and trying to decorate my own space... attractively. I really like what you have going on right now and have no doubt in my mind I couldn't create anything 1/5th as nice. I guess an Interior Designer is my only recourse in the future.

And, am I the only one that thinks the ladder to nothing is hilarious?

It sort of makes it look like a dorm room that decided not to loft a bed.

God that staircase just brought up some bad memories from my floorcovering days. What a nightmare. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

What's with the ladder by the fireplace? It looks like someone left it there and doesn't really belong.

Cool lookin' countertops and table.

Winerack in the living room doesn't seem to fit, imo.

I like the plants.

At the risk of sounding gay, does anyone else think interior decorating sounds like an awesome job? I'm sure you gotta work you're way up, but playing with rich people's money and getting paid decently while doing it sounds like fun.

The wood color and feel of the ladder, to me, works well with the the general main floor accents. Who knows if it'll make the cut, he may well decide to kill it.

The ladder needs to go to somewhere. To me, it's an eyesore that sticks out. It's the first thing I noticed looking at that pic. It doesn't really work at all with the furniture, imo. It looks like a worker left it there or something. You could put a shovel on the wall instead and get the same effect.
