i am soooo overdue for the comfoort of your home and all of our friends.

missfee said:

I like modern stuff too But I don't like too much glass, I like more practical/sturdy/less precious stuff. Thick, dark brown wood, comfy couches & chairs, warm tones...


I'm creaming for this table right now:



West Elm has some nice stuff



I love Pier 1 & Pottery Barn too...

So, IKEA really is popular with the Swedish?

kidelrich said:

yeah, with all the expats no longer in sweden, since it's a little piece of home they sell swedish food in the café

I like your style, missfee.

I'm not sure what my favourite style is - in an ideal world I think I'd have quite a minimalist approach. Nice and airy, lots of glass and light, not much clutter. Like one of those fab loft conversions everyone lives in in NYC.

Totally different to what I live in now - we've just moved into a new house so it's a ragbag of styles at the moment. You like kitsch? We got it. You like modern? You got it. Fancy something a bit old fashioned? Come in and make yourself at home.

The best bit is: my mates who own the property are giving us the money to furnish it for them. Free reign, our choice as to what we buy. Shopping on other people's money.

Were getting my son a bed like that for Christmas!

i really want this orange flip flop sofa/bed from crate & barrel. it's on hinges so you can make it into a bed REALLY easily, and in my little studio apartment that's important.

of course, this thing costs a thousand bucks, so i'll be holding off a while...

That might be the coolest bed EVER!!

Wassup gurl....?!

As long as it can contain the bahts, TheBahtMaster is all good.

That bedroom set is great Missfee! Not sure about some of the other postmodernist stuff. I do like modern design over contemporary though, but favor Art Deco Arts and Crafts period stuff. A lot of new furniture takes on board these design concepts like straight lines, no fuss, great quality materials and I really like that.

But it depends where I am, holiday homes need a rustic country feel, and loft apartments have to be minimalist. I try and combine both in my home, some antique dark wood with modern pices too. I love Japanese influences also, black tiki wood and soft reds and burnt oranges, great bedroom and Dining room vibe.

Something like this screams style to me



Could never afford it

Just yet

My favourite pieces are our deco chairs like these.



Ours have the same cream leather seat and back but the rest is in cherry wood panelling, they are to die for - I love them! (But I couldn’t find an exact picture - and my description does not do them justice

Ooh, I like your style.

Art Deco...

And if I could afford it, I think I'd kit out my house entirely with Rennie Mackintosh. To die for.

onenitealone said:

But there is a lot of poor "Mackintosh style" stuff out there that simply does not catch the true magic of his style. Some of his stuff is a bit to floral for my likeing and I would have to be a bit fussy for exaple:



Chair on the left "yes" chair on the rihjt "no"

As for a whole house!! I might go cross eyed with all those stripes

pardonme4livin said:

Not much! U? He's into outdoorsie stuff, and we have his room like a log cabin, so were gonna get a bed like that.

We (it's Drew's) have art deco from the 1930s.

PREDOMINANT said:

True. Maybe that's a bit much.

I've always wanted to go and visit his house near Glasgow. Looks phenomenal.

Susannah? Zaara?

onenitealone said:

Can I add at this point that furniture was invented in Scotland.

Fact.

JustErin said:

Erin, I love that!...Mint/chocolate. Gorgeous.

PREDOMINANT said:

There's beveled glass/mirror in that room somewhere, I just know it!

Cool, Predom...

fathermcmeekle said:

Another great thing to come from Scotland!

Have you been to his house, fatherM? I saw it on some programme once and my jaw dropped. Two friends of mine went to Glasgow last year and popped in whilst they were there - they loved it.

Last time I was in Glasgow I couldn't face going into the Mackintosh shop - I would've drooled all over the furniture.

There's this new bed thats held up by magnets, I wouldnt mind that!




Here's the link.
