The stove in the Louis Armstrong's kitchen long postdates his lifetime - looks like circa 2005.

Rest of kitchen is awesome though. I want those radio-dial cabinet pulls! And the 1972 microwave oven and the NuTone thingie built into the countertop

That kitchen is excellent. Represent!

Louis Armstrong's kitchen looks a bit like (but I'm sure it isn't) a Lustron prefab; they had metal built-ins.

My neighbor has a lustron house, they are frustrating!

I'm fascinated by Lustrons, esp. originals that haven't been "improved," they're kinda rare. But I could never live in one.

Same kitchen, but lived in:

At least it will never be damaged by termites....

It's the Lustron thread!

GIS on "keith richard's house" is almost a primer on how to live

http://www.accreditedonlinecolleges.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/libraries/04-KeithRichards.jpg

I remember when Neil was on Leno in 1992 after one or two predictable questions from Jay, Neil said, "You know, I'd much rather play with this train you've got back here." For some reason, an electric train was part of the Tonight Show set. Neil jumped up and began moving things around (plants and such) to get to the train, to the surprise of Leno.

i am way too much of a tornado in the kitchen to keep a piano in it.

yeah something tells me the piano isn't going to get out of my way when i bark at it with a bunch of stuff in my hands

It's actually a vintage microwave

It's not a house, but definitely qualifies as a home...

Doorknob Display: Backstage passes, from Case's concerts and her friends' shows, hang on a doorknob.

pretty common for people who make their living on tour to hang laminates in bunches from a bedpost or a doorknob

Michael Stipe's loft - http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303901504577460941225466200.html?mod=rss_newyork_real_estate#

This is a great thread. Tried to find Rick Wakeman's appearance on 'Through the Keyhole' but failed. Ah well. It was just a house full of synths and wizards, anyway.

x-post

So Mr. Stipe has put his penthouse loft home and studio on Canal Street in SoHo on the market for $10.95 million as he searches for a suitable downtown work space to share with his partner, Thomas Dozol, a photographer and silk-screen artist.

Michael Stipe's place is for sale.

wakeman 'through the keyhole' sounds like the easiest possible.

Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow. http://habituallychic.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/house-of-gwyneth.html

I like their media room

omg i LOVE their media room but wish it had more carpet and a real conversation pit
i can't believe people actually live like that?!

yes to the kitchen! NO to the study. that wallpaper would give me a headache

most of the house is a bit too whitewashed for me, I'd be scared of getting things dirty bcs I am a walking dirtsmudge

agree with the whitewashed comment, but I like the super patterned wallpaper (blame acid...)

lol

Media room is nice, yeah. Sort of like the study too but I wouldn't want walls that busy *as a study*. Kitchen is just a kitchen - the only thing that I'm like "yes" to is the sheer amount of room they have, y'know. If someone gave me that house I wouldn't be anything other than made up about it, but the decor is yawwwwwwwwn for the most part.

it's cool that there are a couple of 'relaxed' though

always boggle at houses wehre there's SO many rooms. like you half expect them to have a 'day kitchen' and a 'guest kitchen'

ok yea you're right

i like copeys place a lot.

not too far from where i live either.

hmmm ...

Billy Bragg's house in Dorset: http://ianbone.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/bragg-house.jpg

Interior shots here: http://www.wellerworld.co.uk/billyshouse.htm

livin' the sweet socialist life

the cliffs round there are basically made of cheese, so good luck to him with that

how the fuck does billy bragg have that much money

couldn't work out whether or not that was just one residence in that picture. looks like about 3 houses?

dang. guess that's that Sexuality money?

strong and warm and wild and rich as hell

i have mixed feelings about looking at musicians' homes
on one hand, i want to see every tiny detail but also i cannot imagine such prying eyes around my home (not that anyone wants to see it but still) so i feel bad about looking

guilt not necessary when the house is up for sale !

i.e. julian copes.

love some of the detail re his ..

the chairs with the names on the back.
the guitars fixed to the walls.

I know they aren't musicians but I couldn't find a more appropiate thread

Is there a thread like the 'what do you wish you looked like' thread, but for what you wished your home looked like?

David Sylvian's old home/studio in New Hampshire is up for sale, yo:

https://www.facebook.com/pages/MA-Center-NH-465000/306095906159428

Damn. Prices are pretty good in rural NH.

That's like an hour away from me. If I could do my job remotely, I'd hop on that in a second.

Richard Ashcroft's new home plans for Taynton retreat

No photos of the inside, but apparently it "was built in 1660 and features a period bull-ring, a secret garden and an ornamental pond."

A bull-ring?

I question the rock stars who don't have a bull ring in their mansion.
