department of the interior: home decor

Reading the product description and review made me feel like I'd been observing an alien planet.

i'm going to assume that by "my own art" she means "art that i own" rather than "art i've made myself"

I'm going to hope so.

I think that's overly optimistic

Man there's like two or three of those just up for grabs in the hall outside my grad school studio, I'm gonna be rich.

I have a tall but narrow room with one window that gets no direct sunlight, and I want to put a dining table in it and make it brighter and more inviting. I have:

2 pendant ceiling lights that I can move around and rehang at various heights, and
1 corner with access to electricity where I can put a table lamp which will define a reading nook/conversation area

There are no other outlets or elec in the room.

I'm not asking for a whole diagram or w/e but I would take any advice. Brian, you said something about light color earlier but I looked on packages at the store and I couldn't make sense of the various measurements.

At this point I actually feel like color matters less (unless it's a TRULY TERRIBLE COLOR) than proximity, ie my eyes are straining if the light isn't near/directly lighting the thing I'm looking at.

Add mirrors/reflective surfaces

definitely! those make any space look larger, or confuse me in bars and make me wonder why a guy on the other side of the bar looks like me

Hm I have thought of adding a mirror, I could never decide on the placement but maybe putting the table in will show me where a mirror has to go.

put it across the table from where you sit and never drink alone

i just bought this rug, it's really big and awesome:

http://ak1.ostkcdn.com/images/products/P14204782.jpg

nice rug, doesnt look that big tho

I like that rug!!

New comforter. Am in love with the pattern

wow. paisley/paisley-like things are neet!. my rug is too big to fit in a room, so i turned it sideways and now i feel like i sleep in a marakeesh hasharie

How big IS it? I still like it tho I would maybe throw something neutral across part of it to cut the busyness.

put it in a very small room so it covers all surfaces totally surrounding you

this is the rug room you say entering the rug room

as you sit on it, you start to see it creeping up the walls in the corners of your vision

oh damn, that would be cool. i am into (fake) oriental rugs and might start a collection. the new rug is 10.5x12. the room is 12 x 14, but it's got closet cut-outs. it looks neat. all of the trim in my house is dark-stained gumwood, and i've got ecru walls. i'm decorating the room with silver picture frames, mirror, and tomorrow i'm buying midnight-blue velvet drapes.

cue Lou Gramm

many xposts - love the rug!!!

oh my god my new place is so ugly and horrible right now

A work in progress, V! Work in progress. Chin up, man.

probably moving in the next few months myself, it's a never ending adventure

What can I do about the ugly pink accent tile in my bathroom?? The walls are covered floor to ceiling in white subway tile, which is nice, but cutting through the middle of it, is a band of smaller accent tiles in a gross pink. The soap dishes, toilet paper holder, and towel racks are permanent ceramic pieces of the same color. If they were a decent color, they might be pretty cool, but it's such an insipid pink. I'll post a picture later, but is there any obvious solution for overcoming gross color in a rental?

AFAICT, the ceramic fixtures are not cheap shit, and they might be original (the building was a hotel in the early 1900s and I found some stuff about it online that makes it obvious that it is largely unchanged), so I don't want to fuck them up. I have considered replacing the tiles, which is well within my abilities, and would not be too expensive to do right with quality materials, but if I could decorate around them, I would prefer that.

I dunno but I share your pain, my new bathroom is turquoise sponge painted, with pink tiles, plastic fish on the wall and a manky carpet. my last bathroom was the most beautiful one in the world so it's :( until we make this one awesome as well.

Je55e, I have seen similar situations made very much better with clever choice of a really cool shower curtain that plays on the accent tile color just a little bit. Like maybe a really bold black and white graphic fabric that has just a little bit of the pink shot through? This would likely involve a custom curtain, but probably wouldn't break the bank.

Then again, maybe you don't have a tub or for whatever reason a shower curtain is not required?

Or you cold commission elmo to do something kitschy retro chic, just *embrace* the pink in a big way

could, not cold, obv. Sorry, woke up early and am posting to ILX at 4:30 in the morning, FML, etc.

I'd say that in a rental you're probably out of luck, but if the landlord doesn't mind you replacing those..

I don't know if the style/size would match but there are a few (unfortunately pricey) companies making retro tiles that might match, including soap dish/towel bar accessories: http://www.subwaytile.com/elements_accessory.html

If it's just a little running border and you hate it THAT much (I would love a retro pink or green bathroom) then pick another border of some kind and put it over the top. I don't know, use blu tack or some kind of putty that peels off?

Like, I don't know, a strip of grasscloth or something.

i guess you could replace the tiles if allowed to but might run the risk of mixing old and new to poor effect. my instinct is: do not change the tiles! pink, and i think i might have the same pink in my bathroom (tub & toilet), not so bad if you play it up as quincie says. black and white and grey work well somehow to downplay the pink. or maybe i have just gotten used to it...

use mod podge to cover the tiles with a narrow college of decorative naked men

i'm sure you could replace some of the accent tile, but it sounds like some of the tiled-in accessories might be harder to manage? i'd check with the landlord / lease / rental agreement about what i could do but tbh i'm the permission-seeking type. it sounds like the color might be cool, if you know how to work with it, and if it's an accent color you should be coordinate other furnishings to good effect?

as long as the toilet itself is not pink.

it depends on what type of pink we're talking about tbh

Thanks, folks. I am going to try looking at the pink with a new attitude and see if there's something I can do with it.

My little secret: I removed the TP roll holder and tiled over where it was. That fucking thing wasn't just pink, it hung over the bowl - it looked like the toilet was originally farther away from the wall - and I couldn't live with that.

My apartment's bathroom has a blue tub, toilet, sink. Baby blue. Landlord, below, has the all-pink one. Sister lucked out in basement with black & white. Love this cheesy triplex, but thankful I don't have the pink one.

My friend's place had a blue tub! They redid their bathroom a year after moving in, though, and just now they're remodeling the kitchen which was borderline unusable when it came to space. Something about a 50s idea of how you needed a separate dining area from the kitchen, therefore making two tiny spaces.

My grandma's bathroom had a dusty/deep-rose pink, black and white color scheme. She was not at all a fashionable lady so I think this was just the style at the time they bought the house, which was a late 40's/early 50's bungalow. I remember the bathtub was pink, and the floor tiles were pink and black and white.

I remember it being p awesome but it definitely depends on the shade of pink.

Yeh that's the thing b/c, like I said, it's kind of pinksipid. But now I feel like if I put some art or mirrors on the walls it will not be as obtrusive. I'm glad I brought it up.

On another topic, I like this style of day bed/sofa

(Idk if that's huge b/c I'm on my phone, so sorry if it's obnoxious )

new apartment, moving in may 1st! oh boy.

You have three weeks to get settled, then we expect decor pics of new space just fyi.
