So I'm being visited by the insomnia fairy. I saw this house in the NYT. I love the design. I adore the plot of land. But the way the giant cavernous interior room is being used, particularly with things stuffed in the alcoves? Does it look like a furniture showroom to anyone else?
Cacophony. That's pretty. What's it mean?

Holy cow! That is fantabulous!
Yes.
(I want that dress!)
Oh, yes

Yes.
Part of it, too, is the overwhelming use of white with the punches of color in the alcoves. It's too stark a contrast, I think and everything is so linearly arranged.
But dang, the land it sits on is purdy!

My friend's live just down the road from that house! Their house was not 1.6 mill, however. I looked at the pictures thinking "If my house was being featured in the NYT, I would hire a interior designer."

Yes. But they always stage it that way. My uncle and aunt's house was in Architectural Digest and the basically came in and re-arranged/re-dressed everything to their liking.

I wouldn't kick that house out of bed for eating crackers, no matter how it's staged. Anyway, it's supposed to look like a barn, with a big central area and, well, stalls.

Well I know they usually look like an upscale furniture store.
But with everything facing one direction (towards the camera head on) it doesn't even look like a nice furniture store.... more like a Levitz Outlet.
It's a cool house, but the staging on it is really ugly.

Does anyone who does NOT currently have Netflix want a free month? I have coupons to send out.
ION - I am cleaning out the desks of laid off co-workers. unfun.

Oh, that's a sucky task.
(The two times I've been laid off, I got let back in to clean out my own desk, which unfortunately because I'm a packrat was a major task.... But at least nobody else had to do it.)

Well 2 of these people were consultants, so they had 2 weeks warning actually, it's just all the office supplies and ketchup packets and assorted crud they left.
I am stopping with what I have already done though, at least for today. There is another person who has been laid off and their last day is today - the 2 desk I need to clear out are right beside her and that just feels a wee insensitive.
