10. The red/off-white contrast in #3 isn't bad... |
|
..except for the taste in furniture. Then again, I like high-contrast environments -- right now my apartment is all white paint and dark brown mock oak trim/doors/floors, etc. Bright colours in moderation are great in large spaces -- one of the best places I ever lived, in terms of decor, had a living room that was white with electric blue, with sun-and-moon wallpaper in the built-in bookcase segments on the walls (as in #3). Neat. In my apartment in Cambridge, I also had bright colours, and I liked it just fine. (Camb. apt. was what the rental mags describe as "European," generally. :) )

11. Thr Gobbler Motel & Supper Club ~ |

"See how the stereo speakers are set 19 feet apart in a room 10 feet deep? When the Pink Floyd song bounces from one speaker to the other, it practically has to rest halfway through the journey.
Ever seen a video where a panda morphs into a sofa? Right here we have the absolute middle frame of that animation sequence."Let's Go Gobblin' ~http://www.lileks.com/institute/motel/index.html

Back in the mid 1970's, my family went there, to the restaurant.
My sisters and I, and then my parents and the rest of us toured the hotel.
We were laughing so hard by the end of the tour, we nearly all had our sides aching.
GAWD, was that place awful!
It looked like Austin Powers and Dr Evil had got together to design a hotel. :-)
The place burned down last year, though. :-(

The rug in the second-to-last picture is particularly frightening. How could a person sleep in a house with floorcovering that might eat them?
I must confess to a guilty liking for the living room in picture #2, though - it's kind of neat-o, daddy-o.
