House in June Dwell....Focus on the Donut

Gents
You have been very supportive of my posts at www.focusonthedonut.com, and I appreciate that.
I havent been posting much lately, as I ve been finishing up work on my place that was featured in this month's Dwell magazine.
There's a slideshow with more pix as well.

I hope this isnt considered trolling, just thought it may be of interest.
Thanks again.
Peace,
MJ

Looks really great. And I don't think this would be considered trolling.

Nice place, better than most of what is posted. Criticisms, hopefully constructive: A few too many accent walls for my taste and the wood paneling is a little out of control. I am also not crazy about the Stalactite lighting or the picture rail and parallel lighting above it. Also, who leans Raymond Pettibon pieces against each other on a rail?? That method of display is best suited to incidental (for lack of a better word) artwork and family photos.

The room with the Nelson CSS is my favorite.

Oh you're right. It was the same room. I guess I just don't like that accent wall with the 3 other wood colors;.

Yeah. I'd change it to white. I really like the ceiling and the patio out back.

Nice.
Who made your kitchen table?

 

[mfj20th]

The kitchen table is James Perse, as is the couch, chair and ottoman...

If you hate the Pettibon's on the rail, the George Condo picture on the bathroom floor must make you crazy....Peace,

Yes, that is awful, but I don't like him, so shrug.

this is great. the slideshow put your recent awesome shoe purge into perspective. the only footwear I would want is a pair of rainbow sandals

haa, would love to but I take a size 11.5 - 12. Hence the reason why I didnt buy any of your dirt cheap JLs. Let me know if you happen to sell anything in that size
