apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

PLEASE can you get your photographers to shoot from the same position when doing before/afters? It really isn't that hard--but it really IS hard to compare "apples to apples" when the perspective is so different.

Classic. MCM is UGLY!

I love mid century modern :)

Dear Plants --

Why so big?

No Love,

What is it with the leaning of artwork against walls instead of hanging it? Why would someone want to risk the imminent hazard of accidentally scratching the piece of furniture on which the piece is sitting? Don't people want to appreciate the whole artwork, art, matting and frame unobstructed by another piece laying partly on top of it?

Yay! These look different!

Like a mix of both styles, actually, but in this case, the "modern" looks a bit too much like a waiting room in someone's lovely office suite.

Neither space looks livable to me. What is the point of storage of it is all crammed up with other stuff. And I agree with rosenatti... those plants are ridiculous.

I'm not a fan of that particular modern credenza - Looks like a Office Depot special you see posted on Craigslist all the time...
...so in this case, I have to say "Classic"

The classic one looks too cluttered to me. I'm not in love with either one though.

Tough crowd.

John H--

I actually like the layered effect of leaning artwork. To me, it is a key part of integrating a piece of furniture into a room. I do it all the time, and if positioned properly, it does not represent a falling or scratch hazard.

I actually plan for leaning now when I take a piece in to be framed, to plan for ample matting.

PS: I like both looks equally.

classic for me
