apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

jeremy's home looks like one in which he lives a happy, contented life. it is lovely.

Looks very comfy - and in a good way.

that is one nice living room -- i love those built-ins.

i agree with other comments. this place does look comfortable, except for that sofa. :) i'm sorry, but when i see sofas like that i can't imagine how people stand them. i need something sink-in-able that's good for wallowing and reading/napping/watching movies on.

Way too cluttered and kitchy for me, but the sofa's nice.

Love the living room, though I have reservations about the books on the mantel. In the fireplace: wonderful. On the mantel-- that signals "mess" to me. Everything else is lovely, though I'm a bit confused about the french doors-- do they close to hide the TV? Or are they just decorative?

It's kind of like living in a time capsule.

I like a lot of what's in this house, but the placement of furniture is odd to me. I think the couch should be pushed back (or moved to where the upholstered chair is) cause it cuts off the fireplace in a weird way.

You know how they say to remove one accessory before you leave the house? Accessory = small table; one = most.

French doors to nowhere? What?

A miniature Rody! I want one!

very cute. except for the mess of wires behind the tv!

I'm totally putting my molecular models from college back out on display! Very cool place.

I also really enjoyed this tour, but also felt the furniture arrangement in the living room was "off", though the pieces are great. I felt like you might work with the symmetry of the fireplace/windows a bit, though I can see you set it up for easy TV viewing. Thanks for the peek!

I LOVE THE PLUS MINUZ ZERO HUMIDIFIER!

I love this actually. Though I do agree that maybe there is some wasted space behind the sofa. I am totally interested in that corner detail in the living room, though, that looks like old built-ins/cabinets.... I also find the imperfections charming. It's a well-worn space, and feels comfortable (if slightly studied, and placed, for the photo shoot).

Love the built-ins and the book-filled fireplace! Mine is filled with records (well, sorta).

HAHAHAHA! That's one way to deal with a draughty fireplace (and who needs one in Long Beach anyway). I sympathize with people with too many books for their space. I like this guy's accent tables. They're great!

Anyone who can carry off rock with a My Little Pony sticker stuck to it must be pretty cool.

Definitely an interior than reflects the charmisma of the owner rather than their adherence to the design rules.

You have some great vintage furniture but I agree with the others that the furniture placement seems a bit off in the living room. Great tour though, thanks for sharing.

I think the space was meant to be comforting to the owner's needs, not what people who refuse to understand a fireplace does not have to be a focal point. Fireplaces are usually overrated - we're not in the 1800's or early 1900's -- there is actual heat in houses and fireplaces have become more of for show or are only there because the house is old.

Unless you use that fireplace almost every night, it's pointless to make it the focal point. The owner clearly would rather watch television than look at a fire - is that really so bad?

lovely.

ChrisGal, I don't think that the room has to revolve entirely around the fireplace, just that it's being actively awkwardly cut off right now. Heck, just push the couch back a foot and a half and it would work for me.

The fireplace doesn't have to be the central focus of the room, but don't entirely ignore it either.

so comfortable, natural, genuine- just my style (you too Jeremy). thanks for the peek.
