apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

beautiful space!!

that large painting looks very familiar... who is the artist?

This is an amazing space and it really shows how creativity can change a room without a huge amount of money. After a hiatus, I am rediscovering the joys of thrift stores - so much cooler than many chains. I am writing about that this week.

When design takes priority, the result is often strange closets.

closertotheocean: Having read the article, I think it is safe to assume that the painting is one by the owner, Mark Beard.

sorry i didn't read the article first... i was so excited by the pictures! but after reading that and doing a little research on the web, i still can't figure out why they look so familiar...

Abercrombie and Fitch uses that same artist in their flagship stores.

the large painting looks strangely like the cover art for the latest A&F Quarterly with it's semi-nude athletic men. just a guess, but that's what came to me instantly.

reading about the A&F connection, you'd think that'd be it... but i'm in boston, and can't remember the last time i walked by a flagship store while out of town, or the last time i saw their quarterly... hmmmm. oh well, a mystery it shall remain!

ok this is my dream, when can i move in?

How do you do this?? I'm so impressed by people who can design on a budget. I keep trying to do this...but somehow I end up spending way too much money. Then again he is an artist.

I just can't get over the fact that there's a gay guy named Mr Beard. Hee hee hee!
