apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

this is my favorite entry of the contest, by far.

Mine too. I love the giant art pieces that tie the space together.

Congratulations, one of my favorite enties!

What are you people smoking? This is a circus tent, right? I know that clown car is gonna drive in any minute. Good God, I'm gonna have nightmares.

hahahaha funny....

Rascal--
Check out the thread over on the Chicago site, where it is getting overwhelming glowing praise...

Jesus, Patrick. Don't you have anything better to do?

I think this place is lively, youthful and fun!

Jesus, Brrrrooke, you?

Did it occur to you I wanted Rascal to know he/she was in the minority after making such a crappy remark?

Well, if that's true then I apologize profoundly. Seemed like the obvious conclusion that you were being just as evil. Sorry for assuming the worst.

BFF! XOXO! Smooch, smooch.

Rascal-usually cigarettes, occasionally a cigar and one time that I ruan out of smokes, a pipe full fo butts.

It seemed clear what p2 meant.

That confusion between patrick and brooke is so funny, I laugh x 10,000.

No one said she was wrong.

Hey Patrick -- since when has the majority ever been the authority on taste?!?

Rascal & Patrick, sitting in a tree..

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss! power to the people!

rascal, the people are the authority on taste since, uh, democracy was invented in athens. capitalism sealed the deal. this is a website which sells ads based on the number of hits it gets, and if you think the judges are not aware of that, YOU are smoking something.

Which taste would that be?

Never said the majority was right.

offended--

Sorry you are offended. Sorry you find me rude... I really don't try to be.

For example, I would never say someone's home gave me the creeps.

Purejuice, wake up. "The people" are not the arbiters of taste, not by a a long shot. Style and fashion are anything but democratic; indeed, they are usually the reverse. Tastemakers and trendsetters are commonly small groups (or even individuals) in rarefied heights of artistic endeavor, annointed by critics and followed religiously by the press, the fans, the manufacturers, and ultimately the public. The "majority" doesn't lead the trends, they follow them. And good thing, too--one can only imagine what the state of design would be if the majority actually ruled. We'd see more and more things like...well, like the room above!

Perhaps I am not the right person to respond to Rascal, but I just don't think any of the opinions of/in this particular contest are formulated by trendsetters, as you say. At least that is not what I personally have witnessed in other entries. People seem to be brutally honest thus far, what makes it different with mine? And what, in your opinion, would be the incentive to give praise when no one who's responded knows me or anything about me?

And while I have your attention, Rascal--Why is it so easy for you to be so mean? Did your mother allow you to act that way towards strangers? If you don't like my space, fine. Tell me in a constructive way what you don't like. I am a designer by trade, so I know there are a million ways to tell someone what you think without sounding like a dick. You, and several other readers of this site, should try to learn some etiquette. There is just no need for the meanness.

while i find the style you have chosen too pumped up what offends even more is the outrageous suggestion that some one you call "a dick" should post haste and aquire the very manners you withold.
etiquette, dear lady, starts at home-no matter how many "dicks" you are expecting.
