Any idea where he might have gotten the clear picture frames in the last photo? I have a ton of letterpress and screenprinting that I did in college that I'd like to frame but don't want to spend a fortune on mats and frames. That would be the perfect solution.

I loved the one living room, three designers slide show.

How about making them? 2 pieces of plexiglass and 4 nuts and bolts.

You could make the rear piece of plexiglass colored or opaque for a matted effect.

Lignano's studio: Now that's using color!

JonB - that sounds like a good idea! I've never worked with plexiglas. Can you get that at Home Depot or Lowes or something? If not how do you cut it yourself?

pondering the plexi frames here too - what kind of drill bit would you use?

Ikea has clip frames, but the back is opaque. Although if you want an opaque back, they are seriously inexpensive and glass.

Amber,
I've never really worked with plexiglass either. I bet you could cut it with a small circular saw or sabre saw, or you may be able buy pieces cut to size. You could then sand the rough edges.

I'm not in NYC, but that plastics place that Maxwell plugs would be a good place to start. Although HD and Lowes probably have it, and HD typically will make a couple cuts for free, and more for a price.

I could move into Andree Putman's apartment in Spain.. tomorrow. Love it... Love it!

Can anyone ID the chair shown? It looks mid-century Scandinavian, maybe Finn Juhl.

Peace.. Annie

Hey, Annie.

Wish I could help...but I would guess Finn Juhl myself. Hey, saw on your link that you used those acoustical panels from Hightower for a friend. How *do* those install? I'm thinking about trying them out, but am afraid of the self-installation (since I haven't read anything about how to do it).

Thanks!

Annie, which chair are you referring to? In the slide show, a living room chair is id'd as Finn Juhl.

Hi Fiona,

The POP Panels from Hightower are easy to install on a flat wall surface.. ceilings are a little trickier. You just attached a special metal fitting to the wall and then slide the panel into the fitting. You can see the aluminum fittings if you click on the POP Panel website and open a PDF brochure... here is a link to the site:
