    Boring color scheme, but I like the sofa-thing, and especially the table on wheels!

    • Emerald63 says:

      The moment I saw that cart I flashed on a scene from some movie, where the slow squeaking of the wheels as the cart is pushed is the only sound. Might be the final scene of “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” where the Ark has been crated up and is being wheeled into the depths of the vast warehouse, which, oddly enough, is waaay more visually interesting than this place.

    I can fix that! Hang on a sec while I get my paints and markers…

  3. What’s up with the topless person in underwear holding a horizontal stack of books or whatever that is on the opposite wall?

    Is it art? A mirror reflecting the topless underwear-clad photographer? Am I hallucinating?

    • Emerald63 says:

      Not hallucinating… Looks to me like a large scale photo of a boy in his underwear. Very odd… Went to see if I could find a different/bigger/better image but instead found…

      Oh Geeze, Oh Geeze, Oh Geeze…. there’s actually MORE where this came from? (More what? How do you multiply 0?) There’s a whole series of white room photos here: http://whatwilsonwants.blogspot.com/2012/02/warm-wintery-white-homes.html. No better image of the one above, but ohhh, the irony – it’s photo 7 of 9. Trek fans will see the utter sense in this. There’s a similar style photo in 6 of 9, the sort of over-scaled self-indulgent portrait that rich parents have taken of their kids. Having seen it, I have to wonder if the photo in #7 is the boy holding the same baby. Hard to tell.

      All I can say is that the Clorox company is gonna… clean up… on the needs of this homeowner.

    It gives me that warm Hospital feel.

    This is tailor-made to encourage preschool self-defenestration.

    * claxon sounds incessantly *

    WARNING!

    Rod over-stimulation imminent! Rod over-stimulation imminent! Immediate stimulation of cones required to prevent permanent insanity!

    WARNING!

    This has been a public service announcement, brought to you by the surviving viewers of George Lucas’s first film, “THX 1138.”

    The perfect home for the color-blind…perhaps. :-|

  8. Lynne Larson says:

    One must hope there is a lovely view (NOT of snowy fields).

    Get a good old floor fan and take off the cage. Paint each blade a different colour nice and thick. Turn on while the paint is wet. Set on oscillate. As the paint dries, repaint the blades and turn the fan to create a more even distribution. the room will look GREAT!

    • Karen says:

      I love it! :-)

    • Emerald63 says:

      Not only a very cool idea, yolanda, but it reminded me of something I haven’t thought about in *decades.* When I was in elementary school the art teacher would take an old, inexpensive phonograph, secure a square of pasteboard to it, hit the on switch and let us go at it with squirt bottles of tempera paint. Instant – and fun – “modern” art.

      Wow… what a great memroy! And now you’ve added the phenomenal addition of 3D to the mix! WOOT!!

  10. anodean says:

    Actually, the photo seems to have been slightly color shifted.Sort of bluish, isn’t it?

    The reason I point that out is that solid, true-white flooring is highly unlikely, even from any given maker’s special-order hoo-hoo line of this year’s oh-so-up-and-coming urban decorators’ latest whims. Really. I wanted some once, long story.

    • Emerald63 says:

      I hadn’t noticed it before, but now that you mention it… The floor looks like it might be high quality marble or other white stone. Either that or a marble printed man-made substance. Might also be a white stained wood. If so, maybe in person the room has a bit more visual interest to it.

      It’s hard to tell in photos whether that “color shift” is in the surface treatments or in the lighting – or both.

    “In a white room, with black curtains, near the station.”

    All those pads constituting the “sofa” would have to be picked up every time the floor was cleaned. Which would be daily since every particle of dust would show. All white does not equal simplicity.

  12. phantagrae says:

    How low to the floor is that sofa-ish thing? It hurts my knees just looking at it. I’m too old to sit that close to the floor.

  13. jcdevildog says:

    “This room? Oh, this is our morgue. Yes, all the best people have one these days: can’t leave those messy corpses in the bedroom or billiard room, and certainly not the loo!”

  14. Psychethos says:

    Oh lord I would have died of anxiety going into this room as a 12 year old having just got my first period.
