Even though I technically made him a cappuccino (half steamed milk, half foam) he said that I made the best latte he’d ever had, except for this little place in Greece. I never bothered to correct him, because I didn’t want to sacrifice the dollar tip he always tossed in the jar.

But this definitely does:
Ms. Manrao has plenty of experience when it comes to setting the mood. After serving as the director of design and brand experience for a group of Starwood Hotels, including the W, the St. Regis and the Luxury Collection, she started her own firm. She knows what quickens the pulse: a bar or a place to have a nightcap, layers of lighting and, most important, a double chaise or an ottoman large enough for “canoodling,” she said.“You need to have places to have sex other than the bed,” she clarified. “I don’t mean to sound brash, but that’s what people want.”In fact, she would approach almost any space, for either couples or single clients, in the same manner, she said, though her design philosophy does seem particularly germane for a divorced client hoping to re-enter the dating world.“I never discuss it with them in these terms, but if you’re transitioning into this lifestyle, this is what you need,” she said. “I try to always get them to let me do their whole bedding package, and do really good down duvets, the whole thing,” she added. “You have a lady friend over — in this age bracket, you should have nice stuff.”

Like other designers with numerous divorced clients, Ms. Manrao has honed insights into what the newly divorced (particularly newly divorced heterosexual men) want and need as they create a new home for themselves.

stupid furniture is probably from restoration hardware and total bullshit
Have I mentioned I hate televisions mounted high on the wall with a fucking passion? I know you are trying to pretend your living room is for socializing and family and group functions but the reality is that everyone is going to watch that tv at some point and I'd like to do it without throwing my neck out

i feel very conflicted abt that "fuck your" blog. conflicted bcuz i hate some of that shit with a passion, yet love the rest even more intensely.
eames rocker and coat rack, nelson bench? fuck yes and forever. <3<3<3 love too terrariums and things organized by color.
otoh, fuck your empty birdcages, frame clusters, luggage stacks, wall decals and cardboard taxidermy = OTM. hate throw pillows on general principle.
something lazy and too cheaply snide abt the site as a whole. no POV, just blanket contempt for fashionable midcentury shit and related doodads.

i like how it flips the script on the way tumblrs like that usually center around "clever captions"
― ⚓ (gr8080), Friday, 10 February 2012 02:25 (twelve years ago) link
Some of the captions are really funny. "that says EAT in your kitchen" for example is an awesome description. I guess that people really do talk about things like a "chair hodgepodge," but that doesn't make using it in a caption any less frikin hilarious either.
I think it has a point to that even the really nice stuff can be just sort of self-consciously designy and obnoxious when in the wrong setting (and in the photos it picks, that's nearly invariably the case).

Not gonna lie, I have recommended Hyatt Place hotels to people entirely because they have a couch and a big rolling ottoman. Bonus of being relatively cheap via Priceline and clean.
