That light in case you're wondering uses an AR-111 lamp which is extremely precise. It highlights the Buddha which you can't see in this shot. Of course I dig the doormat too.

The Buddha.

Another weird angle... tripod on the ground and me using the remote and trying to not be in the shot.

Here we are at the top of the stairs in the living room. One of my photos there with the spotlight on it.

Right at the top of the stairs is the entrance to our small deck which I'll take you there before heading to the rest of the living room.




Besides additional lighting the only thing that bugs me about the living room is having the TV in it. But the way the floorplan worked out it made the most sense to put it down here. At my last place I just had a stereo in the living room which put less focus on a big TV. We've at least been good about keeping it off when guests are here.

It's hard to do these pendants justice with a photo... they cast amazing colors and shadows at night.

The computer station was another thing I struggled in trying to find a place for. We ended up doing a built in desk here where I imagine the dining room table should have gone.



The Jesus nighlight next to the alcohol is classy.

The powder bath has portraits I've taken of all of my friends. It's one of those things that will get more crowded as the memories grow.


Let's go upstairs...

The geometric pattern has a story.

The view from the top of the stairs. Originally we wanted to paint this hall but due to the high ceilings we would have to have brought in scaffolding to get all the way up there... so we came up with the pattern idea. I hate pure white walls.

The small hall we have out before the bedrooms. The stuff in that vase has been bugging me, but it looked a little weird not having anything in it at all.

One of the bedrooms turned into a stereo listening room. I need to get a couple of nice matching chairs for it.

I love that stereo.


Ken D. and I built those shelves, and they were an enormous pain in the ass to do. The CD collection approaches 1000.

The bathroom in the listening room is the one I use. I originally was going to paint it black like a nightclub, but was talked out of it and went with red. Red turned out to be a huge pain to paint. It's a pretty vibrant crimson which the photo doesn't really show.

The black thing over the door is a speaker. I pretty much have stereos in nearly every room of the house.

The green bedroom. The concept was to do a fade technique from dark to lighter greens. It turned out more striped than we intended... but I still like it.

I sleep on the side closest to the door by the way. So that's where I'm hanging out at night on the laptop while Melissa is passed out next to me.

Melissa's bathroom.

That's it. Thanks for stopping by!

I think I'm most impressed by the yellow color in the kitchen. I usually dislike yellow in kitchens, but that one is EXCEPTIONAL! Way to be amazing!

i usually hate white walls too, more so if they're bare. i'm renting right now, and i'm not allowed to paint, so all my walls are white and i'm filling them up with photos and art, just so they don't feel so empty and...blah.

Love the orange.
And your wee zen deck --- those wooden slats look fantastic.
Did you arrange/lay them yourself?
