[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]@9:44. The thing is, with those magnificent architectural 'bones' you could toss just about anything in that room and it would still look gorgeous. The windows, the moulding, the floors, the scale are unusually outstanding.

Real mastery in interior design, IMO, is obvious when you take a standard white box in a 1980s apartment and can make it look stunning.[/quote]

I don't think you [i]could[/i] toss just anything into this room. You couldn't put heavy Belfort/Haverty's crap in there, and I would even like it much less with any kind of traditional treatment because there would be just too much ornament. The original design of this room probably wouldn't have suited my eye at all. The modern furniture and whitening cleans up the space, pares down the unnecessary clutter, and allows the built-in ornament to shine.

There's nothing you can do for a 1980s apartment. You can make it more pleasant, but it can never "shine", unless you replace/add enough details that it's not recognizable as '80s architecture anymore...
