#3 Can you walk me through how to post pictures on here?

This and when I search google images or houzz for stuff I come up with so much crap (every random person's ugly before or outdated pics) but EyeCandyOP pics are all lovely (even when I don't love the style choices).
Thanks!

It's by LaCornue! Event though there are seams, I'm not sure it's several lined up side-by-side. They will make them custom and I could see someone with this size place having the means to have one made.

La Cornue, which has been handcrafting ovens for more than a century in the French countryside town of Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône, plays upon that emotional connection by engraving each range with a customer’s family name or crest, and offering customizable features that are completely personal, such as an indoor gardening system or wine cooler that’s integrated into the brand’s island module, ranging from $168,000 to more than $500,000.


As for who they are? A large, family from abroad looking to plunk down money in the US? Super wealthy Mormons? I'm note quite sure. However, Sunshine Daydream is a Greatful Dead reference.

I found an article about the place that just says it was designed for "family gatherings and entertaining."

How about a kitchen with a blank wall, table is up against it but how do you style the blank wall?

There is a lot of money in Montana...


Same Montana house..




I have got to understand that first kitchen photo. Whatever that fancy range is (Lacanche? La Cornue? something beautiful and spendy) it looks like there are three across. Who uses that many ranges? And the house itself looks like it could hold at least twenty people. Is this an actual person's actual house, or something like a ski lodge or a super-spendy rental where extended families get together?

Either way clearly I've made all the wrong choices in life that I'm not in Bozeman living in this house right now.

Another thought for the tiny master. What about using either tall, skinny shelves for your "bedside" pieces or (if the budget allows) having a shelving unit built around the sides and/or top of the window? You could have small lights built into the top or have sconces come out of the sides.

These examples don't have windows, but they sort of show what I'm thinking...

I'm back! I made a username, too.

Typical post war Colonial with windows on two walls, king bed only fits on the window walls due to closets on other walls.


I totally get what you're saying. Some of the ideas I'm seeing:
-wall mounted swing-arm lights to free up space on the tables
-pulling bed way from the wall to give you room to add a storage piece behind it that would give you a surface and/or shelves

Some of these are super designed, but I hope they give you some ideas.

My new favorite thread.
Reminds me of the publicist pp who was so helpful with fashion ideas (DCUM: please don’t run off eye candy pp!).

Not sure about your preferred wood tone, so I'll share some variety. Also see a few pages back, of course.

You might really enjoy Mark D. Sikes' rooms. He LOVES blue and traditional decor. He uses a lot of blue-and-white pottery, too.

I got you. We might like some things in common, so this will be fun!

Be back later with some ideas!


I know we just looked at one, but the 2019 Southern Living house has that palette.

I was just watching a video of a kitchen that might fit. There is a tiny, square window on one wall and then doors at the far end of the space, where the table is. It's essentially a galley. Let me grab a photo. The designer said that keeping any dark colors low is helpful. They removed the uppers, but the cabinets on the left side of the kitchen are deep.

The designer is Linnea Lions.






Some other kitchens without a ton of natural light. I think the amount of lighting in these might be the key. Ceiling, undercabinet, in cabinet, etc.

















Sometimes looking at shelter magazines and sites based in Europe or Asia or ones that are specifically about NYC are really helpful. The average person seems to live a little smaller in those places.




Thank you, thank you!
