2morgen Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I wish I could decorate my house like that, But with two kids and a husband whom just isn't in to the MV style like I am it is a bit hard.But when I dream of winning the lotery (which will be never in real life with the luck we have) I dream of room looking like the one in the pictures of your home and of the pictures of the link below from a dutch decoration tv show. In the picture show you can see how they transformed a room into a MV room.

I'd like to have that look too. I'm not a proffessional, and did it all myself. I have more ideas that I look forward to doing. I love the use of lights.

COOPER&BURNETT Posted April 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I'm still thinking what to do next. I still want more lights, more plants, and perhaps some kind of big modern art statue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cageyJG Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I liked the picture, 2morgen. I would love to have a room that's got so many plants that it becomes dark, like a jungle, then, hidden from view, there's a wicker chair and small stand for a book, pipe and tobacco. Maybe something that makes the sound of running water... However, my whole reason for writing this was to ask if you have one of those ginormous portable phones.

Somewhere you can hide from the stress off today's world.But to answer your question; No I do not own such a portable phone. But I maybe mistaken here but are you not refering to a picture of C&B?

cageyJG Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Hmm... economy of space and the place where I do my best thinking. I like it. That's also where I was going to put up all my glass blocks (like Castillo's office). Now since I'm planning on moving, project's gotta be on hold.

Richie Rich Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Great job on the lighting, Coop. I like how it makes it unnecessary to paint walls that are white. You just leave them with the "base white" shade, and then after dark, you light 'em up, and enjoy the color. Nice . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COOPER&BURNETT Posted April 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 That's a neat way to change your color scheme without all the mess of re-painting! Yep! VICE taught me that!I have about 6 colors that I can change anyway I like. Sometimes, the color works in the day, if the drapes are drawn.

jcm8002204 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Thanks!I plan on adding more strategicly placed lights in the future.LED runs ? Ive seen some really nice controllers for randomizing some of the patterns....Fogged glass panes work very well for that effect....the color change is so slow that you're about 3 swigs into a Lowenbrau before you notice the bar you just placed your bottle on is now GREEN...not YELLOW....and so on...

jcm8002204 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I have nearly 30 cases of Decora Glass Block (8x8x4's), and some sets that are 12x12x4 for a future project...accent wall / bar etc.....About a year ago, Home Depot was closing them out for in-store sale (now sold via special order only at HD) and picked them up for under $2 per blockI've hand-built a few test wall stacks and did the indirect LED light wash effect....very cool.....
