(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best interior design books

You should design the space as a singleton. You may or may not move items into the next family space?

The photos are really shit. I only know the general feel of the space. It's a lofty conversion with rough walls and a shiny dark floor. You want to DIY. That says Boho to me.

I would start with a bed. In a small space the bed is the sofa as well. But you may want to splurge on one decent arm chair if you're a couch potato.

For the bed look at making a pallet board frame, I would go for something with a little drama, like a four poster bed, but hard to do with pallets, so maybe have it wider than the bed (not longer) or wider on one side like a side table that goes the length where you can stack books? idk.

Paint is your friend. Learn to paint. You can get cheap to free paint at any paint store in the discount/miss-mixed area. Some city recycling centers (toxic waste) will have half cans of paint for free that folks have dropped off.

Try to decide on a color scheme (again tons of advice on this on line) but the easiest is Red, White and Blue. Blue as in turquoise, periwinkle and cool grey, cobalt, baby blue; Red as in Burgundy, Fire engine, pink and some deep corals. It means you can mix and match all the blues with all the reds but absolutely no orange, purple, green or yellow. Plenty of white to balance and complement. Bits of grey or brown is okay. If you are able to stick to that, it's pretty hard to go horribly wrong (but either the red or the blue should dominate the other- 60% neutral, 30% one color, 10% the other), especially when picking out miss-mixed paint.

Spend more time with a glass of wine scouring youtube DIYs and apartment therapy type sites, then you do on NetFlix.

​

Go to thrift stores to get an idea on prices, then haunt Craig's list and yard sales for a better deal. On the last and first days of the month (especially Friday, Saturday and Sunday) drive alleys in affluent rental areas for dumpster dive furniture that you can refurbish.

When shopping thrift furniture, think out to the box, Look at the size and shape, not the surface and intended use; you're going to fix it with paint or refinishing. Others see a useless waste of space in a 1920's buffet with a broken trestle leg. I see it with the legs cut off and the perfect height for a TV stand with storage underneath. (in a small space anything that has a door you can shut for storage is golden). Others see a clumsy chest of drawers with a warped top, I see it with an off-cut of butcher-block from the lumber yard for the top and an addition to my kitchen pantry. I know how to take out a drawer and insert open shelving for a can of soup.

​

If you ever run across a decent, "workable" rug for cheap -realize you have found a golden egg and crack open the piggy bank. I am not talking the skanky, smelly cheap Thrift store Persian carpets that originally came from Walmart, I mean a real rug. So, shop for $5,000 rugs first hand to see what quality means. And if you find a decent rug at Marshall's, wait for it to go on sale. And if you find a great rug for $400 at a yard sale, be ready to snap it up.

​

​

Also remember that curtains aren't always optional, like wearing earnings, but more like going bald or having hair. It depends on the room, and personally nothing says boho to me more than cool textiles, either found, repurposed or hand dyed or embellished with fringe/rick rack, etc. (so scour the notions and sewing sections of thrift shops and yard sales). there are also millions of DIYs on wall art and dying material for curtains and pillows.

Shibori is a live dye, you make it like making bread. Kits are sold on Amazon and at art stores. It can be used for curtains, sheets, pillows, etc. And it's blue.

Tips for Decorating Your Home With Thrift Store Finds


Personally, I hate houzz (pronounced whose), they are greedy, steal ideas and are primarily an advertising/sale site (sure to get down votes from houzze fans). Though occasionally they have good ides. I am not a fan of pinterest, either, also because they steal content and often don't link back to the provider. Thankfully there is still a lot of content on YouTube that they haven't managed to co-opt.



Cheap frames can be had at the thrift shops, The art doesn't matter. Shop frames. You can gut the art, keep the cool mat and insert your own favorite print. Also for a cool frame, you can have a mirror cut to fit at the hardware store.

Good lighting makes a home. You should be aware of three kinds, General (overhead, floor lamps bounced off the ceiling or walls), Task (desk lamp, night stands, end tables) and mood (candles, small lights, sconces, string lights). Lighting a small space makes it feel bigger and Boho is also about interesting and mood lighting. So if you run across a silly little 20 watt snail light (in the shape of); what the heck pick it up and fit it onto a book shelf.

Which reminds me. You can find good cheap furniture, but bookcases are often a little harder to come by, so you can splurge on a Bookcase knowing that a good bookcase will transfer to the next space.

I would start with the larger furnishings, the bed, dresser, desk. And once that's settled you might want to go for a rolling kitchen island, they make them with a drop leaf for seating and a couple of stools.

Another conservator piping in: you might also want to consider if you need anything special in terms of health and safety for display cases where you might put radioactive geological samples (you may or may not do that but 'earth sciences' always makes me think 'ooh, Geiger counter time!').

I'm not American so I can't recommend any training or workshops but there are a good deal of decent books out there to explore:

• Exhibition Design: An Introduction (2nd Edition) by Philip Hughes
  
  
• Creating Exhibitions: Collaboration in the Planning, Development, and Design of Innovative Experiences by Polly McKenna-Cress and Janet Kamien
  
  
• Exhibition Design by David Dernie
  
  
• Museum Exhibition Planning and Design by Elizabeth Bogle
  
  
• Basics Interior Design 02: Exhibition Design by Pam Locker
  
  
• Affordable Exhibition Design by Francesc Zamora
  
  They aren't cheap but you might be able to find some through libraries in your area depending on where you live.
  
  Congratulations, this is an amazing opportunity! Good luck and have fun. :D

My several month old list: Fashion Podcasts and Interviews

-----------------

I've been collecting a few podcasts to listen to in my spare time and came across an enormous amount when searching both on /r/malefashionadvice, /r/malefashion and /r/femalefashionadvice.

I thought it'd be nice to share a few I've found which were interesting and which other people can enjoy.

I know my fashion interests can definitely skew to the boring, so if you have any more suggestions please comment below!

Podcasts & Youtube:

• Dressed podcast run by two fashion historians this weekly podcast explores the incredibly rich and complex history behind the clothes we wear.
  
  
• Stuff you Missed in History Class which is part of the HowStuffWorks podcast network has some great episodes on fashion history, Marie-Antoinette and the first fashion designer Rose Betin. Search 'fashion' for some good hits.
  
  
• The Ultimate Fashion History is run by another fashion historian who produces great original content.
  
  
• Loose Threads this fashion intelligence and analyst company also has a nice podcast which talks about power suiting to product manufacturer.
  
  
• Unravel is done by three alumni of the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) graduate program who take a fresh and more modern approach to their topics. They go in-depth with their podcasts and have nice light hearted tone.

  Others:
  

  
  

• Racked even though they have a lot of fluff articles and have to pull a lot of clickbait stunts the writers over at Racked occasionally write some really insightful articles on topics about garments, the industry or the politics of clothing and fashion.

I can't argue with the notion (heh) of a gift certificate. But some people feel that's a little impersonal.

So here's a couple of ideas in case that doesn't work for you:

• A book on organizing your quilting space (because who doesn't want more organization?), e.g. Dream Sewing Spaces: Design & Organization for Spaces Large & Small.
  
  
• An "art quilt" book. Something that's not so much about "how to do it" but gosh-that's-pretty pictures for inspiration. I find those hard to buy for myself but would love to get them as a gift. I don't know this one personally, but it's in the theme I'm thinking of: Art Quilt Portfolio: People & Portraits: Profiles of Major Artists, Galleries of Inspiring Works.
  
  
• A pair of really really good scissors. Because no matter how many we have, we can always use another pair. Or pretty ones, like these.

• Waikiki Tiki - I'll be honest in saying that I haven't read it. I'll also say that I know the author somewhat and unless you want a lot of boring history about Waikiki, I wouldn't bother. It's not really about the Tiki movement as we mainlanders know it.
  
  
• Tiki Pop: Yes! Get this! It is everything that Waikiki Tiki isn't.
  
  
• Mai-Kai - I know the author of this one very well and know he has spent many many years doing the research and talking to the people who lived the history of the Mai Kai. It is a great book. However, it is very specific to the Mai kai.
  
  
• Tiki Style - This book isn't on your list, but should be. The bible of tiki is Sven Kirsten's Book of Tiki but that's out of print and impossible to find at a decent price now. Tiki Style is the pared version of it and has most of the same information. Mostly they just took out the pictures of topless natives to make it family friendly. This should be the book where you start to get the real history of the mainland tiki culture.
  
  
• Potions of the Caribbean - is a really great book about Caribbean drinks, but you'll find more recipes in the other Beachbum Berry books.
  
  
• Rums of the Eastern Caribbean - is 20 years old and it's likely that a large percentage of the rums listed in it no longer exist. Everyone wants Ed Hamilton to write a new book, but he's a little busy making amazing rum right now. You might try Dave Broom's Rum: The Manual if you want tasting notes on currently available rums. He has a really cool flavor map in the book and it was just released a couple months ago, so everything in it is available. It's worth it just to read his tasting notes of Ron de Jeremy rum.

Have not read it but:

http://www.amazon.com/A5-06-Concise-Hisotry-School/dp/303778413X/

This book is amazing for narrating how Otl Aicher started Ulm, and eventually co-founded the school with Max Bill. Essentially, Ulm was geared toward "designing" a possible way of life out from under WWII. It was a school founded and run by and for the city (design would be at the core of government--how to "design" a functioning post-War Germany). Some of the ideas, like modular housing, carried over from the Bauhaus. Aicher's book, The World as Design encapsulates it: industry, commercial goods, typefaces like Rotis (which Aicher invented), etc., all of it would contribute towards a progressive and humane society.

The predecessor for this was not only the Bauhaus, but prior to that Peter Behrens' work with AEG and all of the Werkbund. For example, see Behrens' famous clocks from 1908 and 1910.

http://www.amazon.com/Otl-Aicher-Markus-Rathgeb/dp/0714843962/

Otl Aicher is absolutely fascinating. If you've read/watched/heard anything about Sophie Scholl or the White Rose, those were, unfortunately, his family friends. The politics behind the Bauhaus and Ulm are absolutely essential.

This is what I meant by you don't seem to have a plan. You have a list of things you like, but it doesn't seem like you're thinking of the space you actually have. Split levels can be very tough and there are relatively few photos on sites like Houzz.

I made a comment to someone else yesterday about the importance of looking through magazines and books. I think magazines are a wash for you because you already have a long list of trends you like. But the book post might be helpful-here is the link. The Lauren Liess book could maybe help you. One of her homes was a split level. This BHG book profiles one split level. Again, split levels are hard to find inspiration on but I think you need to search out homes like yours.

When I was in college (before I went to Interior Design school and got my MIA degree) I splurged on a book called The Magic of Small Spaces. It includes photos and floor plans of a lot of small houses and apartments all over the world, furnished in many different styles. It pretty much inspired me to go to design school, and showed me that you don't have to have a lot of square footage or spend a lot to develop a high-impact design. Other resources: The Domino Book of Decorating and Remodelista. The first is a fun "how-to" for curating/furnishing your own home, the second is by the editors of Remodelista.com. They all definitely include some high-dollar stuff, but also include a lot of IKEA, 2nd hand, and DIY. Hope that helps!

The melding of several disciplines whose common thread is that the subjects/speech communities speak related languages is a sign of how advanced (or less charitably: oversubscribed) Indo-European studies are compared to studies of other languages. For Uralic languages, it's just nowhere close.

You'll probably need to read several books or monographs involving Uralic languages and the speech communities to get some semblance of an answer to your questions about the history of the ancestors of today's Finns, Estonians, Hungarians, Saami, Udmurts et al. It won't be found in a neat package (nor is it necessarily valid to infer that linguistic affinity suggests that the speech communities can be then homogenized or abstracted into some cohesive group - excepting perhaps for speakers of Proto-Uralic, and even then this is tough to gauge).

• Uralic Languages (a reasonably modern survey on all of the languages with some coverage of the history of most of the languages)
  
• The Uralic Languages: Description, History and Foreign Influences (expensive collection of essays on the languages which sometimes touch on non-linguistic aspects)
  
• Early Contacts between Uralic and Indo-European: Linguistic and Archaeological Considerations (this could be up your alley but note that this doesn't consider "Uralic archaeology" on its own merits but rather its contacts with I-E) (you can get probably a certain taste of this book's content in this essay by one of the co-authors of the book, Asko Parpola who isn't a linguist or even focused on Uralistics at all. He's an Indologist (!))
  
  In the end, you might have to go trawling for stuff in academic journals. Try your luck with the following (N.B. not all of the articles in these publications are in English if that's the only language you know):
  
  
• Linguistica Uralica (Estonia)
  
• Suomalais-Ugrilainen Seura (Finland) (several journals published)
  
• Nyelvtudományi Közlemények (Hungary)
  
• Ежегодник финно-угорских исследований (Russia)

Design the house for wheelchair accessibility, and if you don't have expertise in that area, be sure to talk with someone who is dependent on a wheelchair and has lived that way a long time, because there are many little considerations that are not obvious to the rest of us.

Why? Well, of course there's the obvious case of someone in a wheelchair, or someone who's temporarily mobility impaired due to an injury. But you'd be surprised at how much more comfortable an accessible design is for non-wheelchair people as well -- things don't feel crowded, and the space just "flows". It also makes it very easy to move furniture or boxes or even just laundry baskets around. And on top of that, if this is a forever home then not having to deal with stairs/steps on a daily basis will help when you're elderly (not saying you can't have these anywhere, just that you should be able to live on the main level and accomplish all the day-to-day stuff such as cooking, laundry, sleeping, bathing without dealing with steps). And if it's not your forever home, remember that as the Baby Boomers age there's going to be a high demand for housing that has single-level living features and works well for the elderly.

If interested, start with a book like the following -- and it covers much more than wheelchair accessibility (e.g. impaired vision, etc):

The Accessible Home: Designing for All Ages and Abilities
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/1600854915/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_.KEjDbZAWT3ZQ

OK, that out of the way, on to my own personal observations from the houses I've lived in...

Locate stairways at the edge of the house instead of at the core. When future you wants to remodel and has this practically immovable object cutting into the possible floorplan options, you'll say "Geez, I wish I listened to Cyrano back in the day."

Double-sink for the master bath -- definitely. I always thought these were stupid, until I got married and now the wife and I contend for the bathroom sink at bedtime every day.

A mudroom is almost mandatory (the lack of which is one of our two major disappointments with our current place). Make sure the mudroom has access to a bathroom without having to track through the house, for those times you come in from some sort of dirty work outside and need to take care of business or get washed up. Double-points if that bathroom has a shower in it as well.

Kitchen pantry. A bunch of other people said it, but I'll just give my +1 on this.

Avoid having your main kitchen sink on an island. Our friends hate theirs because the island always ends up piled with dishes and just being an ugly mess that you can't easily ignore, while simultaneously being the spot that everyone wants to gather around and visit.

I agree wholeheartedly with what others have said about isolating bedrooms from the noise of the rest of the house, and with making sure that bedrooms are designed so that you can have actual sensible bed/furniture layouts in them.

Design multiple levels so they can be thermally isolated from each other (e.g. doors at the bottom or top of stairs). It sucks big time once you realize that cold air sinks and warm air rises, so your house is never comfortable everywhere. But this problem also has a lot to do with HVAC design -- so research and plan HVAC carefully rather than letting the HVAC company just run stuff wherever looks good to them.

Plan for change. Avoid load bearing walls as much as possible, so you can modify things in the future if you want. Get a larger electrical service than you need now, in case 90% of people are using electric cars in the future and need to charge them overnight in their garage. That sort of stuff.

Consider reading Sarah Susanka's book series on "The Not So Big House", and take the principles she lays out into your design. She focuses a bit too much on Scandinavian influences for my taste, but her concept of "shelter around activity" if applied to any style of house will have a huge impact on how cozy and comfortable your home feels.

Cajun and Creole are honestly the best foods in the South. This guy mixes them all up with other traditional Southern cuisine. His cookbooks have loads more recipes and better ones in some cases.

http://www.jfolse.com/newfindrecipe.htm

Past that, Charleston Receipts, Charleston Receipts Repeats, 'Pon Top Edisto Cookin' 'Tweenst the Rivers, Sea Island Seasons, and Southern Living cookbooks were a staple in my house. Kind of still are really.

Your problem is typical, and is only solved by more reading, and more learning. The first papers I read were insanely painful. Heck, some still are.

But, I will second reading reviews. They're a great way to look at information.

Also, I'd stick w/ trying to understand the abstract and introduction only for now. Once you have a handle on what he is studying, and maybe a bit of the math, then start to delve in.

If you are not a math student, he won't expect you to know the math as much. But, get as strong a background on the biology of the systems he's working on now. Talk w/ him about the biology, and ask him how you can best prepare for the course. Showing this advance interest is an amazing way to start off right w/ most professors. If he has any grad students, try to leech information off of them...

Oh, he seems to deal w/ oscillating systems a lot judging by his CV (if http://plone.scottsdalecc.edu/nagy/docs/JohnNagy.CV.pdf is correct). I'd ask about getting a book like http://www.amazon.com/Differential-Equations-Demystified-Steven-Krantz/dp/0071440259/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1266897665&sr=1-5 as well. The oscillating systems he deals w/ are often modeled w/ diff. eqs. (assuming you don't know this stuff already...I dunno).
