That apartment...just no.  The floor to ceiling black-framed windows, the lack of architectural detail, white walls, bland fireplace all scream for industrial, modern or mid-century modern.  Certainly not rustic.  Looks ridiculous.  Liked the Eames chair and the quilt, though.

Totally agree. I live rural on acreage.

This looks like a designer in LA who hasn't seen a tree in years went to Pottery Barn.

I think the designer did a fairly good job of creating a rustic, traditional look mixed in with modern elements.  It's not something I would do, personally, because I don't care for mixed styles and am not fond of traditional or rustic decor anyway.  However, if that's how you choose to decorate your apartment in a high-rise in LA, go for it.

I like some of the furnishings. I just don't think the furnishings go with the modern space. JMO. Yes, we all can and should decorate our homes however we want.

@Oznell  You are right! Things DO get changed around. I liked how she put the greenery on top of the chest amid the jars-but when I saw the long shot the greenery was gone.! LOL

I thought about why they would do this. Country in the city. All I could come up with was they love the city and its views, but had always wanted a country home. Instead of giving up one for the other they compromised! Works for me.

@ECBG My DH and I both have a fear of heights! I can look out in the distance, but not down. He can't do either. I think I would be ok if the window sill was about waist high. I'm not a fan of long windows. ESPECIALLY not with children. It would make me crazy.  

All this being said, I liked it.

I can't do any of it.  My stomach churns; no idea why.  I have stayed in high rise hotels at conference with no issue.  I only looked out, never down.

Oh, yes, @ECBG , I know I'd be building short pony walls at the bottom of windows for a feeling of more safety!   Funny-- in the past, many highrises, even ones with fab views, used to do that.  They wouldn't have windows right to the floor.

I suppose they think, with advances in glass and construction, that there's no need to worry-- but they're wrong!  As anyone with vertigo or fear of heights could tell them.  It's the idea, as much as anything...
