You're welcome, @sligo --  good luck with the project.

Overall, I like his aesthetic, though not so much his more contemporary interpretations. I also like to see a loft decorated against type, although the one featured doesn't appear to be all the 'industrial' in the first place.

What a great way of putting that, @stevieb --  "a loft decorated against type".   Exactly!   You've put into words what appealed to me about it.

It must be a giant, multi-leveled loft, since the photos go on, and on.  And interestingly, he did "permit" some industrial type elements to remain in other parts, like the kitchen, and what looks like an upper level bedroom.

I don't think those parts of the loft are as successful though, do you?

Somehow, I think he should have stuck with the more 'ethereal' mood he had going in the living room and other bedroom, and it's more his forte.   You never know though-- maybe his clients wanted at least some of it to have more gritty "authenticity" or something..

@Oznell  Interesting mix. I don't find the latter pictures unappealing, even though certain of the elements (the railings for instance) are not my personal taste. The building, overall, does not speak to me of an industrial type loft, but more of a 'living space over the store' type of thing. I don't care for the kitchen, but the bedroom space has a certain appeal.

Nice to see some color in homes instead of the neutral look in rooms that still seems to be so dominant.

I like the yellow living room with piano, but I admit I'd probably choose a light or dark neutral sofa to offset the yellow walls. I also like the yellow bedroom. The dark furnishings make a nice contrast.

I like the library with the black and white printed sofa with pink pillows. I'd never select that pale green wall color with those furnishings, but it really looks nice and works! I don't like the gold mirror in that room though.
