The Interior Living Room

The Taliban, Miss California, and The Interior Living Room

Peter Gibson — Mon, 18 May 2009 00:41:59 +0000

Not much gets me overly optimistic these days. The economy has tanked, the Taliban is closing in on Pakistan, and even Ms. California can’t say that marriage belongs to men and women alone – without being tarred and feathered by a very strange and amoral media. Yep, it would seem that the world is going [...]

Can You Decorate Your Morning?

Peter Gibson — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 04:58:26 +0000

Of course you can. Heck, you can decorate a pet ferret if you’re so inclined (look up), although I’d be sending some men in white coats your way if I saw you do it. “Morning rooms” exist, they rock, and in the grand words of my old high school English professor, “‘nuf said on the [...]

I have no words to express how much we’ve lost today. He was truly gifted and he will be missed. RIP Michael.

Happy Happy Daddy Day!!!

I just wanted to send out the ubiquitous Happy Father’s Day salutation that I’m sure you’ve already seen a zillion times on facebook and twitter. So… Happy Father’s Day! I’m spending today playing PS3 with my boy. Today I will win NHL ’09. (He’ll let me, I’m sure) Last year I tried my first (and [...]

Another Interior Living Room Discovery

Peter Gibson — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 20:30:41 +0000

First of all, when I say “discovery”, I am not suggesting for one second that I have just found the next Jason Mraz working at a coffee house, playing Elvis songs. I am simply pointing out that this designer came to my attention from a reader, and since I wasn’t aware of his design prowess, [...]

Give Your Interior Decor An Asian Inspired Design

Peter Gibson — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 10:59:48 +0000

It’s been quite a while since I’ve had time to post on the good old Interior Living Room blog, but only because lately I’ve had quite a time consuming redecorating project on my hands. I wanted to touch on a few areas that relate to this latest project. Being that it’s located in Singapore, the [...]

The Design Illusion and The Satanic Basement

Peter Gibson — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 06:00:59 +0000

I could have named this post “Tips From the DIY Vaults”, or maybe, “Some Do It Yourself Basement Tricks”, but I just watched a rerun of Rosemary’s Baby on HBO and now I’m creeped out. At any rate, here’s the scene … The Basement From Hell [insert scary music]: Do you live right above a [...]

Interior Design That Rocks!

All of the following photos come courtesy of Pangaea Interior Design, located in Portland Oregon. Here is a site and designer after my own heart. I could write a long post describing her talented eye, and wax poetically on the various techniques this designer employs to achieve such stunning results, but it just makes more [...]

Here are some interior living room painting/decorating rules that we live by religiously. Rule #1; “I don’t care how portable your laptop is, you can’t check your email when you’re moving a piano”. If you have found that “eureka!!!” article – either on this site or another decorating/design website – please be kind to your [...]

Einstein’s Theory of Interior Design Trends… I Think…

Peter Gibson — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 06:00:59 +0000

“Imagination is more important than knowledge.” Albert Einstein Having just completed a post about interior design trends, I feel like I should take a minute to qualify some things before everyone runs out to heat their driveway and yank out their spiral staircases and bamboo flooring. Proper interior design and decor is about great ideas, [...]
