very small bedroom ideas – The Very
An introduction puts the houses in the context of lifestyle trends and highlights their shared characteristics. The Houses section details each project the intentions of the designers and occupants are explained. The result is a very human sensibility that runs through the book, a glimpse of the dreams and aspirations that these unique homes represent and that belies their apparent modesty. The second half of the book is devoted to illustrating the special features in the homes, from storage and kitchen designs to revolutionary skylights and partitions.
Building small can be a sign of higher ambitions, and those who read this book will undoubtedly grow to appreciate that building a small home can be an amazingly positive and creative act, one which can enhance one’s life in surprising ways. In The Very Small Home, Brown has given home owners, designers, and architects a fascinating new collection of ideas.
Small Faces with Rod Stewart
by Wayne Robins
Newsday; Long Island, N.Y.; May 23, 1993
THE PENINSULA Hotel’s presidential suite is not your standard overnight business accommodation, even for Fifth Avenue.
There are three bedrooms, a library, two living rooms, a dining room, two half-bathrooms and three full baths, one with a Jacuzzi big enough for a swim party.
Its 2,500 square feet span the entire block from 55th to 56th Streets. Butler, valet, and housekeepers (who discretely use the suite’s service entrance) are always at the ready. All this is yours for $3,000 a night.
Rod Stewart looks very much at home here.
He has, for the past 20 years, been both a rock star and celebrity whose adventures have been chronicled as much by People as by Rolling Stone.
Stewart has had his moments when he has been thought of as the finest interpretive singer of the rock generation, as well as one of its most important songwriters.
At other times, he’s been dismissed as a playboy more interested in chasing blondes than in his considerable musical gifts, and berated as an underachieving buffoon.
"There was a time in the late 1970s, early ’80s" a question to Stewart begins on a recent afternoon, and before the the sentence is completed, he is ready to cop a plea.
"It was a really bad period," he said. "Though I actually enjoyed it, I must admit I enjoyed it. It’s a period of my life I regret a bit, because I was reading all my own press and believing it. I thought I really was sexy."
Of course, he is sexy, but he’s a little more nonchalant about it. He speaks softly now. He wears a perfectly cut subdued suit, a white shirt with subtle pink embroidery: casual elegance personified.
He wears eyeglasses that give an aura of maturity to a visage once renowned for its rakish leer.
He is beyond all that, he says, but it has taken some work. He knows how easy it is for a reputation to sour.
He’d had it all – critical acclaim and popular adoration – when he moved to Calfornia in the mid-1970s and happily, haplessly, nearly threw it all away.
His low point as an artist may have been the two albums whose sins were defined by their titles: "Blondes Have More Fun" (1978) and "Foolish Behavior" (1980).
"I got a lot of slagging off from rock critics, which I thought I fairly deserved," Stewart said. "I think Greil Marcus in Rolling Stone wrote: `Rod Stewart has got one of the finest instruments, rock and roll voices, of the 20th Century, and he’s completely wasted it.’ I read that and said, `God, he’s so right.’ "
It took some time for Stewart, now 48, to turn the corner and give his gift the focus it deserves.
But his 1991-92 tour showed him ably blending the crowd-pleasing showman side of his personality with the artistic.
And perhaps in a way of getting back to his roots, he is releasing an "Unplugged" album (the concert has been on MTV this month).
It’s not precisely one of those solo acoustic "Unplugged" anti-extravaganzas.
There are 11 musicians crowded on a tiny MTV soundstage.
So while the arrangements are full, there’s no room for Stewart to traipse around kicking soccer balls and shaking what many of his female fans consider the most desirable derriere in show business.
Unplugging is not exactly a novel idea at this point, but it could be as rejuvenating for Stewart as it was for Eric Clapton.
Though the mood is casual, the emphasis is on conveying the emotional nuances of Stewart’s songs.
It also draws heavily on material from what might be called Stewart’s first golden era, that early 1970s period when he established his solo career with the majestic "Maggie May." At the same time he was touring and recording with the Faces, the endearingly sloppy road band on which his grainy, rasping voice was matched to perfect effect with the rambunctiousness of guitarist Ron Wood, bassist Ronnie Lane, keyboard player Ian MacLagan and drummer Kenney Jones.
On the "Unplugged" versions of "Stay With Me," "Every Picture Tells A Story," "Reason To Believe," and others, Stewart and Wood reunite for the first time since the Faces’ mid-’70s demise.
"I knew if I was going to do those songs I had to get Woody involved somehow," Stewart said. "Not only did he play bass and guitar on those records, but his sheer presence brings out something in me."
Five years ago Wood told this newspaper that he had the answer to Stewart’s erratic recordings at that time. The problem, Wood said, was that Rod "stopped writing songs with his old pal here."
Stewart laughs heartily. "I can’t believe he said that!" Stewart said. "It might be true. Five years ago I was in a bit of a lull.
He’s one of those guys who you don’t have to struggle to write songs with.
He can strum anything, I can sing to it.
my art studio
some thoughts about my studio to share with you all:
since i write a lot, and i enjoy getting to know flickr artists and have you know me i wanted to share my studio with you all….and…i love my studio (which i designed myself) and wanted you all to see it.
background: i have always had a studio. when i was very young i painted on the kitchen table (i’m sure we all did…and maybe still do!). in every home we’ve had, i have had a studio. in our first apartment i painted on the floor in the t.v. room. i was more "supple" then, so down on the floor worked for my knees! when we lived in italy and twice in germany our apartments were large enough for me to have my own room for making art. when neal and i first bought our house here (years ago) i was creating 2d art, mostly acrylic painting. i also was a part owner/artist in a gallery on conn. ave (in washington, dc, usa) working in stained glass. since i was cutting glass i needed a hard floor surface (easier to clean up). the downstairs of our house lent itself to this and i was happy there. then off to heidelberg, germany for 12 years. when we returned to the states i was no longer doing stained glass and david (our son) was off at college, so i turned the small upstairs bedroom into my studio and again spent many happy years in that room. but….i out grew the room! i was making many art pieces, acquiring more objects to use in my art, etc. neal and i had renovated our house twice (i did all the design) and now it was time for the third renovation…turn our huge attic, with very high ceilings, into a studio for me (by the way…we renovated another time after that…the kitchen. four renovations in all! i think we are done now).
so..back to the attic renovation: i knew exactly what i wanted……a studio that would look like a (french) artist atelier…..i did the design, found a contractor and viola! my new studio! when i look at it (it stretches across the entire house) i am amazed that i was able to work in the small room below. i removed the ceiling in the small bedroom…now i have a wide open space in part of my studio which affords me access to the window below (since i do not work from nature natural sunlight is not that important to me, but i do like to be able to see the beautiful maple tree that is outside the window. i used the framing for the original attic stairs and made a glass block floor…now i can see down below and light filters up into my studio. the cat was very cautious when she first saw the glass block floor. she wouldn’t walk on it because she didn’t realize that there was a "floor" since she could see down. now she sleeps on it. many folks who come to my studio are also similarly cautious. i always give a demonstration and walk on the glass. i have a small closet at one end with a sink (i ran the plumbing up) so i can wash my brushes. i stained my floor white and used 5" wide oak planking. i know, white in an art studio, what could i be thinking!!!!….but i am looking forward to it aging and getting lots of colorful paint splatters on it. i have built-in shelves and also several stand alone book cases to hold my found object treasures, paint, etc. my table is an old work bench that i found in the trash and painted "bubble gum pink". since my studio ceiling is so high i was able to use the (former) attic stairs and now also have a stand up "upper attic" for camping gear, and various other odds and sods. i insulated the upper attic and the walls. i am warm in the winter and cool in the summer (a ceiling fan also helps). i have sloped walls on three sides of my studio. that adds to the "old studio" look that i like.
i have a lot of "stuff" in my studio that i use in my art. my studio is rather organized, as i would never find anything otherwise. although when i work there is art stuff everywhere. actually neal likes it better when it is messy!
what i like best (aside from everything!) about my studio is location location location! i try to work every day in my studio. the fact that it is just upstairs gives me no slothful lazy excuse to not work. also i can even work without getting dressed (though of course i do dress), i can work in my studio in all sorts of weather…i don’t have to worry about snow, sleet, ice, record heat, etc. and, when i need a break, i can trundle downstairs, go out in my garden, write on my computer to you all, and i can always drop what i’m working on because helena is coming! also i like helena having access to my studio. she is very into projects (she calls herself a "project fairy"). we are often in my studio as she picks out "stuff" to use in her art.
do i mind working "alone"…not in a shared space as some do? no…because when i work i am not alone..i am with myself and my art. i never feel lonely. and if i need feedback, i always ask neal, my biggest fan, what he thinks. i don’t a

The key to his approach is what might be called “The Three Cs “-compact, comfortable, and convenient. Use of space is reconsidered, with easy living always the uppermost goal. A living room is opened up by creating level changes or “joining it with the exterior.” A staircase can double as a chest of drawers, a space beneath the floor can serve as a kitchen pantry or hiding place for a disappearing bed: an adjustable table can serve different purposes at different heights. From top to bottom, in bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and hall, Azby Brown presents solutions to the problems of inner space, illustrated with dozens of full-color photographs, drawings, and architectural plans.
Small Spaces will be a lifesaver for all those with growing families, shrinking resources, and limited room to grow-or indeed anyone who wants to transform a disorganized, cluttered environment into an orderly, attractive living area.
Drawing upon the sparse tranquility of Japanese design, architect and Tokyo resident Azby Brown explains how to live comfortably in limited or overcrowded domains. By rethinking our approach to space, utilizing seemingly dead areas (under-floor or under-stairs storage, for example), creating multipurpose or convertible areas, and reconsidering layout, we can make the most of what we have. Some of these homes carry Eastern minimalism to an extreme that clutter-prone Westerners may not be comfortable with, but there are plenty of ingenious furniture, storage, and planning solutions nevertheless. –Amy Handy
