Guest Blogger Buster Barman Is Back

Hi

I am Buster Barman 

my dad is a super famous designer based in NYC

DUH....!

John Barman installed a retractable, floor-to-ceiling door between the previously boxy spaces of his 1,500-square-foot Miami Beach apartment to allow immediate ocean views from every room. In the living area, Barman placed Thonet chairs from the 1950s and vintage accessories.

My daddy is John Barman.

He recently designed our new home in Miami Beach, 

it ended up on the September cover 

of Architectural Digest. 

That's my dad

John Barman, 

 designer extraordinaire!

I think it is spectacular. 

The colors are fun and happy.

Everything is bright and clean.

{i better steer clear of the carpets...or else}

This is where I hang out when my dad is entertaining.

The kitchen.

Occasionally someone looks the other way and I can 

steel a tidbit or two. 

Dad has hidden the sub zero behind cabinetry.

Do you like?

Architectural Digest did!

Another carpet to steer clear of!!!

...but it looks inviting.

Dad raised the ceilings in this room to 15 delicious feet.

How is that for a view?

This is the last room in the house to show you.

It is a combination office/guest room.

Lucky guests huh?

When dad is gone 

I nap on this bed 

and watch the action down on the beach.

Tonight I Am ...

Craving chocolate big time!!!

Unless I get up and get dressed and go to the store,

this will be a s close to chocolate as I will get.

I have been taking it a bit easy on the blogging scene for 2 days now.

I haven't been posting or commenting because

my right eye is red, painful. I have a touch of pink eye.

This is something I get off and on

because of my severe allergies here in South Florida.

I have hot compresses on my eye and and doing the medication thing as well.

xxx's sweet dreams

LETTING GO

Don't worry about losing.  

If it is right, it happens - 

The main thing is not to hurry.  

Nothing good gets away.  

~John Steinbeck, 10 November 1958

Wouldn't this be a good and healthy belief system to hold onto?

do you love this house? 

I do. 

It has been in my files forever 

and I wanted to finally share it.

Great Beds - Built-In

I have always had a thing for built-in beds.

I still want my own.

This one would work just fine for me.

Is this not fabulous???

This is way too sweet for me 

but it solves some problems.

The dresser is under the bed, and if you are tight on space 

or would like to leave room for the kiddos to move around a bit.....

this is a great option

When I finally have a second home in a fabulous place....

I am going to make one of the guest rooms 

with stacked built in beds on both sides.

I knew a woman in NYC who was a single mom.

She had a studio with an alcove {apartment}, 

and she did this in the alcove space for her son.

She slept in the living room.

This woman was very chic....

and managed to pull off her difficult situation beautifully.

This idea is fabulous.

You can make a room where there wasn't one.

If you had a loft....how great could this be???

Do you like BUILT-IN BEDS?

Now THIS PLACE Has Industrial Touches

Most of you know that I love homes made out of

 interesting pre-existing warehouses, churches, mills and factory buildings.

Here is a new one for me.

This is an old train station made into a cottage.

It has really big mechanical thingies in it.

And I think it is 'way cool.'

Now I would have used completely different furnishings

and a completely different kitchen.

But just take a look

and use your own imagination.

I love the gigantic 'thingie' between the dining room and the kitchen.

I would leave it and use fantastic case goods and upholstery.

Seasoned with whimsical antiques.

Think of what fabrics & great area rugs might do.

And lets not leave out both large pieces of art,

 and grouping smaller art would do.

What might you do?

Or would you steer clear of this altogether?
