Not so much 'proud of', but there are some that fascinate me more than others.

My bedroom a couple years ago. I really love kaleidoscope projectors and oil projectors. I couldn't take the oil projector (mathmos brand) with me on the last move (AU>US different voltage) so I'm in the market for a new one. Currently thinking about something from optifanatics.

Edit: Just watched the video again for the first time in a while and forgot one of my other favorites, this "Laser Star", though I've seen it under different brands. It has two separate lights, one for a blue space nebula, and another for green laser stars that slowly orbit. You can have one or the other or both on. Also, there is a bit of fog in the room so the laser beams would be more visible, I use the Antari F-1 Fazer for this.

Edit 2: there's a bunch of groovy lights for camping and such too. Check out ENO(eagles nest outfitters) for a couple options. Their lava lamp is impressive.

Decals are the best. I got a really great on in my bedroom in my last place because and it looked great. This is the one I got: Flower Decals for Nursery, Living Room, Bedroom, Girls Room, Kids Room. 100" x 29" (Black). Edge Wall Decal. Removable Wall Decal Sticker. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002UP9POU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_2XEYDb7KEVY4M

I am currently reading;

• The Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey
  
  
• American Gods by Neil Gaiman
  
  
• The Secret Life of Violet Grant by Beatriz Williams
  
  
• The Adventures of Theodore Roosevelt by Theodore Roosevelt (edited by Anthony Brandt)
  
  
  
  
  I read books like most people watch TV shows (switching from one to another) so I usually am reading 3-6 books at a time. The first two in my list are both books I am rereading and I would always recommend them if you have never read them. The Secret Life of Violet Grant is actually much better than I was expecting and I would totally recommend it if you enjoy period fiction (it jumps back and forward between Kennedy-era Manhattan and World War I Europe).
  
  I have read "The Alchemist" before, but it's been a couple years, I remember liking it.
  
  

We have two of these. Both have worked great for well over a year.

K&H Manufacturing Thermo-Kitty Mat Mocha 12.5-Inch by 25-Inch 6 Watts https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000S9M2U4/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_yrjlzb5SN3PAX

I love [ hobbit holes ] (http://www.amazon.com/Home-Sweet-Hole-Feasible-Fantasy/dp/148408554X)

I’ve heard good things about this. It has a Bluetooth option too. You can get really good quality turntables second-hand too for a good price if you look around, but you will need to buy the full amplifier, Speaker and cables to go with it

Thank you! The lights are from this kit I got when I was a kid: https://www.amazon.com/Klutz-2201-Room-Lanterns-Kit/dp/B000BXJTFI

It's a project book.

So I ended up going on an Internet dive because I’ve been on an architecture kick lately. “How to build Japanese without looking like a weeb” was an interesting topic.

This book looks really promising though I haven’t read it. I think you can probably apply a lot of the proportions and materials to a Western style home.

French doors instead of paper screens. While clearly traditional, this interior doesn’t require a traditional Japanese exterior. From the outside, that window configuration could be any American sunroom.

And I think that a U-shaped house plan would do miracles, since you could have a fairly inconspicuous ranch exterior but stick a Japanese garden in the center courtyard, with all interior spaces open to it.

God dammit !

You know, I don't really track such things on reddit so much, but the Congress for New Urbanism (CNU) is sort of a hub for these things.

For years I didn't really have words or terms to go with my sentiment regarding our built environments, but reading first Suburban Nation: The Rise of Sprawl and the Death of the American Dream and then ["The Geography of Nowhere: The Rise and Decline of America's Man-Made Environment] (https://www.amazon.com/Geography-Nowhere-Americas-Man-Made-Landscape/dp/0671888250) were wonderfully informative and encompassing on the topic.

Check out James Howard Kunstler's TED talk, you'll probably laugh and feel sad in equal parts.

It's incredible how wide reaching the effects are of our built environment, and in the United States, it's mostly negative.

Tough call! I'd say Grunt by Mary Roach. My wife will probably say A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry.

Hey, so awesome to see that you have my book there!

Wishful thinking?

OP said it's also a mini bar! I think this one is probably the same/ close.

I don't have a picture in brighter lighting unfortunately! However I did find out that it's from the brand "Xhilaration" and I think they sell solely at Target. The name of the pattern is Eclectic. Here is a better picture, but I'm not sure if they sell it anywhere anymore :/
