According to my calculations using the measurements in the floorplan, this space is 663.8 sf, so it is over the size limit
Subtract the stairway space, which is outside the apartment.
Methinks you've been drinking too much Courvoisier.
I really don't like this space at all. It's too cluttered and the decor does not maximize the potential of the space. Bed is awkwardly placed and looms in the middle of the room. I think this person should consult an interior designer to sort it all out.
puhlease!!!!! your space is nice, but i seriously doubt you get that much action.
tone it down, horn dog.
i would do you with that apt. i think it is perfectly set up for what you want. and i love the red couch, the flat screen at the end of the bed - i love it all. it might be more cluttered then other entries but also loks to me to be the one that I most want to hang out in and have a few drinks.
Frank, oops, my bad. Thanks for pointing out my error.
I would definitely do you too.
This isn't too cluttered. There's a good balance of showing items of personal taste (art books, decorative objects) and of having space to navigate the different living areas.
Is there a skylight there? Beautiful, high ceiling.
I like the arrangement of the globe light pendants and the living area, in general (the placement of the coffee table at a diagonal to the sofa seems a bit precious).
The bedroom area looks like it'd be nice and dark for sleeping in (or doing decadent things), but it sucks all the light out of the space. What is that right "wall" thing? It looks like it could be copper, but there's lights glowing through it, so is it glass? It's beautiful.
For my personal taste, overall, everything's a bit too dark brown/black, red, and severe-looking. Those kitchen stools look so glam and uncomfortable. However, I do like the confidence you show in your choices and arrangement. I also like that you didn't hang anything over the sofa and just left that wall bare.
It's definitely very male, urbane bachelor and expensive-looking. Almost a bit eighties, early-nineties European sensibility. Those spotlights along the wall are too cold and harsh, gallery-ish.
I'm not trying to be a party pooper here, but B is right. Do the math yourself. The extra work room pushes this floorplan past 650. Great space? Yes. Under 650? Does it comply with the contest rules? No.
LOL. Design is about getting laid! (I used to refer to my post-break-up studio in a high-rise as "the bachelor f***-pad".) This space is fantastic. Loving the mix of textures and colors going on. Clever lighting solutions that preserve the integrity of the beamed ceilings. Yeah, I'll do you too, Jaime.
Me too.
Scratch that comment. Staircase. I'm still not sure it's under 650, but it's close I guess.
Doesn't look cluttered - just looks like somebody actually lives there. I could do without the awful flowers though.
Nobody wants to do Felix Unger.
Here's what I love:
1. The ceiling.
2. The kitchen island with the lights above.
3. The black chairs.
4. The big drape at the end of the bed.
5. The bed used as a divider. I think it works really well.
Here's what I dislike:
1. The red sofa. I like a red sofa, but I don't like that one in particular.
2. The pillows on the red sofa.
3. The flowers in the vase between the black chairs.
4. The wall to the side of the bed with the console table covered in pictures. It does feel a little cluttered since it's so close to the table behind the bed. I would have put the big red painting there.
5. The big red painting.
Love it. Love the colors. Love the materials. Love the look.
If I lived here, the only change I would make is to clear the surfaces and put the pics on the wall, and books on some sleek minmal shelving.
Keep the stuff, just keep the table surfaces clear.
Okay -- I was so obsessive that I did the math on a spreadsheet. With the work space but minus the staircase, the total square footage is about 633.65 feet. It's under the 650 limit.
I love it. I would also do you. :) It actually looks like someone lives here, which is refreshing.
I love it. I think it is a great mix of cool and homey. I espcially covet the kitchen island and the lighting above.
For some reason, the last picture makes me feel claustrophobic, though. It might be the lighting or just taking it all in.
Nice to see more DC entries. The place does seem a bit cluttered (but I'm not one to talk), and a bit dark, but I too love the ceiling. I've got a question, through. I recognize the familiar old joists and rafters of a DC townhouse roof. And the description suggests there's a skylight (and I think I can just see where it is), so I'm kind of assuming this is the top floor. If so, where's the frickin insulation? Normally, it would be between the rafters and roof joists, or at least laid in between the roof joists. Is there another floor above you, or is this place an icebox in winter (and an oven in summer)?
C'mon...I don't think you guys are being fair.
To begin with...this is far from a great apartment. In fact, it's pretty crappy. Look at the size of the front windows!!! And there's no window behind the other curtains!!!
And in spite of that, in spite of the total lack of inspirational bones (except for the ceiling, although it could easily be too oppressive), Jaime has managed to make it something special. The globe lights are fantastic.
I really like the kitchen area. I like that stove, sink, etc. are hidden behind the bar. The red painting is great. It's a pretty cool space. All your 'action' talk makes me curious to judge you superficially.
Speak for yourself, littledebbiet!
the living room and kitchen are great, but what happened to the bedroom? I guess this date's not going to have a happy ending?

I totally dig it. That big splash of art in the otherwise minimal kitchen is a great look. The bed looks awfully high though (like an altar?) Nice balance of light and dark with hits of color. Gor for tiger lilies next time though - the orange would look better :)
Wende, I think you just saved a lot of us from taking out our calculators. Keep that spreadsheet accessible for future entries.
I don't get "cluttered" from this (and echo Ruth on another thread: "There's no pleasing you people" regards to "stuff = cluttered", and "no stuff = no one lives there, or if they do they are cold-hearted and anal-retentive. Or lying, with their stuff piled just out of camera range"...).
But something about the reds, slickness of material and black leather/black finishes is not jiving with the raw elements of the space for me.
I could see this being REALLY amazing by taking more cues from the space itself, and going much more modern organic/Kelly Hoppen. Still "layable", still masculine, but a little fresher. And not quite so Swingers. Or American Psycho.
I agree about the flowers.. not that you shouldn't have 'em, but they need to be bolder, more architectural. Unless these are left-over bridesmaids bouquets, you wedding crasher, you.
But if it's getting you laid as is, and you like with whom, then don't change a thing. :)
And as far as "doing him," what size Gucci loafer we talkin'?
The bed's behind the black wall. It's a studio that's been separated into different spaces.
I think design is about getting laid without looking like you're trying. That last picture just looks like he's trying to hard. I kind of like this space but there's something off-putting about it.
i love this pad and the fact it's date ready (naughty). at night you would want your place to look warm and soft. the last pic made me think of barry white's 'ecstacy' playing and those wall lights flashing.
It is a little cheesey 90's contemporary, but the space is arranged very well. The scale of the furniture and the way it coordinates creates a thoughtful, coordinated design, but the red leather and black laquer motif definately betrays this person's intention without reflecting much personality.
Interesting space and very different for DC. I, too, am wondering about the ceiling...It seems very exposed! I really like the kitchen and sleeping areas though, nice job!
Also, where did you get the spotlights? I've been looking for something similar, but smaller.
god, i love those globe lights.
the problem here is a less a design problem than it is a planning problem.
the interiority of the living space is scary... feelngs of claustrophobia are inhanced by the high counter of the kitchen on one side and the bedhead back wall on the other.
it would be a much better plan if the kitchen was located in the middle of the space and the living area was up against the window... providing that was an option, and it probably was.
...the bed orientation scares me too. a lot. flip it please, and put up against the other wall, or something.
This is really lovely. I do think that with that much square footage you can afford to have a divider between the living and bedroom areas. I actually think you are less likely to get laid if your bedroom is out in the open like that - at least if you're trying to lay women - not sure about how a guy would react.
Whoever doesn't like the red couch is smoking crack ;)
I agree the framed pictures could be spaced out better. maybe hang some up on the wall and have others resting on the console table. It does look a bit cluttered there.
As to the rest of the place, i disagree about it being cluttered. I think it strikes a good balance. It's very cosy, but also very modern looking.
I think the potential of this space isn't fully realized because of the placement of the bed. I agree with others that with such a large space, you could really mock up a separate bedroom.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the fact that the rear window (on the wall by the bed) is COVERED UP- that's what bothers me most about the apartment.
Cluttered? I'd call this one "just right" on amount of stuff. There are normal things needed to get through the day (and places to put/hide normal things), plus a handful of objets chosen to punctuate the design.
(Now, the super-minimalist room with wooden bowls on the floor -- that's what I call clutter. One shouldn't trip over one's objets d'art, unless one collects shoes, and probably not even then.)
I totally concur with everything p(too) said, thus proving that my taste is not hopeless after all.
This is a great space. It's not cluttered, it's got a nice amount of thoughtful things. Clutter is having a bunch of crap laying around and stuffed away. There is a happy median between the pack-rats and the "I have one lamp and it is all I need because it's the Platonic ideal of a lamp. And one set of dinner ware because no one ever comes over." crowd.
This space is hot. But all the real ladies men have projectors with hidden screens. Hide that TV and put a projector on your ceiling. Then have the screen lower down when you hit a button.
Oh and the globe lights are fab - as is the red painting. very dramatic.
After some consideration, I would flip the bed around against the other wall in front of the curtains, and put some kind of divider between the living and bedroom area. In the best of all possible worlds, i would incorporate the t.v. into the room divider on a swivel stand so it could be viewed from both the bedroom and living room (not my original idea - it was done in one of the other entries).
The only thing I like are the rafter beams on the ceiling, probably because all I can think about on this horrible, horrible day is godamned hanging myself.
The bed is behind a high headboard/divider so its not readily visible from the living area though you might want to screen it slightly more if you can see it from the entry door. Not sure but is that a giant flat panel TV at the foot of the bed? There are a lot of things I like about this space especially the red couch.
I love those ceilings!
With the obsessive attention to detail typically displayed by the readers here, I can't believe no one has commented yet on the mirror being moved into the "sleeping" area in the date-ready picture!
OK, as one of the people who used the word "cluttered," I should correct myself. That's the wrong word. It's not cluttered in the sense of having too many trinkets or knick knacks (or dirty clothes or garbage) around. It just feels crowded somehow -- a little closed in, but not exactly cozy either. One reason seems to be that it's pretty dark (not just having windows only in front, but the dark ceiling and headboard contribute to this as well). Maybe that explains it. Still, this is one of the largest entries (as indicated by the debate over whether Jaime has been doping his apartment, and the ruling by officials that no banned substances were present in its bloodstream), but somehow doesn't feel open and large. It's still a nice place, though -- and I'm pretty sure Jaime's 650 sf costs less than those 300-footers in Chelsea and the Village. DC's gotten crazy expensive, but it's still kind of a bargain.
Umm, okay then. I like the globe lights and the vibrant red piece of work you have up.
But, if you believe that design is only about getting laid, then I feel very, very sad for you.
You guys are great!! I love reading your comments. Thanks, Lorne from Nashville
HAHA I thought I was the only one who caught the mirror, but then I thought perhaps there are two mirrors.
Liking the kitchen a LOT. Great layout, perfect for an open plan like this. I have kitchen layout envy. The colors are right up my alley, too.
Re: the lighting, the globes get an A+. The gallery lighting is being underutilized. It's generally advised with halogen fixtures like that to light 'things' not 'space'. There's some cool looking things on those shelves by the bed, give em their chance in the spotlight. Angle them down a bit more to reduce that hotspot 'what used to be there on the wall' look.
The bed with the TV at the end--awesome. I have a similar setup but mine is a 15" LCD on the wall. My main TV is in the living room area. It's funny last night Sex and the City was on, and I noticed that when Samantha has the girls over, they watch TV on the bed.
What material are the floors and that wall with the bathroom door on it?
Elaine, he doesn't need your sadness, he's getting laid like no tomorrow! You know what you need to cheer yourself up? A visit to Jaime's Fortress of Sexitude.
/I kid because I love
I'd like to see the "work" area -- is it an enclosed porch? What is nice about the "cook" area is that it is so unobtrusive, not a high priority driving the design. Is everything stored in the pantry, then? Did the present owner build that closet, and out of what? The walls just seem to glow.
but i disagree, the layout doesn't work very well at all. sadly jaimie is only going to get laid by the women (or men) that are spacially impaired, insensitive or those that wear glasses that have milk bottle bottoms for lenses.!!!
i like the design of the apartment, generally speaking. its pad enough to get laid, but the planning is fundamentally arse backwards. sorry
Does no one here appreciate irony or hyperbole?
Don't love the layout, but I can't get those black chairs out of my mind. Out of all the things to have sex with in this apartment, I would probably choose those.
Any idea where I can get some of my own...?
yes, i am sure many of us appreciate irony, and hyperbole.
what do you think is hyperbolic or ironic about this pad? i am curious. based on what i see here, i suspect jamie is taking his desire to get laid very seriously.
"Does no one here appreciate irony or hyperbole"
jonathan has told us he does.
Yeah, I don't get the question, either... what made you ask, NT?
I like that the tv is not in the seating area. Too distracting when company is over. But I hope the stereo is in the seating area somewhere.
Interesting that the bed is not in the bedroom. I think most people would consider that extra work room a bedroom. But you don't want to be fumbling with doors or navigating to another room when the action starts!
I like it very much, although I do think it can be improved. I would increase the size of the divider at the head of the bed. It'd promote privacy and make the bed just a little more subtle.
I'd also move the grey curtain from the far wall to the sleeping area side of the long wall. And hang an oversize b/w photo in a white frame in the middle.
As a tall man, I love the height of the kitchen counter. (I originally thought it was a bar!) I agree with P2's comments on the flower situation. Generally, I saw well done.
Hey maxwell, you spelt my name wrong!
I think most of the furniture in this space is really ugly. I think someone described it as "cheesy '90s." That sums the style up nicely.
There is too much pointless, boring, "decorative" crap everywhere.
A guy who tries too hard is a real turn-off. Way too much ego here. Does nothing for my libido.
I LOVE those globes and I love their configuration. I think the ceiling is kind of great, too. I love the bar and its stools. I'm majorly digging that red painting and I think those pillows on that sofa connect it nicely with the painting, no kiddin'.
There are SO many kinds of flowers I would prefer instead of those lillies. Am just hoping that those aren't words that I'm seeing on the artwork that hangs between the windows, because I'm liking it just fine while I assume that it's not.
I think the back of that bed reads as a pony wall, which I think is just fine, thanks, and having it turns toward the wall like that makes it look cozy to me, and I have no objection to a guy (or anyone) being honest about what they're trying to achieve with their design "even" if it's getting laid.
"And over here, is my boom boom room..."
I just don't understand how anyone can take the statement "design is about getting laid" literally. It's obviously an exaggeration.
Are you sure, NT? I mean, look at that place.
alright, even if it's not, which I think it is, I guess I found the "I feel sorry for you" comment a tad judgmental. Maybe I'm just grumpy and sleep-deprived.
oh puh-lease, had your beau jonathan siad the same #$@%ing thing, you'd be all goo-goo ga-ga giggly and rushing to his defnese.
Why is "design is about getting laid" more ludicrous or ironic than the popular "my home is my refuge" or "my kitchen is the heart of my home" or even Corb's "a house is a machine for living"?
I applaud anyone who knows what he or she is designing *for*, regardless of whether I agree on the goal or love the outcome. At least the design makes its occupant happy.
"Why is "design is about getting laid" more ludicrous or ironic than the popular "my home is my refuge" or "my kitchen is the heart of my home" or even Corb's "a house is a machine for living"?
exactly. and what's wrong with getting laid?
Wende, about five years ago a friend of mine was looking for an apartment here in San Francisco. He looked at one place that was still occupied. The main room of the studio included one piece of furniture: a king-size four-poster bed with a canopy and all sorts of Folsom St. accoutrements dangling here and there. Nothing else.
Now, THAT's design to get laid. Straight (so to speak) to the point. What we're seeing above is more like a parody of seduction.
Wende - I'm not saying it's ludicrous. I'm saying it's an exaggerated statement for the purpose of emphasizing a point. If he literally believed the only purpose of design was getting laid, then it would mean no other factors would impact his design decisions (such as comfort, work-space, storage, etc.) I just don't think that any human being is that single-minded about anything, even getting laid. So, I don't understand why anyone take it literally, rather than taking in the somewhat light-hearted spirit with which it was intended. If the poster who made the "sorry for you" comment, meant that in a humorous way, instead of a superior disparaging way, then I apologize for misunderstanding. It came off as judgmental, but perhaps it was not intended.
And Notme - I don't know if you are joking, but if no, I would appreciate if you would not slander me. As I've repeatedly said, I am in a committed relationship and I have never acted improperly towards anyone on this site, including Jonathan. In fact, my motives for defending him are similar to my motives here - that his humorous statements were being misunderstood and taken too literally by some people on the forum.
Re: Designs to get you laid. 1) There was recently a property listing in Santa Monica (referenced on Curbed LA) that had a stripper pole in the living room. 2) One of the studio condo apartments in my last building at one time had a round bed in the middle of the room, facing a small, raised stage. (It has since been remodeled.)
Re: Jaime. Turns out he and I have a mutual friend. (Small world, huh?) And if this mutual friend is typical of the caliber of his dates, then Jaime must deliver the goods. (And, no, Patrick... I didn't ask about the size of the Gucci loafer.)
Design is about getting laid, eh?
I don't see a night stand or table anywhere near the bed. Where are you suppose to keep your condoms?
I assumed that jaime was a girl with a real amusing party girl SATC sense of humour. I've known a couple jaime's that spell their name that way, and I kinda like this place. Especially the bed - it looks like the kind of place I'd love to lure a sweet guy into when I invite him over 'for coffee' -
To me, it looks sexy, dramatic, a little like a stage set - but I can imagine being a woman who would live in this sort of place -
and I like the bar/kitchen thing, and love the red couch.
But, obviously according to enrique, I am wrong. :)
but my opinion still stands...or sits, or curls up on that big bed to watch Fellini films and not fear spilling wine on the sheets.....
Simply love it!
yes kindly do not slander New Tenant. Despite the fact that I have never actually met her, have no idea what she looks like, acts like, how old she is and despite that I cannot, in fact, be sure she is biologically a woman - I am nonetheless ready to leave my wife, child and townhouse for her. because she is the only one on this miserable site with a textured, dark sense of humor. Unlike the rest of you wretched chimps.
New Tenant understood that, while on its face the sentence "design gets you laid!" appears moronic, the sheer exuberance of the way it is written makes it OBVIOUSLY a joke. That someone would write that is OBVIOUSLY a joke. Once again I am stunned - STUNNED - by how profoundly stupid you people are, and how much I HATE YOU. Do NONE of you have a sense of humor? Do you walk around like prim-faced librarians all day?
All of this is so depressing.
We just put the kid to bed and I am going out to Tempo for dinner with the wife. I will pretend to have a good time but the whole time I will be sitting there seething about you people.
And yet, somehow, my evening just got that much better.
The more I think about it, the more I like this one.
What is the partition on the right of picture 5? Is it a piece of backlit fabric? It brings a lot of warmth to the space.
He does not need to keep condoms, the dates bring them en masse in heaving-breath anticipation :)
Avocado - it looks to me like a piece of backlit parchment - is that possible?
I was in Tokyo last year and was in many sake bars that used parchment just beautifully - long stretches of it in slightly different shades, backlit in different areas. I wish I had taken pictures because I never see anything quite like it here in NYC.
Off I trot. Ciao. JAK
I'm curious roughly where this is in Columbia Heights — definitely a step up from your normal D.C. row house.
Or, he just wears one ALL THE TIME. :)
New Tenant--
Um, perhaps sense of humor is all relative, and can still piss someone off if not taken with the proverbial grain of salt? Seems like the comment directed to you (obviously a joke) rubbed YOU the wrong way, perhaps the same way our chinese-knock-off-buyin', self-loathing friend's comments also apparently do, to others...?
You disappoint. I thought you were a "shoe man." ;)
Then, if this NOT about getting laid, I want to vote again...
you're right patrick. I'll give notme the benefit of the doubt and assume it was a joke, and not a mean-spirited, cowardly pot shot spewed at me from behind the safety of a computer screen by someone trying desperately to compensate for his presumably small anatomy.
Gosh, I feel better already. It's so much better just to take the high road in these matters, don't you think :)
The measurements issue brings up an important question:
Is it most proper (especially for this contest) to calculate square footage by multiplying the "inner wall to inner wall" distance times the "inner wall to inner wall" distance?
Or is it most proper to add 6 inches to each inner wall distance (total of 12 inches) before multiplying length times width?
You might want to get some Museum Gum to hold the items on the console table on the other side of the headboard while you're banging away. Breaking a bed is a kick, but don't go overboard.
God, this is the most entertaining string I've ever read on this site. I love AT! I can practically cancel my HBO subscription.
New Tenant--
Funny-- and revealing-- that you assumed not me was a man...
But glad to see you rose-- or is it sunk?-- to the challenge.
I'm back from dinner. Which I'm sure in a fit of stress in the middle of the night I will vociferously vomit up.
Patrick: do those sofas i ordered just suck? seriously what do you think. i realize the website is just horrendous but how do you think they will look
the couch/pillows are taking away from the whole apartment, seems unfair to not like it cause of one piece of furniture
Dear God, don't cancel HBO. Sopranos baby. Reason alone. Biggest Jerseyest. Love.
P2 - I did debate whether notme was male or female. I figured only a guy would bother to launch an unprovoked rude personal attack against a total stranger. It usually takes a bit longer for women to work up the energy to be really obnoxious. :) I'm just kidding - assuming notme was male just made for a better joke.
First of all: I had fun reading you guys going at this. Too funny! Of course is a hyperbole!
Below are my responses, and i took the time to adress mostly all comments.To begin, some clarifications in general to all:
- I am a 30yo, gay male, in a relationship –sorry beautiful girls!
- "Jaime" is a Spanish name. "Jamie" is an Anglo name, right?
- I renovated my house in 2002 and since it HAS been shag-approved- believe me! -I had to start kicking them out-
-flowers, I got the best Whole Foods sold few days before. They are just flowers- Who cares!
that said:
Tuck - hiring an interior designer would make this place HIS work, not MY home. I do my own work.
Kelly - (male or female?) keep doubting …
Hanna, Jessica, Jessica M- thank you. Come over for some Amaretto! (But: can't touch this!)
Jax - yes, there is an operable skylight that leads to the roof. To capture the essence of a space, at night, with a regular digital camera, without professional lighting, believe me is hard, so the lighting effect is not even close to reality, but it feels very warm, cozy, snuggly, and is accentuated by the translucent mica wall that encloses the closet. This wall panel is backlit, so at night, that is my mood light: an amber glowing wall surface. Skin looks great under that light, am telling you!
I have to defend the spotlights…again, they dim and I like the spots on the wall. Hanging pictures will produce long shadows which I don't like (I tried it)
Enrique, Mike - drinks? Enrique, which friend in common do we have?
Pilgrim- now here is somebody who gave it a thought! You are right, is the second floor of my home (I rent the first floor) which has EPDM insulation over the old roofing. It works well, but is not as highly efficient as standard BATT insulation. When I had the ceiling removed I decide the look -and volume- of the roof was so amazing, I hat to leave it exposed and compromise on the insulation. Since it's a small space, the HVAC does a great job keeping the space comfortably, even under some HOT action…LOL. By the way, it is going on the market, so I will let you know how it compares to NYC.
Jessica 2 –Please understand this is a row house in DC and most of the houses in this 'hood are Victorians or federal style like mine, which have this type of fenestration. It is what it is. Also, behind the green silk drapes, there is another south exposed window you can see, and a glass door leading you to the very-bright studio. I closed the drapes for picture/glare purposes.
Trish M – I am very tall (6'4") so I custom made my kitchen counter, bath vanity and bed to be taller than normal so I don't shrug. My short friends make fun of me….I could look like a giraffe at a pond sometimes
Patrick (the other one)- what size of shoes does a 6'4" man should wear? Thanks for your "clutter" comments. Kelly Hoppen- thanks for the tip- I have never heard of her before- I like her stuff, though I see the same wenge wood finish as my furniture. Your vote is mine already!
Dani- (male?) you are invited!!! =)
AMLitt- sofa is not red leather, but fabric. You re the first one to ever say this place has no personality…am curious now.
ASD- got the lamps in Montreal. You should have seen the face of the guars at customs when I was at the airports!
R- The kitchen on the center? No way Jose! I have to get back at you and say you are the one with a planning problem. Give it a thought again. Sorry.
New Tenant- here is another smart guy. You sound like my realtor. A divider between living area and bedroom will abruptly break the space and the roof will not have the effect it has now: a continuous surface unifying everything underneath it. The single-space layout is what makes it feel larger. BTW: From whom am I suppose to enclose myself in the bedroom, if is just me and him in the apartment? And if there is somebody else in such case, it would be called "3 is company" to say the least. If you flip the bed to the wall, it will look into the bathroom. A big NO. I don't watch TV or have guests watch TV when entertaining. They come to visit, not to watch TV.
Wende in SFO- Good clutter and irony arguments- I am loving you! I'll buy my first SFO home from you! I promise.
Max- common! Even if I liked girls I would never had a slide-down screen with a projector. This is no biology class room! That is so techno-tacky.
Jonathan- I have foot stirrups available, you can hang yourself from the roof, relax, and be ready to comment for the next contest! And, as you can figure out already, you have no reason for divorce! Your wife is very lucky to have a guy with good sense of humor.
Another DCer- a resident of the Nations Capital who doesn't know in America you can buy more than one of each item? Come see for yourself- front and back!
Joey- Samantha was over here…she love it! LOL. Floors are cabinet-grade maple plywood floors, bleached and with aluminum strips in between. The bathroom door/window overlooks through my private office to the southern exposed yard. No need to turn on the lights when showering! Love it. Whoever finds the condoms get a price!
Only- my private office (I work from home) is the back porch which I enclosed with polygal panles. If more photos would be allowed I would showed this.
J- They are original 40's chairs. I bought them from the AIDS project store in NYC back in 1998. 60 bucks- both! A deal
Another bachelor, Doug- The room divider gives enough privacy- remember, is just me and my date- and if am entertaining with bunch of friends, all the space is to become one: front to back allowing the connection to the outdoor living areas.
New Tenant--
You and I must know different women.
JAIME...YOUR APT. IS GREAT! And if you win i would like you to invite me a couple of drinks (at your house, off course!!).
Your apt. is the best, i love it...i think you are very talented...
I REALLY HOPE YOU WIN THIS CONTEST (that will increase my cahé)...
Heh, this time round I enjoyed the comments as much as the cool photos -- especially the ruffled feathers and cattiness. Jaime's rejoinders are hilarious, and something of a model for how to reply when judged by prickly strangers. ;-)
"Um, perhaps sense of humor is all relative, and can still piss someone off if not taken with the proverbial grain of salt? Seems like the comment directed to you (obviously a joke) rubbed YOU the wrong way, perhaps the same way our chinese-knock-off-buyin', self-loathing friend's comments also apparently do, to others...?"
Touche, P2.
hmm. so i haven't read the most recent of the 96 comments, so maybe somebody already mentioned this. i just saw an article in the washington post (click my name for the link). the picture sure makes it look like the same apartment. if it is...what's up with the square footage??
This is featured in today's Washington Post Home section: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/15/AR2006031500550.html
It's an article on small kitchens. And there's a picture of the owner...
A quick reply to PPan (I find all other issues here not less fascinating, just don't have time to rant):
I have no idea what the rules of the contest say about method ofcalculation, but in interior design practice for real estate purposes calculation is done along the inteior face of the glass on exterior window wall and the middle of the demising partitions. That means at least 2" into the demising partition.
Very nice, warm, inviting and classy! Once again, I'm jealous!!!
Saw the Washington Post story this morning too, DC chick. Jaime's kitchen is a heck of a lot cooler than the other ones in the article.
One note: the Post article listed the square footage at 750.....not that I particularly care about nitpicking the contest rules.
And to Jaime.....was just teasing about the mirror. Loved the apartment when I saw it here....and still love it after seeing it in the paper this morning!
before more confusion is made:
SqFt as determined in the graphic instructions of this contest, measurements are from inside-to-inside of walls, excluding stairs, etc.
SqFt, for real state purposes, which means gross calculations ends up being more since it includes all exterior walls.
I am more than happy to send official drawings to Apartment Therapy for them to judge.
Jaime, it's only techno-tacky if you do it wrong. Trust me, I design this stuff as a job. Or you could just project on the wall behind the curtain. But perhaps I'm just averse to visible electronics in the bedroom.
owner/jaime - thanks for clearing that up! i figured the difference was probably something boring and technical like that :)
Jaime, Of course you're gay--all the good men are! (or at least the ones with cool apartments--most straight guys' ways of making their apartment "date worthy" includes putting a tshirt over a lamp and bringing out the beer) :) If your current relationship doesn't work out, I know a great guy who loves latin men!
Max, to have a screen or a projector hanging from the exposed wood ceiling I think will clash.what you think? If I had a soffit, I would consider it well. I also dont like electronics being exhibited -they should be discrete- even more now in this digital era where we are just invaded by them!
Christine in DC- thanks for the compliment!
Christine (the one in DC)--
Have we met? :)
But sometimes a t-shirt on the lamp is HOT. Just depends on how it gets there... :)
Now that we got full disclosure on the owner, the space looks less American Psycho and more like the loft from Queer as Folk. :)
Hey Jaime, If I were designing a system for your space I'd actually put the screen either behind the curtain, use the wall behind the curtain, or have a screen that pops up from the floor (either recessed in the floor or concealed behind the existing furniture there). I'd put a small projetor tucked up on the lateral beam you have running across the ceiling behind the bed, and use lens shift to get the image down to the screen.
At any rate, your place rocks, I think it's the nicest one of the contest so far.
PLUS, then the moving images could dance over your entwined, wrangling bodies.
Works for me.
And hey, for the doubters, I wouldn't trust the Post for the correct square footage.. they didn't spell his name the right way, either!!!
Hey Jaime. The mutual friend is Glen D. in L.A. ;)
Enrique, Or course- Glen!
are you in DC, LA or PS?
Hey Jaime, just read the W. Post piece and can relate to the cooking smells. Skip the incense (that's just my opinion, it makes me sneeze) and maybe give an air purifier a try? I have a Vornado and there is a quick clean setting that really helps out when I cook.
I knew the kitchen counter looked right to me. (I'm 6'4", too.)
Jaime, it sounds like you've got a great personality and a thoughtful eye for detail.
As far as widening the divider, I was only suggesting 6-12 inches or so. I really like the openness it allows.
For those who hate cooking smells that linger, but don't want something like incense - try a lampe bergere. It's a french catalytic burner that uses a high-alcohol fuel available in natural and scented versions, with beautiful shapes that match any decor. You light the burner with a match, let it burn till the stone heats up, and then blow it out and put a metal cage on top. It will purify a decent size room in 1/2 hour - 45 minutes. Then you put the cap back on, and it stops the reaction. No scent left if you're using the neutral fuel.
It's really awesome. ANd looks good.
wow. i'm almost afraid to say anything here since the conversation has been so volatile. This is the best design i've seen for this contest because it has functionality. One has to eat, sleep, entertain and whatever else in a small space. To do it all with style is enviable.
I see you referring to me as "smart" and i think "finally someone on this damned blog who understands my true worth" but then you go on to dis my idea about the separate bedroom - so pfffft!
and after I defended your hyperbole too when everyone else thought you were just sex-crazed reprobate.
anyway, fine! and excuse me for thinking you might want to watch t.v. in the living room. as it happens, my t.v. is in the living room - NOT in the bedroom because I have better things to do in THERE when I have - ahem - company over.
seriously, though - great responses (except the one to me) and i love the place.
NT (not a guy)
We're just happy to see that two DC apartments made the cut. Way to go Jaime.
I dunno what Christine's talkin' about. She should come see my apartment. I'm the kind of person who's ruining the neighborhood in Dupont Circle.
Jamie you do have a cool looking apartment - especially that ceiling. But is that ceiling legal? I was under the impression that exposed ceilings are only allowed in single familiy residences and Not in commercial buildings or condo/apartments unless there is some fire protective measures (like concrete).
How i can do the same with my ceiling (legally that is)?
I love Corbu
I'd do you on a few extra conditions:
1. It's clean (the bathroom in particular)
2. It doesn't smell like smoke of any kind
3. It doesn't smell like men's cologne
4. There is no new-age jazz music playing in the background
5. You don't tell me to take off my shoes as soon as I walk in
6. You have a good bottle of wine sitting around somewhere
7. You're a nice guy
Jamie (fellow CUA'r),
Really like your place! Envious of all your space. Keep an eye out for my submission, (if I make the cut). Could end up being the battle of the CUA grads. I'm sure you would do fine in the getting laid dept. w/o having to have a nice place, but it couldn't hurt.
Great job!
Phred--do you mean you're a gay guy with bad taste or a straight guy with good taste?
Sharon, I dount that Jaime would ever do you or allow you to do him.
NT, kudos for calling out the ppl that didn't get it. You did and earlier than most. Of course I did but I would say that after the fact wouldn't I?
BTW, jaime, overall your place looks great but I don't think your photos do justice to it judging by the shot in the washington post.
ah, finally got to read through all the comments and see Jaime might like my friend Matt more than myself...
Still, this whole thread touches on a new idea for AT---the idea of design to attract others. I don't think it's that far-fetched. We choose our clothing that way. I definitely reject a lot of home items I might otherwise like because they're too "girly" and I know darn well they're off-putting to men...lace, flowery things, pinks, pastels, etc. I tend toward the middle ground of greens and earth tones.
Anyway. I love that red painting in Jaime's apartment. Wouldn't go with anything in my apartment, but it's beautiful.
one other thing---my extra conditions are useful in either social situation, I believe...
Design to attract others...
You mean I have to start taking my Eames splint OUT with me to bars?!?!?
Hmmm. I actually know a bar where that just might work...
Thanks Jaime for describing the office (and naturally lighted bathroom).
Pilgrim, and others who dug the exposed roof -- I want to spill about a converted building in an alley in Dupont. There, too, the upper floor is the living space -- tall sloping ceiling, skylight, wooden ceiling fans, cascading plants, giant hay-doors thrown open in the evenings, Louise Bourgeois - type art marking the entry. Would love an invitation too, and happy to bring amaretto.
i am sorry but the rug is simply vile and it throws the rest of the space -- which is darling -- completely off for me.
btw, i believe this is the first time i have ever seen this web site used as a pick-up spot! to your success.
You think this is the first time!??
Then you've not been paying close enough attention!! ;)
darling, does the wood inspire you?
I love it. I would've continued the drapery along the left wall instead of the lighting. Trying it now would create a fire hazard. You could, I assume, remove the heads. This would complete what I feel your intent is; to define and seperate the two spaces.
1. turn bed around. put against wall. more like hotel room.
2. lose living room dark grey curtains. take a little of the vamp look out of living room by decluttering and lightening colors a bit.
otherwise cool.
and go out on your dates instead.
Horny much?
The only thing I like about this is that big red painting. Everything else is "meh".
dude, is that bronze mirrored tile? hugh hefner is old enough to be my grandpa, let alone yours.
that first picture is hot...i want that open beam ceiling in my place! and that red couch is the perfect violation to your space!
Can a non apt liver play?
I LOVE your apt! Ii is stylish and personal, it looks like a great place to hang out. Makes me wish I was living in some cool DC apartment rather than a townhouse in Germantown. I am inspired!
About enclosing yourself in the bedroom? Huh? Not everyone worries about being behind closed doors ;)
Have to say this particular thread is TOO fun! I have been reading/looking at all the contest threads all day and this one is cracking me up!
Great place.
Can you tell me where you got your sofa (it's awesome!) and the large, red painting in the living/dining/kitchen area?
so, It is not bronze tile, It is Mica panelings from e-panelite.com
The red painting I comissioned from an artist in London.
ther is no "vamp" or "clutter" as i see it in my house. Something I do know i have is good style - my clients and experience have assure me that. I am not being cocky, just confident.
...oh, and am not moving the bed anywhere!
ok...good luck to everybody!
The problem with this space is that it is too nice for a straight guy. It is a beard-catcher. Women, after a while, realize they are better off with a guy who has a bachelor pad as opposed to the kind of "bachelor-for-life" pad that their uncle, the one who wears the cravat and drives the Morgan and has never been married, keeps.
There's such a thing as "restraint" in designing spaces, especially smaller ones. This one exercises almost none. I know it's not totally fitting, but the one word that keeps coming to my mind as I look at the pics is...wait for it...EIGHTIES. And it seems smaller than 600sq.ft., which means it could have been thought out better. I'd start from scratch. The only thing I like is the half-height footboard/bedroom divider - but even that could have been done much better.
I just saw Jaime's apartment on tv today on a show called "Small Space, Big Style" on the HGTV channel. I think the place looks cool. :)

- Great for all SeasonsGjones62Dined on 9/19/2014We arrived a bit late for our reservation. The greeting was warm and friendly, the seating was quick and personal. Service was prompt and courteous. Our food came out as promised and tasted great! We will visit again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food!ChomondelyDined on 9/19/2014Excellent service. Waitress knew the menu and accomodates various special requests to change the side on the entrees. We loved the individual sized desert. We will go back.Special Features:
- I know it'a chain but....OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014It feels like a really good independent restaurant. The food is innovative but not strange and always nicely presented. They offer a widerange of selections from their flatbreads to hard to find branzino - which is always my favorite. Intimate atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not up to usual standarsCyndioVIPDined on 9/19/2014I usually love Season's 52 and have had great experiences up until this time. I went to lunch with 4 other friends, and our waiter evidently turned in the orders for three of us, but not for two. He came by our table several times after the three had been served, and we finally had to ask where the rest of the food was. We watched him go back to the kitchen, talk to someone, scribble out something on his pad, and then a little while later, our food came. Very clearly he didn't place the full order. No apologies or explanations or anything... very disappointing. The food was delicious when it finally arrived though. I had the Korean Duck lettuce wraps... awesome!!Special Features:
- A perfect evening of diningJimFDined on 9/18/2014Seasons 52 is a gem. The staff was knowledgable, friendly and attentive. The food, from appetizers to dessert were prepared to perfection. The wine list was excellent. Complimentary valet parking is available. This was our first visit to Seasons 52 and we will definitely return to this gem of a restaurantSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New menu items delishCampmaVIPDined on 9/18/2014I love Seasons 52 changing menu and good service always keeps me coming back. The Korean duck lettuce wrap and Banh Mi were so good.Special Features:
- Excellent food and serviceDinedivaDined on 9/14/2014I took my Mother for lunch, it wasn't so noisy that you couldn't carry on a conversation which was great. The food was excellent, my steak was not overdone and the salmon was very yummy. Our waiter was very attentive and gave excellent service. Everyone there was very friendly!Special Features:
- memorable eveninghappy48Dined on 9/10/2014At a friends recommendation we decided to celebrate Anniversary #48 at Seasons 52. It was the perfect place. From the moment we checked in, we felt at home with the signed card placed at our quiet table, the complimentary toast of champagne and attentive service. piano playing/singing in the distance added to the already warm ambiance. From the flat bread appetizer, through the entree (mine was scallops, his the entree salad with bar-b-que chicken) to the individually portioned deserts, everything was tasty and nicely presented. Cameron was gracious, professional and charming with his spot-on service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DeliciousSheshDined on 9/10/2014Everything was fresh and delicious! Loved the salmon and the pecan pie!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/10/2014Forgot to put in the order for one of our appetizers. Reminded server about it but it came at the end of the meal. My entree (black bean tacos) was cold. Everyone else at the table raved about their food. Very good on keeping beverages filled. Didn't hover, which I liked. Mini-desserts are to die for!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food is Always GoodKatyBVIPDined on 9/9/2014We had some wonderful food as always. The server was not good at all. We never saw her during our whole meal and I had to ask another server to refill my iced tea. This is not usually how it is at Season's 52. I guess she had a bad day.Special Features:
- Pleasantly SurprisedMattGDined on 9/6/2014I live nearby and still hadn't made it to this place yet, but since the GF wanted to go, we tried it out. For a first time visit, I was actually very impressed with the variety and attention to detail given to the menu. Most restaurants that characterize themselves as "healthy dining" don't have the flavor to garner praise from those that are there for more than asparagus or a salad, however, this place is quite tasty! The wait staff is exceptionally friendly and the ambiance fits the mood well for a date. Overall, good experience and would recommend to any couple looking for a new place to dine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love this place!TXwannabeDined on 9/6/2014Wish we could eat at a Seasons 52 in San Antonio! Have enjoyed meals at Seasons 52 in Atlanta, Plano and now Houston. Consistently very good food and service.Special Features:
- Great restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/5/2014This was my first time to Season's 52 restaurant and I was impressed. First you are greeted with friendly and accommodating staff who treat you like a king or queen. From management, to the hostesses, to the wait staff, to the piano player it was al good and impressive. The food was absolutely phenomenal - great tasting and fantastic presentation. Just the right amount to fill you up without being bloated.Special Features:
- Very Special PlaceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/4/2014This restaurant has it all. Wonderful, creative food, with healthy but delicious meals, and a posh atmosphere that is quiet enough to have a good conversation.Special Features:
- Great food & serviceBeckyEatsVIPDined on 9/2/2014We loved the appetizers and entrees. Five of us went. Everything we had was fantastic except the filet. The 2 who ordered that said they would skip it next time. The desserts were a great concept, but not really well executed.Special Features:
- End of SummerCroatianEaterDined on 9/1/2014I like that the menu changes. We went on the last day of summer menu. The trout and scallops were well cooked. I enjoyed the bbq chicken salad and the small blueberry lemon dessert.Special Features:
- Melt in your mouth filetMojomichaelDined on 8/31/2014The oak grilled filet was fantastic. So tender, perfect flavor. My wife had the pork tenderloin which was also among the best I have ever tried. The blackened steak and blue cheese flatbread was ok, but it needed more everything on it to have enough flavor for my liking. My spinach salad was a little boring, but the organic green salad my wife ordered was really satisfying. Lots of flavors working there. I love what they do with dessert... the dessert shots are small enough to make sense after a full dinner. The Belgian chocolate s'more was the best we tried. The chocolate peanut butter shot was also pretty good. The carrot cake and pecan pie were both good, but not really memorable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great birthday experience!blueskyDined on 8/31/2014I went here for my birthday dinner and had a wonderful time. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The food was really good. The staff gave me a birthday card and our desserts were complimentary. I will definitely try to go back, especially since their menu changes with the seasons. I recommend this place!Special Features:
- FoodFashionistaDined on 8/31/2014The lunch was ok. I really like the chicken flat bread and pecan pie dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always good food and serviceCampmaVIPDined on 8/30/2014Seasons 52 never disappoints in food or service. I always feel like I am getting fresh, not heavy buttered or creamed food. We did the Houston Restaurant week menu which was plenty of food. The roasted tomato flatbread was delicicious and light. Salad was tasty and my scallops were good. My hubby had the filet which was okay but we weren't eating at a steak house so I wasn't expecting primo beef. Armani was very attentive and nice background piano bar music. I always enjoy eating here and obviously the staff is very well trained. Management is first class!Special Features:
- Wonderful RestaurantJodyenergyDined on 8/30/2014Will be back with out a doubt. The Food was Great from beginning to end.Special Features:
- Great dinnerMarlVIPDined on 8/30/2014Good was very fresh and well-presented. Flat bread starter is delicious. Waiter was very attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First visit and very pleased.CliffMcDined on 8/30/2014First time visit, very impressed. Staff was friendly and professional. Beautiful inside. Food was delicious. I really enjoyed the Hawaiian Pineapple Cosmo, it was first rate. All 3 at our table enjoyed the $20 lunch special which came with a soup or appetizer, a main dish, a side, and a mini-desert. Not only was the food delicious, the presentation was quite spiffy. And the mini-desert really hit the spot.Special Features:
- One of Houston's Bestfoodiefan55Dined on 8/29/2014Our party of 5 ate at Seasons 52 for Restaurant Week. From the moment we entered until we left, it was a 5-star experience. Our waitress, Mae, was friendly and efficient. The food was delicious from appetizers to dessert! We will definitely eat here again and recommend to others.Special Features:
- Great ConceptStuhou810Dined on 8/29/2014I love the Seasons 52 concept - a seasonally rotating menu offering lots of healthy options (nothing is over 475 calories) with food that actually tastes great and is full of flavor. You would think that the portions would be smaller, but this is not the case. I had the scallops served on risotto, and it was quite filling. My partner had the Ahi sushi roll and loved it. On top of that, they have a great wine list and, of course, a full bar. We really enjoyed our evening and although the service felt rushed a bit at first, things finally hit a nice pace. Definitely treat yourself to a dessert - they are the perfect size and won't make you feel guilty for indulging a bit. We will definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Houston is most fortunate!RobertDined on 8/28/2014We have been here three times now and have never been disappointed! I brought my 17-year-old daughter here for an outstanding dinner that we both sincerely enjoyed. We had garlic chicken pesto flatbread, and that was excellent. She had the cedar-plank salmon and I had scallops over risotto. I was sad when dinner ended, as the food and service were both of the highest quality!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Will go againFoodie4everDined on 8/28/2014Great ambiance! The HRW menu online was a little different than the one we were presented, but we were able to make good selections. The flatbread was fabulous! The server & hosts were friendly & cordial. Will go again for dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always impeccablepegasusDined on 8/27/2014This place never disappoints. Food always superb. Well trained wait staff. Engaged manager (Rueben). Excellent for business lunches to parties to romantic dinners. This place does everything well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SalmononmygoodnessDined on 8/23/2014The salmon could have been bigger in size. Everything else inside the restaurant was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Option in the areaNaniDined on 8/23/2014The food was very good and reasonably priced. The ambiance and service were excellent. Will definitely go back!!!Special Features:
- Good Healthy restaurant;no guiltLisaDined on 8/23/2014Menu selections keep diet conscious in mind. Wine selections & pricing wine is good. I hate paying >$10/glass for wine & resent restaurants that charge too much for wine. My only complaint was the original table they tried to seat us at (only 2 people) in the back room with all the big tables of 14. We asked to relocate and we were moved to a section closer to the bar area into a booth. Much better experience for a middle age couple!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exellent!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/23/2014Excellent food and service. Definitely a repeat locationSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for anniversarySn0wDined on 8/22/2014Had our anniversary dinner at seasons 52. They had fantastic service and a complimentary champaign toast. Will definitely come back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent foodSueBDined on 8/22/2014The food was delicious and I loved the seasonal items.. fresh corn, heirloom tomatoes.. Yum! Only problem, the live music was too loud and distracting during dinner.Special Features:
- Perfect place for visiting guestsAtticusDined on 8/22/2014I tried this place out on a little bit of a gamble - bringing a friend visiting internationally without ever being here. I had mixed reviews from two friends but SO very glad I made it here. The piano bar area is lively and an ideal place to be seated if possible. The piano player/singer was awesome. the food was great, and our server was attentive but not overbearing. Will definitely be back soon.Special Features:
- ServicePearlandMomDined on 8/22/2014Our waiter, Fitz, was amazing. He was very attentive, knowledgeable of the menu, and had a great personality. Fitz, combined with the wonderful food and specialty drinks, made for a fantastic evening out!Special Features:
- Friday lunchOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/22/2014My friend and I chose lunch from the Restaurant Week menu. It was so very good. Flatbread with roasted roma tomatoes, etc., chicken caprese sandwich and dessert. We will definitely go back. Cara was a wonderful waitress.Special Features:
- Ronnie was a great server!!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/21/2014Best service ever!! First time there and we felt like he read our minds. Very prompt and super sweet! Food was good but he might the experience great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

A Mass of Christian Burial is set for three generations of a prominent Sacramento family who died Jan. 23 in a traffic collision in Hawaii.
The service for Sacramento business leader Donald D. Ingoglia, 73; his son, Philip, 39; and grandson, Isidoro, 9, will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at Sacred Heart Church, 39th and J streets, Sacramento.
According to investigators, Donald Ingoglia was driving to Kona with his son and grandson when their car crashed into an oncoming pickup. Donald and Philip Ingoglia died at the scene, while Isidoro Ingoglia died at Kona Community Hospital.
Police said an autopsy showed Donald Ingoglia suffered an unspecified medical condition that caused him to lose control of the car and cross the center line into the path of the pickup, which overturned and caught fire. A man and woman in the pickup also died in the crash, police said.
Family members told The Bee that Donald Ingoglia and his wife, Pat, were hosting their son and grandson at the couple's vacation condo. Pat was not with her husband, son and grandson, who were returning to Kona after visiting Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Donald Ingoglia retired in 1999 as chairman and chief executive officer of Tony's Fine Foods, a major food distributor based in West Sacramento. He was on the board of the company, which was founded by his parents in 1934 and grew to be one of the biggest employers in the region.
A Sacramento native, he was born March 20, 1939, to Adele and Anthony "Tony" Ingoglia Sr. He graduated from Santa Clara University and earned a law degree from UC Hastings College of the Law. He married his wife in 1969, raised five sons and was a tax attorney before joining the family business.
His son Philip A. Ingoglia was born March 24, 1973, in Sacramento. He graduated from McClatchy High School, earned a business degree at Humboldt State University and moved to Costa Rica.
He developed properties and was a leader in the surfing community of Dominical. He recently moved to San Isidro, where he established a sustainable farm and organized a charity program for needy children.
"Phil had a real energy," said his brother John. "More than me or any of my brothers, he had a real thirst for life and really challenged people in their thinking."
Isidoro Marin Ingoglia was a top fourth-grade student, musician and athlete in San Isidro who enjoyed surfing with his father.
Donald Ingoglia is survived by his wife, Pat of Sacramento; sons, Dan of San Francisco, Thomas of San Diego, and Peter and John, both of Sacramento; brothers, Tony of Granite Bay and Michael of Sacramento; sister, Joanie Berger of Lake of the Pines; and four grandchildren.
Philip Ingoglia is survived by his mother and brothers. Isidoro Ingoglia is survived by his mother, Marjorie Marin Mena of Costa Rica; grandparents, Paulino Marin Porras and Flor Mena Gamboa of Costa Rica; and grandmother, Pat Ingoglia.

Similar to other gunsmithing schools, there are two levels of training at Modern Gun School. You can take a basic course or an advanced course. The basic course consists of thirty one lessons that will cover the basics of firearm repair. Each lesson is broken up into three parts. When you apply to for the basic course you will receive the necessary tools to complete the lessons and projects although common tools such as screwdrivers, pliers, etc. are not provided.
The basic course covers safety concerns about working with firearms and you will begin to learn the terminology used by gunsmiths and gunsmithing schools. You will also be given an overview of some of the laws concerning guns and people who work with guns. They will provide other non technical courses such as bookkeeping, sources of supply, public relations, advertising as well as tips on buying and selling firearms. They will also teach you how to set up your own shop and workbench and how to decide which tools you really need and which ones you can do without. Other courses containing information about how to set up a library, advise customers on which weapon to buy, and even how to write a press release are also given. On the technical side, Modern Gun School provides similar information that is taught in other gunsmithing schools. You'll learn about basic firearm repair as well as the basics of stock finishing and refinishing. You will also take courses to learn about customizing firearms. You'll learn about adding recoil pads, butt plates and swivels as well as how to checker stock grips. Other courses include sights and mounting scopes, how to repair and rebuild barrels and even how to use bluing equipment and about polishing and jewelling.
The advanced level of training included all of the courses in the basic level as well as thirty four additional lessons. This makes for a total of sixty five lessons to complete the advanced class. It is estimated that it will take two years to complete the advanced level of training. The tools that are needed to continue with these extra lessons are also provided. Most of the lessons in the advanced level are related to actual firearms or technical skills needed to become a gunsmith. Modern Gun School does provide courses on helping you decided if you want to work full time or part time, how to set up a shop and to avoid pitfalls that could derail your new business. You will also be given a course on how to identify various private brand name guns and other identifying information about a firearm. Some of the more technical skills you will learn in the advanced level include; more information on customizing, bluing and accessorizing a firearm. You will also learn about repairing various problems with shotguns and how to install barrels on a number of different types of firearms. You will learn how to install barrels on handguns, shotguns, center firing rifle barrels and rifle barrels. You will also be given a course in accurizing.
In both the basic and advanced level courses at Modern Gun School will provide a number of courses on specific guns such as Rugers, Colts and Smith & Wesson guns although if you do not have these actual guns at home then you will only have the books and diagrams to study.
Since most of these courses are correspondence, there is very little contact with a teacher. You are expected to do most of the work on your own following the work detailed in the course book. Although there are some projects that you are required to complete, most of the work seems to be studying the course books. Unlike other gunsmithing schools, this school has a very limited presence on the Internet and it can be difficult to find good information. Many people report that if you want general information then a correspondence course is okay but if you want to become an actual gunsmith you need to take a course that offers more practical work than is provided by Modern Gun School. The school does not provide any information about placement or careers, nor does it provide its cost. In order to find out this information, you need to send for their information packet.
When comparing Modern Gun School to other gunsmithing schools, you may be better taking a course from a school with more hands-on practice. Even if you need to take a distance education course, other gunsmithing schools, which offer distance education, have more of an Internet presence. More online presence means there will be videos to watch and even online contact with supervisors and teachers. Over all Modern Gun School needs to upgrade their course to include more online content so people can make an informed choice about which gunsmithing schools they want to attend. They may also need to do this to compete better with existing gunsmithing schools.

The Nuggets hadn't lost a home game in over three months. They also hadn't given up 130 points in a game all year. Both of those trends changed on Tuesday night when the Nuggets submitted one of their worst performances of the year. The fact it came in the playoffs was both surprising and somewhat predictable.
As the Nuggets look towards tonight's Game 2 a big key will again be limiting the damage Stephen Curry does, especially now that David Lee, the team's second leading scorer this season and thorn in the Nuggets side, is out for the rest of the season. On the Nuggets side of things Kenneth Faried is expected to play in Game 2, though he probably will not be in the starting lineup.
As a look ahead for Game 2, I went back to Game 1 and took a look at all of Steph Curry's shots to see if what the Nuggets did was replicable or if it was more of a matter of Curry just missing open shots. Below is a short breakdown of each shot.
At various times throughout the 2012-13 regular season, usually during garbage time in blowout games, rookie guard Evan Fournier offered us some occasional glimpses of his abilities and potential. But it wasn't until Mar. 29, after Ty Lawson had joined Danilo Gallinari on the injured list, that Fournier was given his first meaningful opportunity to make an impact.
And did he ever..
His career high 19 points in 21 minutes, his feisty defense, and a confident poise that went well beyond his young age were a revelation to Nuggets fans who hadn't yet been given the chance to see him fully showcase his talent. In the following game against the Utah Jazz he scored 18, and two games later against the Houston Rockets 17 points, all at very efficient percentages. The message over this four game stretch was loud and clear:
Evan Fournier is the real deal, and he's only going to get better.
In this latest installment of the Roundball Mining Company Film Room, I have set out to make nothing less than the definitive video chronicle of Fournier's coming out party (more…)
Thanks to an incredible offensive game that included the game winning bucket from Professor Miller the Nuggets took game 1, 97-95. Miller took over the game on the offensive side of the floor in the fourth quarter, willing the Nuggets to points. Defensively the Nuggets kept Stephen Curry in check for most of the game despite him hitting a three to tie the game up late.
The Nuggets kick off their first series of the 2013 playoffs against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. With injuries still lingering and a rotation in flux, there are certainly questions to be answered — which is what we plan to do below. As always, please feel free to play along and submit your answers to each of the following questions in the comments section.
Taking the pulse of the Nuggets at the end of the season
The Nuggets went undefeated in the last week of the season to clinch the third seed in the Western Conference. Kenneth Faried sprained his ankle early in Sunday's game against Portland and sat out the rest of the week; he is listed as day-to-day entering the playoffs. In a closer than expected game against the Trailblazers, Evan Fournier capped his career high 24 point night with two late three pointers to seal the 118-109 win. The next night in Milwuakee, Ty Lawson hit a go-ahead jumper with nine seconds left and the defense held on for a 112-111 victory. The Nuggets jumped out to a big lead early against the Suns in the season finale on Wednesday, giving the end of the bench a chance to show their stuff. All twelve healthy Nuggets players made at least one basket and grabbed at least one rebound in the 118-98 win. Andre Iguodala averaged 20 points, 6.7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, and 2.3 blocks for the week.
Record this week: 3-0 (2-0 home, 1-0 road)
Overall record and standings: 57-25, third seed in the West.
Upcoming: the Nuggets have home court advantage in a first round playoff series against Golden State. Game 1 is on Saturday.
The Denver Nuggets clinched the three seed after smashing the Suns by 20 points in their final home game of the year. The sun sets on a historic regular season as the Nuggets now await their first round playoff opponent, either Houston or Golden State.
UPDATE: The Nuggets will face the Golden State Warriors in a 3-6 first round matchup with home court advantage. Playoffs start Saturday, April 20, at 3:30 p.m. MST, then continue on Tuesday, April 23, at 8:30 p.m. MST; Friday, April 26, at 8:30 p.m. MST; and Sunday, April 28, at 7:30 p.m. MST. All other games are TBD.
There was muted celebration in the building following the Denver Nuggets' franchise record 55th win against the Portland Trailblazers on Sunday, enough to cast a subtle gloom over the history being witnessed by a Pepsi Center crowd of Nuggets faithful.
Considering the circumstances, it's easy to understand why. Denver lost another starter to injury but ultimately escaped a must-win game, bringing the season-long goal of the third-seed tantalizingly close but still barely out of reach. Like an audience trapped in suspended disbelief at a good movie, Nuggets fans are eagerly awaiting the final twists and turns that set up the climactic moment they've all been waiting for.
Until that plays out and we see these Nuggets tested in the sacred arena of the NBA playoffs, any judgments about this team's place in franchise history seem premature. The true gravity of becoming the Nuggets' winningest team ever may not be felt until then, but the very fact we've arrived here in the midst of a bigger goal is an opportunity to reflect on the process behind what is now a historic achievement.
The Nuggets defeated a bad, tanking Trailblazer team to win their franchise record 55th game this season. The Nuggets were up 18 in the second half and let the game get closer in the fourth quarter but were able to put the game away thanks to a dominant effort from Andre Iguodala and a great game from Evan Fournier. On a down note Denver lost Kenneth Faired with an ankle injury which right now is being reported as a sprain. Faried is listed as day-to-day at this point.
Taking the pulse of the Nuggets every weekend
The Nuggets tied their NBA franchise record for wins in a season by defeating San Antonio on Wednesday, and had a chance to break the record in Dallas on Friday, but came up short in overtime. Andre Iguodala led the way against the Spurs with a triple double and JaVale McGee's four blocks helped spark the bench in the comeback win. In Dallas, Corey Brewer's tying basket off of an Andre Miller steal brought up memories of the previous week's heroics against the Mavericks, but in the end, poor shooting and poor defense were the Nuggets' undoing.
Record this week: 1-1 (1-0 home, 0-1 road)
Current record and standings: 54-25, third seed in the Western Conference, tied with Memphis and 1 game ahead of the Clippers. The Nuggets hold the tiebreaker over Memphis due to head-to-head play, while the Clippers hold the tiebreaker over both Memphis and Denver due to winning their division.
Upcoming games: Sunday vs Portland, Monday at Milwaukee, Wednesday vs Phoenix
The Nuggets came up with a series of big plays late in regulation to tie the game, but couldn't get it done in the extra period, falling to Dallas 108-105.
|Kenneth Faried, SF 25 MIN | 1-4 FG | 1-2 FT | 7 REB | 0 AST | 0 STL | 2 BLK | 1 TO | 3 PTS | -18
Faried was quite bad, getting routinely abused on defense despite San Antonio having no one remotely athletic enough to match up with him. Couple that with a measly one offensive rebound and it sure looks like he was simply outhustled and outworked by a hobbled, inexperienced Spurs front line. He made a big defensive play and secured a key rebound late, but his 25 minutes were pretty generous considering the way he played most of the night.
|Kosta Koufos, C 21 MIN | 1-5 FG | 0-0 FT | 10 REB | 1 AST | 0 STL | 1 BLK | 0 TO | 2 PTS | -10
Koufos had a confusing game. He's never been much of a rim protector but he normally beats opposing bigs to the paint and takes away the easy angles. Koufos' paint defense alternated between sublime and uninspired in this one, but he saved his best play for when the Nuggets needed it most. At this point I expect some consistency and something more than a total zero on offense, where Koufos seems to have lost some confidence.
|Andre Miller, PG 34 MIN | 4-8 FG | 4-6 FT | 1 REB | 5 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 3 TO | 12 PTS | -7
Miller was not a net positive in this game. He was a spectator for the first 10 minutes and most every meaningful stretch of play. Miller closed the game like a pro and his ability to make free throws and manufacture offense paid off late, but he was not on the floor for the crucial stretches where Denver looked dominant.
|Wilson Chandler, SG 41 MIN | 11-20 FG | 4-4 FT | 8 REB | 4 AST | 2 STL | 1 BLK | 3 TO | 29 PTS | +6
What a great performance, and it's really easy to forget that Wilson has already scored 30+ two other times this season, both off the bench. Wilson caught fire in the second half and practiced much better shot selection than we've seen in the past. He stayed off the midrange stuff the entire night and created several running opportunities with his defense. He has not missed a beat since moving into the starting five.
|Andre Iguodala, SG 43 MIN | 5-11 FG | 1-4 FT | 13 REB | 10 AST | 3 STL | 0 BLK | 7 TO | 12 PTS | +5
Yes, he had seven turnovers and still hasn't looked decent on offense all year. He also nabbed the first triple-double by any Nugget since Marcus Camby in 2008 exactly one game after predicting he'd soon get one. There were a lot of things working against the Nuggets early and Iguodala's unwavering effort anchored the defensive push that got Denver back in the game and kept them there.
|Anthony Randolph, PF 8 MIN | 1-1 FG | 0-0 FT | 1 REB | 0 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 2 TO | 2 PTS | +6
I gave his grade a bump because he looked good as part of an uptempo bench that reinvigorated the Nuggets' transition attack. Brewer went nuclear off the bench so it just wasn't his night to see many minutes.
|Corey Brewer, SF 34 MIN | 12-25 FG | 2-5 FT | 3 REB | 2 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | 28 PTS | +30
Is this not a match made in heaven? Teams generally don't want bench players hoisting 25 shots a game but Brewer's outburst was just what the Nuggets needed after starting the game with two Miller turnovers followed by two Miller isos and predictably, zero points. Karl went small with Brewer early which paid immediate dividends for Denver's anemic offense. I worry about where else Brewer will play if the Nuggets can't bring him back because this is just too fun to watch.
|JaVale McGee, C 16 MIN | 1-4 FG | 0-0 FT | 10 REB | 1 AST | 2 STL | 4 BLK | 0 TO | 2 PTS | +18
Much like Brewer did for the offense, we saw a drastic change in the Denver defense pre-McGee and post-McGee. Denver was flat out soft in the paint until his resounding arrival in the second quarter with three huge blocks. JaVale capped off a nice night with an improved effort on the defensive glass and his second straight game with no turnovers
|Evan Fournier, SG 18 MIN | 3-8 FG | 0-0 FT | 0 REB | 3 AST | 0 STL | 1 BLK | 1 TO | 6 PTS | +20
He should have played much more. Fournier was assertive with the ball in his hands and was the Nuggets second-best creator behind Iguodala. He wasn't great on defense and didn't have his shot going but the guy showed remarkable poise under pressure and has a knack for finding Denver the right kind of shots. With Lawson out and the offense quite frankly struggling under an overused Andre Miller, he could use more minutes.
|George Karl
Karl waited way too long to get Miller out of the game. Other than that, his adjustments worked and he got the most out of a small Brewer-Chandler lineup San Antonio had no answer for. He's pushing his players hard and getting results, but Koufos, Miller, and Chandler all looked gassed after long second-half stints with no relief. Karl should be more trusting of his bench, who clearly got him the win and turned around one of the most dreadful starts in recent memory.
After news broke that Danilo Gallinari would be sidelined for the remained of the year (and well into the 2013-14 season) with a torn ACL, questions arose in the minds of Nuggets fans across the globe. There has been talk about who will step up in his place, whether the Nuggets are severely weakened and even speculation about how this will affect the team's roster moves this off-season. In RMC's latest 5-on-5 our writers aim to address these topics in hopes of shedding some light (and perhaps even a little optimism) on how the Nuggets will fare moving forward without their starting small forward. As always, please feel free to post your answers to the following five questions in the comments section below.
Taking the pulse of the Nuggets every weekend
The Nuggets lost Danilo Gallinari to a season-ending knee injury this week and Ty Lawson has not yet returned to action, but the team rallied behind the play of Corey Brewer, Andre Igoudala, and rookie Evan Fournier to go undefeated over three games. Wednesday's game in Utah showcased the Nuggets depth, with seven players scoring in double digits in a seventeen point win. Gallinari tore his ACL just before halftime the next night against Dallas and the Nuggets looked to be on the way to defeat after trailing for most of the game, but a late offensive rebound by Corey Brewer set up Iguodala's go-ahead bucket and a last-second block by Brewer sealed the win. Denver fell behind the Rockets by double digits in the first quarter on Saturday, but Evan Fournier and Corey Brewer sparked two big runs that turned the game into a fourth quarter blowout.
Record this week: 3-0 (2-0 home, 1-0 road)
Current record and standings: 53-24, third seed in the Western Conference, 1.5 games ahead of Memphis and 2.5 games ahead of the Clippers
Upcoming games: Wednesday vs San Antonio, Friday at Dallas
After falling behind by double digits early, the Nuggets turned up the energy and outworked a tired Rockets team, outscoring them by 28 points over the last three quarters to win easily.

The second round of the 2011 SideLion Report Detroit Lions player of the year tournament is underway! Take a look at the bracket.
The first second round matchup on the defensive side features one player that received a first round bye and one player that knocked off a mild upset as far as the seeding was concerned. Who will move on to the Sweet 16?
(2 seed) Kyle Vanden Bosch vs. (10 seed) Nick Fairley
The Detroit Lions have undergone a change on the field and in attitude since Jim Schwartz took over and a big part of that transition happened when the team signed Kyle Vanden Bosch as a free agent two years ago. His first season with the team was cut short by a neck injury but he bounced back to record 8 sacks in 2011, his highest sack total in four years and the third highest total of his 10 seasons. KVB also forced four fumbles and was credited with 35 tackles.
Nick Fairley's professional career got off to a disappointing start with a training camp foot injury. He finally made his debut in week five on Monday Night Football and played in ten regular season games from there on out. Fairley finished the year with 15 tackles and one sack but showed some brilliant flashes that indicates his future is as bright as was expected on draft day.
Who should advance to the third round of the 2011 SideLion Report Player of the Year Tournament?
- Kyle Vanden Bosch (80%, 24 Votes)
- Nick Fairley (20%, 6 Votes)
Total Voters: 30
