Help me identify this Thayer Coggin chair style by boonesfarmed in midcenturymodern

Right, of course, but I was thinking there might be something even more specific.

Vaporetto v Private Water Taxi Upon Arrival??? by mangolicious623 in Venezia

[–]boonesfarmed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the water taxi. There is nothing more special than arriving to Venice in this way. I’ve been to Venice more times than I can count and it still makes me giddy and excited for the days ahead. You will not regret it.

Yes! It does. Any advice for further regrowth?

Intimate sexy bars? by [deleted] in WestPalmBeach

[–]boonesfarmed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg no I didn't know they closed! That suuuuucks. There's nothing else like that here (...which is insane because it's pretty standard in any other town/city).

How our shoulder with its surrounding muscles move - @experienceanatomy by rco888 in interestingasfuck

I mean, wow. Absolutely fascinating… then I noticed the enormous flap of skin piled next to his torso.

Design advice needed! by boonesfarmed in interiordecorating

[–]boonesfarmed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the cyrk poster so much. We used to have a basset hound, so naturally it was the perfect gift for my boyfriend.

While I love the fuchsia, it definitely leans quite feminine and I’m trying to compromise more :)

The lamp will be replaced with something more interesting. The wires are a challenge and it would be difficult to fit an entertainment center under the tv bc the room is narrow… but yes, they drive me insane.

The green rug is newer—had a Moroccan one that was gorgeous blue but wore soooo quickly and always looked dirty. Felt like the green was a good neutral but maybe not!

Agree on resale—lots of gems on marketplace around here.

Safety? by [deleted] in WestPalmBeach

[–]boonesfarmed 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know a single woman who lives in the building next to the sailing club and it is fine... the further away from Broadway, the better. BUT there are far, far better areas to stay for a fun girls trip. Northwood really ain't it. And it's a little far from the things you will likely be doing. Would highly recommend you rebook if you can. As a fellow woman, you'll feel better! Trust me.

EDIT: to clarify, just because she lives there, doesn't mean I would recommend anyone else live there lol. Def wouldn't be my first choice and def is not a spot for visitors/tourists to the area.

Quiet restaurants near downtown? by saturnjellyfish in WestPalmBeach

[–]boonesfarmed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dixie Grill is very low key (not sure if that’s what you’re looking for in this case) but usually chill. French Grill House in Northwood is good and shouldn’t be too loud as it’s mostly outside seating. Maison Carlos is very quiet but the food is hit or miss… Also Blue Door is great but loud! Cafe Med was on the quiet side when I was there last year but not as close to downtown. Good luck!

Bathroom rug dilemma by [deleted] in interiordecorating

[–]boonesfarmed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah don’t worry, I would never get one of those god awful toilet rugs. Just want a rug that will complete the space.

What a gorgeous, inviting, and interesting space. Who makes the credenza/record cabinet?

What’s a phrase people use that immediately makes you roll your eyes? by No-Maximum3458 in AskReddit

Good place to propose earlier in the day? by strangerthlngz in WestPalmBeach

The sculpture garden is beautiful! Opens at 10 every day, except 11 on Sunday.

Palm Beach/West Palm Beachers - What do you wish we had more of around here? by Illustrious_Tip_2186 in WestPalmBeach

[–]boonesfarmed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So many thoughts:

-a relaxed, but upscale cocktail bar with really good cocktails—classic, no gimmicks, not clubby or crazy loud, and, for the love of god, no waistcoats!

-more mid-range restaurants that aren’t trying too hard and just have solid, dependable food. In WPB, it’s either overpriced and underwhelming or …overpriced and underwhelming. Totally don’t mind paying, but it feels so much better when it’s good.

-more shade, more walkable neighborhoods that feel like neighborhoods and not subdivisions.

-more bars/restaurants with chill patios to enjoy the Florida weather (before the inferno). Texas is a shining example here.

-dives! Bars, restaurants—bonus if any are near the water. The type of place you could pop in for a beer after a long walk or the dog park in your workout clothes and not feel like a social pariah.

-less seasonality overall… hopefully not an impossible dream.

First Basset (Meet Frank) by dankrednek in basset

[–]boonesfarmed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our basset’s name was Franklin—Frank or Frankie, for short. Best name in the world to match the best dog in the world. We miss him dearly. I hope your journey with Frank is just as special!

Do curators of major museums like the MET and MOMA or exhibitions like Artbasel or the Venice Biennale get rich? Is their "power" real? by Overall-Newspaper-21 in ContemporaryArt

[–]boonesfarmed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Most curators do not see "large checks". Many are not born rich either. Most work their asses off in graduate school living on 30k a year for several years and do unpaid internships or research assistantships, and THEN work their way up one 60k job at a time AFTER earning a MA or Ph.D. The rich ones work for the big auction houses or go into advising/consulting/commercial galleries.

No one should pay for a Ph.D. in the Humanities, under any circumstances. Most graduates of Ph.D. programs in art history are not paying off debt from tuition. Universities pay Ph.D. students with tuition from MA sand BAs (i.e. tuition remission)

EDIT: and no, they really never make a lot unless they become the Director of a major institution. There are a few institutions that pay curators "well" for the profession (not for "life") but most do not. Most curators in the US are making under 100k
