I told you that some dudes have great design sense! For proof, check out the unique, flea market-inspired digs of Beautiful Losers filmmaker Aaron Rose, whose Los Angeles home, located in the Silver Lake district, was recently featured in the LA Times. Whether his home is your style or not, you'll have to agree that this guy has a definite design aesthetic, and one that I can appreciate. Tell me what you think when you watch the slideshow. Source

Not all dudes decorate with high school sports trophies and rock posters. In fact, there are some absolutely design-savvy guys in my circle of friends.

How do you define masculine interior design? Does it involve darker colors? Earth tones? Leather? Are antlers involved? Furthermore, have you been influenced or impressed by any of your male friends' design savvy? Tell me by commenting below!

Crave Worthy: Cotswold Chair

You were understandably enthusiastic about the aptly named Lady Chair. However, I have a hard time imagining those of you who cohabitate with a manly man getting even the smallest, riveted corner of the Lady Chair in your door. If that's the case, then I present you with a testosterone-friendly option: the Cotswald Chair ($1,998) from Anthropologie. With a wide seat, leather whose coloring is described as "bourbon," (it doesn't get much more manly than bourbon), and a mahogany finish, this is a chair that even the most furniture-apathetic man can get enthusiastic about.
