Snapshot: Old School Beauty

It’s been a long and kind of lame weekend. You know what always cheers me up…

This house. This light. These trees. It never fails me - in fact, I’m feeling better already. Thank goodness for me never tossing bookmarks, Dwell, and Inhabitat.
See all the beauty at Inhabitat.
Don’t forget to enter to win a killer straw […]

Gilmore Trail House Update

Do you remember this cool house?

I posted about this house, the Gilmore Trail House, a while back. Well, Mark Fejes, the fellow who designed and built the home contacted me with an update about it plus some photos. Neat, because if you remember, I noted that I wanted to learn more about it, and […]

Multi-Talented Artist Mark Fejes

I was looking for a work chair for an office blog I write and I found one at an artist’s site…
Work Chair

So, not exactly what I had in mind (imagine this at your computer desk) but cool, right? Of course I start browsing (habit when I see weird furniture) and this artist, Mark Fejes creates […]

Barrels of Fun

Actually, barrels of houses. They are fun though.
The pickle barrel house — think they ever got the smell out?

The beautiful whiskey barrel house — recycled living in Findhorn Foundation Community.

The worst use of an old barrel ever.

Next the most amazing barrel home of all on the most gorgeous land ever.

Dreamy Winter House

Bad news. I lost the info on this house. Long story short my computer recently semi-died and I did a bunch of stuff to it in order to fix it. Second long story short I have the photo but not the back story saved — at least not that I can find at the moment.
The […]

Current Mood: Enthralled With Drew Heath

Before launching into this post I did want to point out one reader’s home in Amsterdam. It’s a very cool boat home with a green roof (as in eco-green — not color green; well, it is green in color too but well, you get the point). Home dweller Andi posted this in an older post […]

Seriously Lust Worthy Lundberg Design House

That title’s not joking around. This home is one of those top ten dream homes you hear about. Well, it’s one of my top ten dream homes anyhow. Actually if you wanted to create a top ten dream structure list you could just visit the Lundberg Design and be perfectly fine. All the work is […]

Rockhill and Associates: Mixing Architecture & Nature

Rockhill and Associates aren’t an entirely sustainable architectural business but they do  incorporate green touches that stand out in their unique structures. They play heavy with how nature and landscape can be utilized with their structures which I like a lot.
Here are some of my favorites; for more information on the eco-incorporations of each project […]

Current Obsession: The Camouflage House

I’ve been drooling over the Camouflage House by Johnsen Schmaling Architects for a good long while now but had some concerns that it wasn’t quite offbeat enough for this blog. The poor house has been languishing in my bookmarks.
Here’s the deal. I’m moving and a little off centered, tired, and frustrated and I want to […]
