If you spend any time on the Olson Kundig Architect website you will most certainly fall in love with one of their homes. The work out of this firm is appreciated on blogs throughout the world, but the homes themselves are more often than not built in Washington. Lucky them.
I recently spent some time up at my father’s NH property and couldn’t help but think that this building, the Delta Shelter, would look beautiful perched somewhere on a hillside.
Project Details: This 1,000 square-foot weekend cabin, basically a steel box on stilts, can be completely shuttered when the owner is away. Situated near a river in a floodplain, the 20’ x 20’ square footprint rises three stories and is topped by the living room/kitchen. Large, 10’ x 18’ steel shutters can be closed simultaneously using a hand crank.

The newest work from EveryGuyed, in collaboration with Suitored and Moxy Creative House, is a collection of movies moments explained by their signature drinks. Ranging from The Hangover’s recent rufilin mishap to A Menace to Society’s classic 40-ounce malt liquor bottle. My favorites are below, but you can view all the drinks in more detail here. Available for purchase here.

I suppose the sneakers from Society 27 should be the story here, but for me it’s all about this gorgeous packaging, since the shoes is something normally see in places like ShoeAdviser site online. I’m a sucker for wood. What can I say. No doubt this isn’t the cheapest nor the most environmentally form of packaging I’ve ever seen produced. But, man….it sure is beautiful to look at.

Here are a few unique lighting options that caught my eye recently:
–Sarah
Michelle James’ globe chandeliers. I want this…just saying. I love the modern look combined with the vintage glass light fixtures. (via Remodelista)
Modern lighting by Mischer’Traxler. These would be great in a studio space. (via dezeen)
Original BTC lighting. It’s all beautiful but I thought these were especially unique. (via elements of style)

Santa brought my family a trip to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which is where I was last week. We had such blast at Universal Studios and I was blown away with all the details of the Harry Potter section of the park; everything from the rides, the buildings, the costumes, the food/drinks—it all gave the feeling that you were in Harry Potter’s world. Even my dad, who is not a fan, was impressed. From a designer’s perspective the signage and packaging was gorgeous and seemed very authentic. Some of my favorite things were drinking Butterbeer, going inside shops like Zonko’s, Honeyduke’s and Ollivanders and riding the Dragon Challenge rollercoaster. Here are a few pictures from the trip.
P.S. If you are headed to the park anytime soon, message me and I’ll give you some tips on what to do first, etc. because boy is it crowded!

We have all heard jokes about Detroit and it’s woeful ways as a city. Fact is, the city of Detroit has become synonomis with failure. But, what I’m sure most of us don’t realize is that Detroit was once home to some of the most amazing structures in the country. Remarkably and thankfully, most of these structures are still standing and waiting for an unforseen day when they can be brought back to splendor.
This decay has been wonderfully captured by photographers Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre.
