Also, his work is spectacular. After opening up his studio, Brad Ascalon — Continue reading
I like the graphic POP of Peter Dayton’s surfboard inspired painted glossy panels. Looks cool in the room, right?
We don’t profess to know a lot of about fashion, but one thing that eludes us every year is what sort of winter coat to buy. Depending on where you live in the world, this could even be a potentially life-threatening or life-saving decision, so there’s a lot riding on — Continue reading
Though the hardcore “industrial” trend in interiors is no longer the thing to incorporate in a space, we do see remnants of this tough-looking interior design style still pop up from time to time (and more and more recently, if this Shelter Pop post will have us believing), and occasionally, — Continue reading
Zen and fantasy were the main words for Philippe Starck when he renovated the eclectic decoration of La Corniche, a 12 rooms small hotel in the South of France. The goal of his project was clear from the beginning: to respect the site’s connection to the beauty of its origin, — Continue reading
With more people working remotely, and entrepreneurs needing that extra room that the house just did not come with, the OfficePOD is a great solution. You would have the convenience of being at home while really being in a corner of your own backyard. Now that is a commute I — Continue reading

Batman and Robin. Captain and Tennille. Liz Lemon and Jack Donaghy. The world’s history is filled with pairs of people who when combined, create such a dynamic duo of creativity and wonder that we all get to partake in their joy. In the design world, we have the pair of — Continue reading
Milk Glass is the ultimate vintage collectible. Recently I have started recognizing how modern and beautiful this glass truly is.

Much like the actual structures that today’s mystery designer’s style was named after, this designer’s work reached for the sky, soared to new heights and wowed viewers all over the country—though probably with fewer craned necks. What are we talking about? Perhaps today’s clues to our Modern designer will help — Continue reading

This past week has been a nightmare at work. All of those horror stories about poopy clients that my professors used to tell me in college are coming true! The only relief I have is to scour the internets for design that is successful and beautiful to makes sure all — Continue reading
Where would the world be without awnings? Folks would get soaked trying to get into their homes in a rain storm. Front rooms would get hot due to the unforgiving sun pouring right in. Some building facades would look boring. Awnings are hardly a new invention, and while we like — Continue reading
The swinging ‘60s were an exciting-filled time of politics, music, style and space travel. The idea that Mid-Century Modern design was influenced by the knowledge that man could travel to space hasn’t been fully explored yet, but we think it’s safe to say that flying to the moon captured the — Continue reading
