Happy Easter Sunday – Being an (non-religious) architecture fanatic, I bring you these wonderful examples of renovated Churches turned into homes. This example, formerly the Christian Reformed Church of Everett is owned by a couple who had the home “reblessed” after renovations. The first floor is made up of 2,600 — Continue reading
I love Pussy Willows and Forsythia, having grown up in eastern Pennsylvania, these two spring branch (flowering) plants were spring bouquet staples.

I’m a big fan of Erwin Redl’s work, it’s architectural, eye-catching, kinetic and made of light. What’s not to like? So when I saw Leo Villareal’s work, I was instantly in love.

Over 100 of Andy Warhol’s “Brillo Boxes” have been found to be “different” from others… Yes it’s a rather strong claim – The board avoids using words such as “fake” or “inauthentic” in its report, nor would it say whether or not it will stamp any boxes presented to it — Continue reading
(Etsy: ArgyleWhale) When it comes to design, we forget that it is handmade, just in a different way. Certainly this had some labor involved in its making. (NYT Logo – made of chairs) But design can be fun and lite (or light). Design can be inspired from anywhere and anything. — Continue reading
