We love modern. Like, real modern that is sleek and kind of looks like the interior of a space ship. We also like modern in terms of Mid-Century Modern. Retro modern. Shapes and lines that hearken back to that awesome period of design time. So when the two mix? Whoo — Continue reading
Couldn’t find a lot of information about artist and photographer Nini Baseema. We know she’s based in Germany.

What a name! America Martin. Really has a lot of weight to it. It’s the kind of name that a child might feel a large pressure to live up to. Clearly, this America has no problem with that, because, though young, she’s a made a name for herself in the — Continue reading
“Angles is not something this house is lacking in.” “Sheesh, leave some angles for the rest of us!” “If a transformer and the mom from Beetlejuice built a home together, it’d look like this.” These are all possible first sentences we wanted to start this post about the Purple Hill — Continue reading
Simple, clean, bright — Francisca Pageo’s mixed media collages are precious, poignant, pretty and peculiar.

Hooray for tiny modern homes! Well, okay, if the title of this home is any indication, then this is someone’s weekend home and that means they probably have a bigger, even more gorgeous home somewhere else. But, what this architectural design by David Jay Weiner, Architects proves is that you don’t — Continue reading
Never has someone’s art made us so creeped out yet captivated us so fully, as well.

Though creating architecture that looks differently than the surrounding neighborhood is usually a bummer, the folks at Brooks + Scarpa in Los Angeles, California did more than an alright job with the Orange Grove project in West Hollywood.

Artist Jennifer Mehigan seems to have a thing for fire. Which is totally understandable — fire is a weird, mystical, scary, awesome thing.

Live Modern? More like Dream Modern. This house is huge and magical. These are the two words that first came to mind when we looked at it.

The Southhampton Residence by CONTENT Architecture in Houston, Texas certainly doesn’t seem like the sort of architecture you might find in the “everything is bigger” state.
