Here's a stunning summer cottage in the Baltic Island of Gotland. I love the simple treatments and major architectural statements. The loft is amazing, and I really like the light and airy kitchen. The important thing to consider when trying to achieve a space like this is super smooth walls (this requires skim coating) and nice floors of a high quality, such as a nice real wood. The large windows...Read more

I probably played Tetris for hours on end in 6th grade. I have been reacquainted with Tetris recently while at a friend's house who still has her old Nintendo, so it's great to see it being used here in a home application. I'm not quite sure it would be a match in my home, but I do really love the idea. Perfect for a kids bath perhaps? [posted by kris]...Read more

I stumbled upon the I29 architecture portfolio today and I have to say that I was blown away by how they created lovely, small spaces which in which every detail is considered. In this space they managed to fit a tiny kitchen in a very narrow space without it looking like they were skimping on anything. Another thing I noticed while perusing the portfolio is that they seem to use...Read more

First, the handle end of the tool can be used for measuring out portions pasts, secondly the "fork" end of the tool is used to pick up your pasta and sauce, and finally you can grate your parmesan...Read more

This is one lovely table so I suppose it should come as no surprise that it hits right over the 3 grand mark. Designed by Maurizio Marconato and Terry Zappa, the Branch Table (2007) has a hand-cut, hand-joined solid wood base that was inspired by Charles Paul Landon’s 1799 painting “Daedalus and Icarus.” In the painting, the shape of the mythological characters’ wings is both graceful and bold, which the...Read more

These highly innovative pillows change colors when touched (black to green / blue, red to violet, burgundy to purple). Simply place your hand or body on the pillows and your natural heat will cause the thermosensitive layers to react. Only the touched area will temporarily change color; the original look will reappear within...Read more
