LUCID STEAD MIRROR HOUSE. Amazing Installation from the artist Phillip K.
Smith III in Joshua Tree (CA). I love the fact that all the mirrors put on the house reflect everything around and make dissapear the house in the landscape, or make it look like it was an unfinished house.

Related ARRAN GREGORY sculptures I looooooooove diamond shapes, so it's natural that i'm totally in love with Arran Gregory's mirror sculptures (he's super cute by the way), a London based sculptor and illustrator. In "ART" Soul Mirror I love these sculptures from Kevin Francis Gray...it's modern but you still have this tragic style.

Unlikely: The Impossible and Improbable Objects of Giuseppe Colarusso. In this ongoing series titled Unlikely, artist and photographer Giuseppe Colarusso imagines bizarre and humorous objects, each of which is either technically impossible, improbable, or simply useless in its proposed design.
Colarusso tells me via email that many of the pieces he fabricates himself, however some are digitally created in Photoshop. So what’s the point? He hopes each image will make you stop, think and hopefully bring a smile to your face, which is definitely a worthy cause. Also, I would pay top dollar for that spray paint can with adjustable hue sliders, so could somebody make that? See some 50+ additional concepts over on his website.

One day if when I have entirely way too much money, after many generous donations to needy animals, here are some of the things I shall splurge on… Lazy river inside the house?
Um, absolutely. Source My own island yacht? But, of course. Source This bunk bed to have the top as a reading nook! Source This shower for sure. Source Slides as a means of transportation throughout the house, to go down at least… Source And amazing staircases to go back up!

Bodnant Garden Conwy North Wales UK. This is a selection of photographs all taken on the same day in just a small part of this important garden that occupies an area of over 80 acres, most of which was first laid out by Henry Davis Pochin from 1874 onwards until his death in 1895.
Bodnant Hall had been built in 1792 but was remodelled by Pochin and on his death it was inherited by his daughter (whose husband became the First Lord Aberconway in 1911). The garden, but not the Hall or other parts of the estate, was presented to the National Trust, with an endowment, in 1949. The Hall remains the home of Lord Aberconway, and members of his family continue to be actively involved in the management of the garden on behalf of the National Trust.
Pooktre Tree Shapers — DIY Succulent Pallet Table. Max with the new Succulent Table.
Can you believe that our latest DIY project was once just a couple of junky pallets and some scrappy table legs? Crazy…if I didn’t have photos, I wouldn’t believe it myself. Not too long ago, we whipped out a coffee table sized succulent table out of an old shipping crate. Now we scaled it up. The pallets. First bit of advice, deconstructing pallets are a big pain unless you have the right tools…and our hammer and wall scrapper wasn’t quite doing the trick.
Couple good planks. Love the scares of time left on these chunks of pallet wood. Attaching the legs. After pulling apart two pallets, we used the 2 x 4 sized boards to make a rectangular frame to attached the appropriated table legs. Dry run for fittings. Like TV magic (and 2 days later), the table was more or less put together. Megan with some semps. After a weekend of slivers and sweat, we finally got to plant this baby. Getting messy. Installation. Photo via Scotiabank Nuit Blanche Photo courtesy Ryan Davey As part of Scotiabank Nuit Blanche in Toronto this weekend, an enormous reconfiguration of Chinese artist Ai Weiwei’s Forever Bicycles (previously here and here) was unveiled in the center of Nathan Phillips Square.
The installation dominates the outdoor space, measuring 100 feet long by 30 feet wide and consists of some 3,144 bicycles, resulting in so much depth and volume the piece almost appears blurred. Via Scotiabank Nuit Blanche: If you happen to be in Toronto the piece will be up through October 27, 2013.
