Vintage Antique Bulb, E27 Base, 40 Watt, 130 Volt, Clear, EDISON STYLE. MY NEW LIVING ROOM! Here’s what my living room looked like the day i moved all the stuff in. nothing looked right. isn’t it wild how you get a new space and it feels like so much of the old furniture just doesn’t work anymore?

MY NEW LIVING ROOM!

(maybe i was buying the wrong things?) Our loft was so industrial. tall ceilings, dark colors…i knew we had a big job ahead of us and i didn’t even know where to start. i wanted to do a post about my last 5 living rooms in los angeles (to show the hilarious progression and style shifts) but the past photos are so terrible i don’t know if i can bring myself to do it (who knows, maybe i can be swayed.) so this is the place where i hang out on the couch for hours now. my friend emily and i struck up a trade…she helps me design my living & dining room (because i know what i like, it’s just hard for me to decide where everything goes. and i felt overwhelmed with the task. and she’s also the vintage furniture queen. i knew she could make my place much better than if i did it myself!)

40 Architects' Business Cards for Delivering Your Message the Creative Way

After some serious research, we gathered a series of architects’ business cards that defy patterns and stand out in any wallet. As you can see in the photos below, most of them feature architecture-related imprints, others even come with an integrated small 3D house. Black, white, gray and blue are the colors preferred by architects when choosing a business card, but who says one has to be this sober? Sometimes bold colors may induce the idea of bold projects and this could eventually attract daring clients and briefs. Lit Motors – Rekindle the Excitement.

Earthscrapers: Is Going Down Instead Of Up A Greener Way To Build? Evolo/via Every year, TreeHugger and all the architectural websites troll through the Evolo competition entries, looking for the most imaginative work from young architects with time on their hands.

Earthscrapers: Is Going Down Instead Of Up A Greener Way To Build?

Sometimes you just have to shake your head and wonder at the creativity and drawing skills. In 2010, I did not pay a lot of attention to Bunker Arquitectura's proposal for Earthscraper, an upside down pyramid in downtown Mexico City. Bunker Arquitectura/via It was not a new idea, and it was not the best iteration of it that I had seen. Earthscraper has become the architectural equivalent of a shot heard ’round the world. She spoke with Jeremy Faludi, who had some issues with the concept: I think it would work much better in a dry area in a northern, colder climate, where solid ground keeps you warm, and the glass top acts as a greenhouse. Evolo/via I discounted it at the time for some of the same reasons; while I admired the density, I didn't think it resolved the environmental issues. Evolo/via. Stunning Leaf House in Brazil. Saffire Freycinet - Australia's Most Exciting New Resort.

OMG!

Saffire Freycinet - Australia's Most Exciting New Resort

This is insane! Those were the most common — and in some situations the only — comments we made during our stay at Saffire Freycinet, the luxury resort that just-opened on Tasmania’s East Coast in Australia. Very few resorts manage to get all the ingredients right when opening but we can assure you, this beauty of a hotel has ticked all the right boxes. We were literally left speechless — and that takes some doing — as we feasted our eyes on the breathtaking vistas, indulged our senses in our gorgeous suite and in the spa, and devoured the food that made any thought of a diet ridiculous. A four-hour walk on the pristine beach helped, too. These were the first notes we scribbled just after departing: “Expectations were far exceeded. In the suite, the amazing bathroom was all marble with heated tiles.

One of the highlights of our stay was Saffire’s restaurant Palate. Rates start from $1550 per night, per suite for 2 people and includes dinner, all beverages. Flintstones House.
