Rain Shine House

Welcome to the Rain Shine House in Atlanta Georgia.  Check out the cool rain-collection system!  I love the interesting perspectives from the different levels.  The windows awash the space with light and from the exterior, it also looks to be one with nature.

Chair porn

Visit DesireToInspire!
Last weekend I saw a couple to-die-for mid-century modern chairs that I had to leave in the shops because I cannot justify owning more chairs. This has had me thinking about chairs, and I realized it has been far too long since my last chair porn post.

Visit ApartmentTherapy!

Trestle, from Swedish designers at TAF Arkitektontor, is a simple collection of multi-functional, adaptable furniture elements. The brightly-colored, cast metal trestle brackets are designed to hold wooden legs — the length of which help determine the end use. We’ve seen lots of creative uses for sawhorses, but the simplicity of this design is especially [...]

Mike Witt

Visit DesireToInspire!

Mike Witt designs rooms with a modern aesthetic with more than a nod to mid-century influences. Is it obvious that he has spent years of studying, buying and selling 20th century decorative and fine arts? To me these spaces are classics of the future. Even though he uses finishes that may be thought cold [...]

These are great examples of integration of internal spaces with the outdoors, so important in climates like Australia’s. It’s all to do with sympathetic orientation, materials [...]
