Friday Lighting
Notch Pendant by Superequipe
A beautiful pendant that casts amazing light by transitioning a solid material into a slotted or “notched” reveal of the light inside. Stunning.
The Homes of Creatives
Garage Conversion by Michelle de la Vega
Michelle acted as her own general contractor and converted this basic garage into an amazing 250 sq ft home (now her vacation home). Check out the original garage in the last photo or there are more progress photos over at Houzz.
Monday: Modern In Nature
Stacked Cabin by Johnsen Schmaling Architects
Another modern retreat from JSA, this time in the remote woods of Muscoda, WI. Built into the sloping hillside it was kept to a compact size for budget reasons. Total size: 880 sq ft.
Camouflage House by Johnsen Schmaling Architects
A stunning lake house set in the woods of Green Lake, Wisconsin
One of the worst things you can do to your creatives, artists, and designers is treat them like plumbers, mechanics, and janitors, held to the expectations of magicians, wizards, and geniuses.
I had blogged about the patterned wall I was going to create for our nursery last week, and here is the progress. I’m about 60% done and it is looking awesome! (I’m in the photo for size reference)
Water Map sink by Julia Kononenko
A concept sink or art installation using the streets of London.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
Diamonds by JSPR
Industrial meets elegance in a wire pendant available in gold or black.
Log Pattern
I created this pattern for the feature wall of our nursery. Pretty happy with how it turned out. This is the full wall: 8’ tall and 10’ 10” wide so it will really be a big graphic pattern. Cool gray 3c wall with white hand painted logs (outlining them with a stencil first).
