apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

George Carlin died today.

I'm weeping.

Checkerboard floor idea...white and WOOD, looks GREAT:

Found that idea looking for something completely different (which I did not find either).

Thought that maybe someone could use that idea!

If you need a bit more Eames in your life, check out the Plywood Chair stamped necklace here:

Could anyone point me to where I might find the plants shown on the shelf here http://www.crateandbarrel.com/catalogue/viewOnline.aspx?catalog_name=summersale2008 for sale?

thanks

ckg...are you talking about the plants in the white planters on the cover? The one w/white flowers is kalanchoe and comes in different colors.

I was just visiting another blog:
http://lotushaus.typepad.com/lotushaus/home_decor/index.html

And the top article is on making your own Trend Board online:

I can't try it out right now, as their site is down for maintenance. However, I thought it could be a very handy tool, especially for folks doing a Style Tray for The Cure whenever they need to redo a room.

Somewhere there was a discussion about the outsides of apartments and did the outside style have to influence the inside style...

Here's a great example of the outside and inside being VERY DIFFERENT!!!

Another jewel of a website with fabulous treasures:

It might take folks a few moments to figure out how the site works.

Things you didn't know that could be done with suede and leather are done with surprising results.

Another fabulous find. This is an architect's site, Tommie Wilhelmsen, full of the kinds of designs that most folks on AT would like:
http://www.tommie-wilhelmsen.no/prosjekter?c=1

How to navigate:
Use the pop-up menu to select a project, located in the lower left area. The first one is:
01 Villa Hellearmen

And right below that, there are numbers:
01 02 03 04 05 06

Those are for the images for Villa Hellearmen.

And yes, the 03 project did scare me. I didn't see the barrier at first.
http://www.tommie-wilhelmsen.no/prosjekter/208

No, I haven't looked at it all. There are FORTY projects in all. Many seem to be drawings or models. But the shapes are very interesting. Especially the way they are worked INTO the landscape.

Or this one, project 06, third image, where the floor becomes the wall, becomes the ceiling.
http://www.tommie-wilhelmsen.no/prosjekter/207

Check out all three here (project 39):
http://www.tommie-wilhelmsen.no/prosjekter?c=46

Yeah. It's a development. How many folks here on AT would want to live in a development like that? Cool, huh?
