Stairs


Pinned Image   
Love the clean lines.

great idea for stairs
Combination storage and little nook!

shelves under stairs = great reading nook
I need this. So much wasted space under stairs...

Two story closet
A two story closet is ALWAYS amazing.

Painted ceiling!
I love the winding stairs, like a river.
Plus beams on the ceiling.

North Brother Island, abandoned leper colony in NY.  Story and photos

Amazing wine cellar. Never ending stairs to wine!

adore this house - from BHG

EM


Sitting in the car, waiting for a meeting to start. I have been playing with the idea of initials (I already have an "L"building), they are incorporated so much in interiors, why not whole buildings? This one is an elementary school, with a drop off out front, and playgrounds in the back. I would like to make the edges come to a point (like a lightening bolt), but I don't know how people feel about small children and pointed buildings....

p.s. please excuse the smudges, gel pen will do that to you.

Book Cases/Nooks

I am having a bit of a bookcase/nook obsession today..... I love the idea of custom spaces, especially little nooks to curl up with a book in.


The custom bookcase I made for my cousin that fits perfectly into the nook in his room.

It also fits him perfectly so lets hope he is done growing. 















great idea for stairs             A nook AND an office?! From a closet?! 
This rocks!!

    For the kids.  I hope we have girls :)
  Love this reading nook    Round bookshelf


Sad to report, these will not fit in the new bedroom.
But I still LOVE the idea.

Mexico Double Steel Lattice

This man is amazing. Michel Rojkind designed Tori Tori, a Japanese restaurant in Mexico City.

I am in awe.

Detail of the illuminated facade (Paúl Rivera) Amazing. Installation of the outer grille (Rojkind Arquitectos) I want to climb it.

Under the double steel lattice, the building sides are all glass. I would love to sit in this restaurant and just watch the floor change over the course of the day!

John Lewis why do you live in the UK????

I was looking for lighting for my new bedroom and I came across Mr. John Lewis. I fell in love. But Mr. Lewis lives in the UK and does not ship to the US. Alas, my ceiling will be left bare.
