Reclaimed re-uses - modern, clever and refreshed....

duh? right?? It's so logical, simple and modern. image courtesy of mod remod. 

Earlier this summer, Dwell mag featured this incredibly cool and curiously tree-house like home. Ever since then, I have been dreaming about the Jakarta domicile and how to re-incarnate the reclaimed sliding doors. I am dying to 're-use' this idea!

Reclaimed Chesnut = rebirth into musical magic. Image found on Salvoweb. A unique site for reclaimed treasures and inspirations.

Is this what I think it is? Modern Chicken coop -- airstream inspired. Found on Jetson Green.

I love the idea of writing notes in fur! By Portuguese designer Goncalo Campos.   

This red table that shows what can happen under a table is maybe one of my favorite things.

Architectural details...subtle and stunning...

 Obsessed with the simplicity and sophistication of the fireplace in this home. Stunning! image courtesy of digsdigs.

I have recently been enamored by Moroccan design influences. I can't stop looking at this image found on modGIRL. The color, the narrow cabinets flanking each side of the vanity...and the pebble-like floor. Arresting! 

Contemporist, one of my favorite blogs, posted a feature on my new architecture crush. Designed by Garett Carlson- this home is packed with subtle surprises.

Adoring the high gloss wood ceiling treatment! Built in Joshua Tree = built in views. I envy the people who get to take advantage of this home...
  

I know Kindles and E-Book readers are what all the cool kids are doing, but I'm still a die-hard book fan. Although, I can only afford one of those cheapo Ikea bookcases, but in my ideal loft apartment, I'll own one of these really cool, modern book cases.

I love the idea behind this über simple pet bed created by the good folks behind Hindsvik, a shop specializing in vintage goods.  Shop owners Daniel and Valeria set out to create a cozy nook for their cat, Lambi, while still maintaining the aesthetic of their modern, Scandinavian-inspired home.  Using plywood, they built a simple cube, re-enforced it with hidden brackets, and then constructed a soft flannel cushion to go inside.

The real reason this bed works so well is the fact that it blends seamlessly with their plywood floors.  You might not be able to achieve such a unified look in your own home, but this is definitely a great jumping off point.  Imagine covering the exterior with a colorful carpet tile - instant scratching post!  Or wallpaper.. or staining it to match your floor.. The possibilities are endless!

Check out Daniel and Valeria's post for a how-to guide and more photos.

Meanwhile, what do you think?  Would something like this work in your home?  How would you customize it?  Share in the comments!
