I Want To Go To There: How Do You Find Cool Lodging?

blogdig.net — 2012-05-30T13:38:43-04:00

Reading the New York Times Travel section this weekend, I stumbled across a site I hadn’t visited. Now that I have, it is sure to become a giant time-sucker in my life. It’s called DesignTripper.com, and it’s full of carefully curated, unique vacation roosts (houses, inns, B&Bs, even yurts) and restaurants that aren’t likely to earn you any Starwood rewards points.This led me to their post about Fair Folks and a Goat, an amazing shotgun house in New Orleans that has

Materials: EKBY Tryggve and EKBY ValterDescription: For a recent photography exhibition I decided to showcase a book next to some framed work. While a RIBBA picture frame shelf would have sufficed, I wanted something a little more conducive to page turning while the book was stationary, so... I got hacking. You'll need the following, give or take a few items: - 2 x EKBY Tryggve 31 1/8" x 7 1/2" wooden shelves - 2 x EKBY Valter 7 1/8" wooden brackets (I used black here to match my photo

blogdig.net — 2012-05-30T13:29:55-04:00

by Diana BuddsOur June 2012 issue (on newsstands now!) emphazises stunningly designed and thoughtfully crafted interiors, but we think exteriors deserve equal acclaim. Each of the faces of the featured residences embodies a unique character: the dark and steely Housemuseum in Melbourne, Australia, is a 180-degree turn from its soaring interior spaces and crisp, white walls covered in bright artwork; Kathryn Tyler's Falmouth, England, home looks to be a series of stacked volumes from the outside

Color-Backed Decor Bowls

Materials: Hultet Bamboo BowlsDescription: I bought three Hultet decor bowls to hang on my wall but once I got home I realized they were really dull and boring. To remedy this I painted just the back-side of each bowl and then hung them on the wall. It's very subtle but high impact!
