Accessory: Lace Fence

this fence has been on my inspiration wall for some time now. i love how intricate and beautiful an otherwise boring chainlink fench can be and am intrigued at the thought of bringing it inside as a dividing screen. this may not be a typical accessory, but how fun is it to use it as one?!

Architecture: Modern cabin by OSKA

i adore this cabin by olson sundberg kundig allen architects. it's 1,000 square feet, has a footprint that is only 20x20 and is 3 stories. the owner can completely shutter the entire structure while they are away. i love the details including a large outswinging window onto the patio and a movable wall on the living/kitchen floor to adjust privacy.

Finish: Solistone Glass Tile

Solistone has some of the most amazing options for glass tile. Folio glass (above and last photo) is new to their line and is made of recycled stained glass. Below is their pillow glass which I am also drooling over. It's so refreshing to see new sizes in glass tile. Large scale glass has got to be a little more painstaking to install but boy is it beautiful!

Interior: Kate Hume in France

love love love this interior that remodelista posted yesterday!

From Julie:
British-born, Netherlands-based Kate Hume has a way with dark/light interior compositions. We especially like this 17th-century manor house she overhauled to maximize space and light; most of the handcrafted oak furniture is by Birdman, a company she co-founded with her husband, Frans van der Heyden.

dasparkhotel is conceived and implemented primarily as a hospitality tool.
It is constructed from repurposed, incredibly robust drain pipes.
The external simplicity surrounds an unexpectedly comfortable interior - full headroom, double bed, storage, light, power, woolly blanket and light cotton sleeping bag. All other hotelery devices (Toilets, showers, minibar, cafe, etc) are supplied by the surrounding public space.From May through Octoberthe simultaneously functional and comfortable concrete sleep-pipes offer the chance to experience a place in a totally new way.

Furniture: Modern folding table

i love this folding table designed by Jakob Gebert for the Germany-based Moormann. the legs fold for storage under the top and the assembly is extremely easy by fitting the legs in the"v" grooves in the table top.
