Finish: Solistone Mission Tiles


solistone has an amazing mission line of hand-painted ceramic tiles. if these were porcelain i would use them on my front steps, but where i live it is not a good idea to use ceramic outside. they pop off in the winter...which is what the previous owner's of my house used. suck. BUT, i could use these when i decide to redo my kitchen. wouldn't these look cute in my little meditteranean stucco house?! i think so. i like taking into consideration the historical finishes that would have been in my house and modernizing them a little. see the rest of the line here.

Accessory: OLED clock


It’s black, it’s white, but it won’t be tough for you to get by with this ingenious light-sensitive OLED clock that automatically shifts colors so that it is readable by day or night. The perfect antidote to boring digital wall clocks, the Black & White Clock can be stuck to any surface and displays the time using energy-efficient Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLED). Depending on whether it is light or dark out, the clock will shift colors so it can be viewed at any time of day. (via inhabitat)

Finish: Olive Wood Floor


i'm having some work done to the back room of my house. we had a leak and that sucks, but we are getting basically a whole new room for not that much money over what the insurance company gave us. yesterday i picked out the flooring, which i found at a great cheap flooring place in town. it was labeled olive wood, but it is almost an ebony and looks more like this ebony macassar pictured above. i'm so excited. they are installing today. whoopee!!!

Interior: The Modern Wing


while in chicago last week i got to finally see the modern wing addition to the art institute of chicago. i've been dying to go since i found out i was going to chicago this summer. my niece snapped the shot above which i feel really captures the scale and light of the space. renzo piano is an amazing artist and i love his designs. he incorporated natural light through, "the building's unique sunshade, popularly referred to as the "flying carpet," filters daylight into the upper-level gallery spaces. Composed of computer-modeled blades developed specifically for the Art Institute's location, the screen saves electricity consumption while helping to achieve ideal lighting conditions during the day." the modern collection is amazing and i love getting to see my favorite modern masterpieces in person. find out more about the modern wing here.
