how amazing is the Melbourne Recital Centre by Ashton Raggatt McDougal architects? absolutely amazing! (via thecoolhunter)
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.
i found this office by M.MAS.A while searching for cool ceiling ideas. i think it's amazing. plus, i'm a sucker for dark floors and stark walls.
i love this new aqua cil line from artemide designed by Ross Lovegrove. the shade design is influenced by water which is also used to create this beautiful design. i think the suspension is my favorite!
this table designed by line depping makes me smile.
The table top slide open mechanism allows you to tidy your desk in an instant whilst also providing a useful storage compartment for cables and alike. the flexible inlay also acts as a screen for privacy. (via design year book)
this pallet compost bin at instructables is perfect for those of you that want to compost, don't want to spend $300 on a fancy composter, and want your compost pile to not be an eye sore. i love this project because it not only looks great but it also recycles pallets!

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)

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!!!

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.
i love the beasties lamp at habitat. the acid etched metal shade is full of figures of animals which i think is pretty adorable.

what we ate at the taste of chicago by hey hey helen
by the time this posts i should be in chicago. i love chicago. it's my place of birth, where both of my parents were born and raised, and my favorite vacation spot...especially when i'm trying to escape the alabama summers. we don't have a lot on our agenda, but we will definitely hit the taste of chicago. just look at the yummy dishes they offer. i also want to see the new modern wing at the art institute by renzo piano. i'll update you with photos and posts when i get back on tuesday! have a happy fourth of july!

those of you that know me know that i have a weakness for star wars with a special affection for chewbacca and storm troopers. ask to hear my chewbacca impression next time. i even have a few figures on my desk at work to make me happy daily. the first time i saw the work of chris mcveigh i was smitten. it's absolutely wonderful and the work with chipmunks is remarkable. it's all real...no photoshop to get the chipmunks in place. amazing! check out chris's site here.
