Lego Balcony

Lego Balcony
I’ve seen Legos used as design elements and details, but I’ve never seen it look so classy!

… [T]he renovation also brought him something straight out of a toy-store fantasy: a wall and staircase made completely of Legos. Working with Suzan Wines, co-founder of I-Beam Design, Marks dreamed up the concept based on both Archie’s love for the bricks and her own affection for geometric, abstract design and Lego-like colors, which carries through the rest of the apartment. To install the wall, they enlisted Sean Kenney, one of only five people in the country licensed by the Lego company to undertake projects as ambitious as, say, a four-foot, 13,000-piece replica of the Empire State Building. In the end, the building process took Kenney and his two assistants two weeks of fourteen-hour days to complete. The staircase, however, is still something of a work-in-progress, as Archie and his playdates are always adding their own structures to it.

Also, this is my new dream work/art space… all those drawers for prints and paper and supplies!!!

Garden & House


Bringing the indoors outdoors, and the outdoors indoors; I think I found Jack’s new dream home!

The Japanese architect Ryue Nishizawa designed this “Garden & House” in Tokyo on a very small lot of just 8 x 4 m. It doesn’t really have a facade or walls: vases, planters, concrete benches, plexiglass railings, full-height windows and curtains form the boundary between inside and outside.

Oh, all the wonderful possibilities with ixxi tiled wall art! Pixelated or enlargement. Fine art or photography. Collage or patterned.

I’d love to put together a collaged set, featuring our road trip… or my fav NY pictures… or maybe our prints… or Orignaux… I can’t choose!

Field Candy Tents
These tents from Field Candy are fashionable enough to camp inside your own home (which, to be honest, is really the only place I want to be camping)!

What a great idea!

Fostering relationships with NYC decision-makers in film, tv, theater, commercial, and other media production occupations to ensure excess materials are donated to Film Biz Recycling who will re-purpose or place for an extended life.

How to Update a Knock-Off Right

Updating a Knockoff
Obviously this isn’t something you’d do to a real Eames, but Ana had herself a knockoff that was just screaming to be funked-out! That Guatemalan hammock fabric is fantastic!
