Sublime MCM Living Room.

This room is so sublime I had to share.  Clean, bright, minimal without being plain, warm and inviting.  Check out that patterned wall!  Courtesy here

Minimalist Modern Barstool Hunt.

Happy New Year everyone!  I've had the bug to change some things up in my home for awhile now, so I'll use the new year as an excuse to "freshen up"...right?   

My latest hunt is for modern, minimal, backless barstools.  Say that 5 times fast.  I've been browsing Craigslist obsessively, just waiting for that ultimate score to pop up and pounce on. Hasn't happened yet. ;D  

In the meantime, I've browsed and found some pretty dreamy chairs, but put a huge emphasis on the "dream" part. Check out the prices for beauty like this!  Oh, my champagne taste and beer budget conundrum.  Sigh.  

Smith Barstool $449

Kami Barstool $498

Crescent Barstool $130 

Not too badly priced actually

Carney Barstool $480 for 4 

Not bad either, but I only need 2.

Knoll Twist Stool $723

Knoll Chip Barstool $523

Mid Century Modern Cat Bed.

In the midst of all the sadness and disbelief over the horrendous Sandy Hook, CT. shootings, this silly mid century modern cat bed made me laugh. I thought I'd share it.

How perfect is this?  Sure, why shouldn't kitty have a period-perfect bed of her/his own...complete with floating nightstands and bedding?  I'm truly Laughing Out Loud!

Shell Residence. Japan.

Yes, this modern masterpiece is someone's home.  I'm pretty speechless at the moment, so all I will say is "Wow".
