Structural Link Love

I haven’t given any link love in ages. What’s so fly you won’t want to miss it; well…

Munetsugu Hall is so slick, you will faint. I love this concert hall, and you will too. Via The Cool Hunter – Architecture.

MoCo Loco has a wonderful link, Arkitektfirmaet C. F. Møller’s Summerhouse in Kandestederne, which I guess would make this double the link love. Seriously though, the Summerhouse is breathtaking.

Modern Sky Hill Townhomes in Atlanta are showcased at Jetson Green. I’m not a townhouse fan exactly, but I like how these look - unique and green. Here’s a taste:

See and learn more at Jetson Green.

You know, that’s all the link love for the day. My browsing has been cut short this week due to my move. So enjoy the links above, and I’ll see you in a couple days.

Here but not exactly here

I’ll be moving to a new house over the next couple of days. Offbeat readers don’t usually ask too many questions, but if you happen to break that mold over the weekend, and I fail to respond, it’s not because I’m ignoring you, I’m just stuck moving. Trust me, I’d rather hang here (moving bites).

My Internet service should be up and running at my new place by the 2nd or 3rd, so I’ll be back then. Hope you all have a wonderful start of September.

Unique Tents for Events

Sorry about the lack of posts this week folks- servers seem to be extra touchy. I got logged on today though, and that’s good news because I have a killer tent company to share.

Bedouin Freeform Tents is a Australian based company. They create what they call, ““creative fabric engineering solutions.” Which is one way of saying their tents and inflatable designs rock the house. If you needed a tent or inflatable something or other, these would be the folks to call. Their stretchy designs are unique in color and form, which of course can liven any old event - wedding, birthday, company picnic, and more. Take a look at some of their designs…

Who loves this house?

Choose me! ME!

I love this house. Love how it was captured on film. AND I especially love the colors.

You will love it too - but you’ll have to leave me to go see it (copyright, and no time for permission issues.) Yeah, I get impatient. Also, there’s more cool stuff to see at this blog, so it wouldn’t kill you to go look.

See the house!

You can thank me later. Or now if you so choose :)

Better Looking Woodstoves

If you need a woodstove, and you’re thinking typical black is yawn inducing then take a look at these two ideas:

invicta-bohemian-400x421.jpg

invicta-bradford-wood-burning-stove-400x392.jpg

You know what’s weird; I don’t like white; at least not when it comes to white furniture or appliances, and well, I don’t like red anything. But I LOVE these two stoves. The white one is so hmm, so kind of bohemian, or antique looking, without being overly fussy. And the red stove simply pops. (The blue wall helps I’m sure - but still).

These two stoves came from Wood Burning Stoves & Heaters at Appliancist. There’s plenty more to see - so go peek. There are some other very nice, unique stoves.

Christiania - Glass House

My pal Peggy sent me this amazing (yet in need of some work) glass house:

I had not heard of the back story of this house before, but it’s interesting. Read the back story here. Be sure to read through the photo comments, because how the photo was done is pretty cool too.
