I had the opportunity to recently tour a home for sale in Laguna Beach. Built in 1937 in poured concrete, the design is in the "International Style".
I have been on a million modern home tours and believe me, I was not prepared for what I saw. This home is as close to a religious experience as you will get with architecture. Walking through the home was an emotional experience! Aside from a cheap 1970's kitchen makeover, the home is completely original. Good news. See listing HERE
A few ideas from House Beautiful, for sure worth mentioning:
Dark walls do the opposite of what you'd expect: They make a small room feel bigger.Mix up the seating at your dining table. You wouldn't have eight identical chairs in your living area.
Use a rug instead of a bath mat. It was made to withstand a lot more wear than the occasional wet foot.
The fastest way to make over sliding closet doors is to wallpaper them.
Mark your calendars, the opening for "100 Artist See Satan-THE FUNDRAISER": Saturday, June 26, 7pm-10pm at Grand Central Art Center Says the release:
"100 Artists See Satan: The Fundraiser is a fundraiser thinly disguised as an exhibition.
The fundraiser is a devilishly-conceived-to-raise-money spin-off of the critically acclaimed 2004 GCAC exhibition and publication 100 Artists See Satan.
Unlike the original exhibition in this version all the art will be for sale with proceeds supporting the art center.
To raise even more money, the Forum has arranged for Grammy award-winning graphic and packaging designer, Hugh Brown to design Satan’s Credit Card. 666 of these cards will be sold for $50 each (the 666th card, however, will be sold for a hell of a lot of money).
The exhibition will include artists Mark Ryden, Ron English, Todd Schorr, Camille Rose Garcia, Charles Krafft, Hugh Brown, Jeff Gillette, F. Scott Hess, Marnie Weber, CR Stecyk, James Lorigan, Edward Colver, Manuel Pardo, Laurie Hassold, Skot Olson, Nathan Spoor, Bigfoot, Dalek, Bale Creek Allen, Greg Gibbs, Naida Osline and more . . . "
This will be an amazing opportunity to purchase that perfect piece of art you never knew you needed for that one blank spot in your living room!
I love these: "Reworked vintage 6" English saucers combined to create an assemblage of the Seven Deadly Sins or Seven Heavenly Virtues." Buy them on Etsy for $135 per set!!
All warm and cozy and cabin-y, the perfect retreat from the nitty gritty of the city. 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom in slightly under 1,000 sq ft. $499k
