Mod Farmhouse

This Mod Farmhouse is impressive! I always love a good, raw space. It looks like they use it as a studio. I think it'd make for an incredible guest house, though privacy could be an issue. I really like how the door is a bit unexpected.

What would you use this space for?

Atrium House

Who would guess that anything exciting would be hiding behind that facade?
Well, in Brooklyn, NY, that unsuspecting and industrial looking door leads to a modern home with gorgeous floor to ceiling windows that surround a pretty green atrium.

I love the cement floors with the steel framed windows. I'm not wild about the bedroom paneling at all, but the rest of the house definitely makes up for it.

You can read the whole fairly-fascinating story about how this house came to be, here.

Sometimes Black & White is better

I have a weird, not very exciting confession: I love black and white tile floor. Blame it on my obsession with 3 Men and a Baby (I really hope you get that connection), but I've always imagined having a black and white tile floor in either the kitchen or living room of my dream house. I still plan on incorporating it somewhere, someday.

See how incredible it looks?

Off the Grid

Ever since seeing Children of Men (fantastic movie by the way!), and a lot of zombie movies/ shows, I've been thinking having a house hidden and off the grid would be a fantastic idea!
Somewhere where you can sustain yourself for a long period of time and that is hard to find. You know, solar and wind power, wood burning stove, lots of food, a well for water....somewhere safe.

I wouldn't live there full time, just in case of some catastrophic emergency.

While I'm not sure if the location of this house is far enough out, or technically off any "grids", it is made of recycled and sustainable materials and for a "shed" it's awfully nice looking. I love all the windows and use of scrap metal.
