Captivating in California!!

With incredible views of the Pacific, beautiful natural design and an all around comfy sophistication, this California home is close to perfect! I love all of the exposed, natural wood and stonework mixed with great furniture pieces..... Did I mention the view?? :)

Row on 25th in Houston!!

Row houses are not the most common form of architecture for today's residential structures (at least, not here in Houston) but are they making a comeback? Matthew and Tina Ford of Shade House teamed up with Holden Shannon to design and build Row on 25th in the Houston Heights. The homes are of simple design and can be outfitted in 2 different styles - laminated kitchen cabinets and ash flooring OR stainless steel kitchen cabinetry and reclaimed wood floors. The interiors are spacious, open and modern and each home has a small patio space for enjoying the Houston weather. What do you think??

The Home of Kelly Behun

Designer, Kelly Behun, went the modern and minimal route for her custom home but injected lots of personal and unique touches all over. Kelly is the same designer that helped create the amazing that is Ivanka Trump's Manhattan apartment. Kelly keeps most of the home neutral and throws in whimsical pieces throughout. The white plaster staircase is incredible and you can see the gym while underwater in the pool!!
Thanks, Elle Decor for featuring such a beautiful home!

Polyhedron Pod!

Described as a "Habitable Polyhedron" this small structure is one of the coolest spaces I have ever seen! Designed by Manuel Villa and constructed by Alberto González Sepúlveda, this pod was designed as a piece to be tucked away in the backyard as a guest house, family gathering spot or just your personal getaway space that's away from home but not too far away. The glass facade gives this space a lot of sunlight and superb views of outside. So neat! Sign me up!

Bobby Flay at Home!

Well, I would expect Bobby Flay to have ONE incredible kitchen, but he has TWO! Not only does he have an amazing indoor kitchen but there is an equally fantastic kitchen outside. And, the rest of his home (which he shares with his wife, actress Stephanie March) is all kinds of lovely! Check it out.

Stoney Cross Low Energy House in the UK

The Stoney Cross House has been very thoughtfully planned. PAD Studio is behind this simple and eco-friendly beauty set within The New Forest National Park in the UK. Rainwater harvesting, grey water recycling, a natural swimming pond and the use of sustainable materials helped this home fit in easily with its earthy surroundings.
