Concrete and Rubber United!!

The words, concrete and rubber are not often put together in the same sentence. I don't think that I have ever heard of them being put together to make a light fixture either.... UNTIL NOW! Renate Vos's Concrete Bin pendant lamp is made mostly of concrete and has a thin silicone rubber border. Truly unique and inventive.

Beautiful Inside and Out!!

The Dorsey Residence (by Coates Design) is an excellent mix of clean lines and simple on the outside and energetic and funky on the inside. I love the variety of textures and "ingredients" (concrete, bamboo, laminate, steel) used in the creation of this Washington State home. The gorgeous surrounding landscape is the cherry on top!
