Questo piccolo edificio progettato da Li Xiaodong Atelier è la biblioteca di Huairou, un piccolo Villaggio alla periferia di Pechino. La scelta alla base del progetto è quella di realizzare la biblioteca non nel centro abitato ma a cinque minuti di cammino da esso, in un luogo immerso nelle montagne vicine, in un contesto di quieta contemplazione....

The year's swoon-inducing rooms that garnered hundreds of repins.
Attending a cultural event (say such a as museum show) can be an educational and enlightening experience. On the day of the show, the FIRST thing that Splendor learned was that her closet contains many strange and wonderful things…spiky Victorian style boots with skull buttons, flowing velvet jackets in gloomy shades of death, ash and midnight and an endless supply of skirts adorned with lacing, zippers and buckles. What this closet of curiosities DOES NOT contain is a winter coat, a pair sensible shoes or any other “NORMAL” attire that should be worn in public during daylight hours. Now the SECOND thing that Splendor learned is that wearing a lace mini skirt and knee high lace up boots to a posh art exhibit will only lead to further scrutiny of one’s person. Although not out rightly stated, there seemed to be a lingering connotation by some that Splendor’s hair is too long, her garments too strange and her general demeanor too scandalous to be considered “professional” and that henceforth she should no to be allowed in to roam freely, mingling with the general public…HA! As to which Belphegor hoodie Seraph decided to wear, that is a story for another day… Now Splendor’s first experience with PROPER BUSINESS ATTIRE occurred back at her first job in high school where it was promptly pointed out that one CANNOT come to work in a Venom t-shirt reeking of Jack Daniel’s and sin and was expected instead to wear a white blouse, a knee length white skirt and a FREAKING PINK APRON (…the horror…the horror…) In case there ever is a Chintz of Darkness category on an upcoming Jeopardy show, the answer to the question would be BAKERY for 1000 points, Alex. And what a fine establishment it was… Now just to set the stage, one only needs to imagine a stately brick building with an elegant tailored awning on a quaint tree lined lane. Upon entering the dignified double doorway, one was promptly greeted with a greasy crumb strewn floor, hazy frosting smudged walls and a collection of rickety café tables with mismatched chairs held together with duct tape and string. Other highlights included a lecherous cocaine huffing boss, an infestation of cockroaches (that yes, now that you asked, dear readers, dropped from the ceiling into vats of chocolate icing on a hourly basis…) and of course let’s not forget about the flasher and his gigantic…er…oh, never mind…Did we mention that both of the dishwashers and one of the bakers were registered sex offenders? And last but not least, who could forget about the “Apple Strudel” that they sold at Christmas time after gathering racks of rotten pastries throughout the year and grinding them up as filling? We kid you not, this putrid pastry resembled a MUMMIFIED ZOMBIE ARM, complete with brown flaking skin and an odd odor… Indeed, Splendor’s first job taught her many important life lessons such as the value of earning one’s own money, as well as how to avoid getting groped while carrying two trays of doughnuts, how to fend off marriage proposals from pedophiles and the subtle art of “borrowing” bus money from the till… Needless to say, the bakery eventually filed for bankruptcy and closed its doors...soon after that Splendor joined the racks of the self employed and has never looked back… …and yes, self employment is a joyous situation where no one minds if you show up to work in your BIRTHDAY SUIT instead of a business suit. In fact around here they (as in Seraph) rather encourage it…hee! So how do YOU earn your keep, dear readers? Please stop by for a visit to our new ETSY SHOP. Thanks!

THE HOUSTON HEIGHTS 1920'S BUNGALOW All welcome to our current house and one of our biggest undertaken projects to date. This is one of our dream areas and love everything about this area. I wrote about some of the reasons why we were drawn to this location and some details about the property here. Over the next few years I plan to paint the exterior (most likely white with black window trim), landscape, widen front steps, add new exterior lighting, and redo/add deck spaces. (Update we did see below the after and before) I love how already our interior has caused audible gasps when people walk in and in total disbelief of how bright and modern it looks with vintage vibes. Our living room and "music" area is the first room when you walk through the front door. The next areas are the dining and kitchen area, which has undergone the biggest transformation so far in our home. See some before pictures here. See the before and after post I did on our kitchen Our home has four bedrooms and two baths. One of the rooms I have converted to my office, the other a guest room, Harrison's room, and the master. My office is probably one of my favorite rooms in the house and really reflects a lot of home design I love, details, books, great textiles, and matching modern with vintage vibes. Added more accent lighting and this vintage French table as my desk View from guestroom to my office Guest room and bathroom Harrison's room recently got a new additions with these custom built-ins and bench I designed and help build with my dad. Love a clutter free area and somewhere to put all of his books and toys that are easily accessible from him and tons of room to play. The old guest room bed is now in Harrison's room Hallway to our master suite and hallway to Harrison's room. Our master is great, I wish it was a tad bit bigger, which we have thrown a few fun ideas (once again way down the road) on how to achieve that. Old Headboard now in the guestroom Old Headboard now in the guestroom A Peak at our Master Bath Thank you for taking this little tour with me and if you want to take a look back at our older homes click here.
A well designed home office will set the stage for higher productivity, but why not get creative and incorporate a library into your space.
