DIY Alert: Placemats using fabric and lamination. Pretty tempting. How about drawing up some games and having erasable markers at the table for some tic-tac-toe?
Flor has an online outlet. Check it out.
An impressive, built in spiral cellar. It is beautiful to look at.
More custom silhouettes to be found here.

This Week's Picks
Noir Bookshelf and DIY Bench Shelf
What do you think of this book shelf? I kind of like it. I like that it makes me think the other side of the table is hanging out somewhere on the other side of the wall. I would actually be tempted to do that.
I think that this concept works in a [...]
FIDM 2009 Debut Fashion Show
A week ago I attended the FIDM – Los Angeles 2009 Debut show. They had amazing designers and beautiful couture and street-wear. They kicked off the show with this print, chair and dress project. Each of the designers graduating from the program designed a fabric print, a chair form and a dress from [...]
Recycled Materials – The Crysanthemum
In response to our reader Khalilah’s design challenge I have been on the look-out for unique DIY ideas when I came upon this art piece by Steve Schmidt. It hangs in the lobby of the 924 Westwood Plaza in Los Angeles.
Steve Schmidt created The Crysanthemum out of plastic containers and zip ties. It [...]
Design Challenge: Reader's Result
Here is the result of last week’s design challenge. Khalilah used white and green sticks to put together this sticks sculpture. I love that she also placed some green sticks in a vase by the fireplace, echoing her creation above the couch. She said the green bamboo sticks were the organic touch [...]
Design Challenge: DIY Wall Decor Above Sofa – MODERnestS responds
I think your wall calls for something textured and natural (not in the sense of the color, but in terms of material). You already have a smooth couch and table and pillows. I think you need to throw in something that will pop. That being said, the possibilities are endless.
I think you [...]
Kitchen Cabinetry Trend and Gothic Modern!
I have been noticing a trend in both modern and eclectic-modern kitchens where the kitchen has the bottom kitchen cabinets in place, but the top are either non-existent or open shelves. I am really enjoying this trend. I wonder if I would miss top cabinets after a while or if it would feel [...]
Design Challenge: DIY Wall Decor Above Sofa
MODERnestS reader, Khalilah, is looking for a DIY project of something she can hang above her sofa. Khalilah writes:
“Here are pics of my annoyingly empty wall above my sofa. I need ideas of what to put on the wall above my sofa to help make my living room warmer and pull everything together. I [...]
Simple Moden Interior Seater
I love this simple, modern, L-shaped seating creation. I love that it looks like something you could make yourself if you wanted to and it will look great and effective in its simplicity.
I also love the charcoal and grey colors against the natural wood. What a beautiful setting and those windows really do [...]
Droolworthy: High Fashion Modern Vases
I love this collection of modern, whimsical vases. This is a shortlist pick from The World of Interiors. I particularly like the ‘Shade’ vase by Front Design. It is however 1000 GBP. Therefore I consider it a sort of couture of modern vases. If only Rossana Orlandi worked for cheaper. [...]
