A Green House Becomes A Studio/Office Space

This idea intrigues me more than you know.

This man started looking for prefab studios,offices

and decided on this gorgeous all wood and glass

GREENHOUSE.

wowza!

His concerns were....

since he lives in San Francisco ....

'Would it remain water tight?'

He says; "that so far it has."

As you can see he built a platform for the greenhouse to sit on-

He only needed a space heater to get him through this winter.

He is very happy with his project.

I see that a few of the glass walls and windows 

have been replaced by frosted glass.

A privacy issue no doubt.

Couldn't you see yourself blogging from this desk?

I could.

Container Homes - Thinking OUT Of The Box And IN The Box At The Same Time

 Adam Kalkin and SHIPPING Containers.....

Container Homes - Thinking OUT Of The Box And IN The Box

Container Homes &  Prefabs by Adam Kalkin, 

I could certainly live with this main area....

(with a few changes) 

COULD YOU?

I am sorry....

I think this is such a COOL CONCEPT!!

Here is a different model that Adam Kalkin has designed.

I urge you to go to his site and snoop around.

....I know what's going on with me.....

I have lived in design specializing in the 'Georgian Era' for so long

(over 30 years)

that I am craving to live in an industrial/working studio feel.

I have always loved the Industrial Look,

but was trapped.

My next place will exude 'industrial' 

with important accessories from the past.

Adam Kalkin

This is the 'Braniac' Himself; ADAM KALKIN

regarding the plan above

  "   The Old Lady House "

The name of this model could be insulting 

if it didn't 'hit the mark!!'

I was thinking this is just what I would do if I found a 'Loft Style Space'

for myself.

(just look at the closet!)

The best yet 

would be to

find a small property looking 

over the ocean or a river,

and plop this puppy down.

Instant Happiness.

This model is called BUNNY LANE -

This is one of the interiors in the BUNNY LANE.

He shows by this example 

that your insides 

don't have to match your outsides.

Wisdom.

Don't judge a book by it's cover -

not with a Prefab Container Home.

More Bunny Lane Interiors

Who'd a thunk it??????

Just plant this Prefab Container Home on your favorite spot....

and Home Sweet Home.

Please explore the sites below.

They are pretty wild

HOMES...Painted All Black (or Dark Charcoal )

Call me crazy, but I am almost sure this is the smallest house 

in Manhattan.

It is cool. NO?

I am such a BLACK lover 

that I decided to find as many Black Houses that I could  in one post....

and I think each are delicious in their own way. 

10 Downing St.

We know who's cool 

and who lives here.

DON"T WE?

Well.....

I must admit there have been cooler P.M.s.

Fun.

I noticed my first black residential house this year 

while driving through Rockland Maine.

It was so sharp.

Spooky

If this were mine...

(love bricks painted)

I would have used a black and white awning over the door

trimmed with wood tassels.

Black and full of charm, 

who knew???

Are those RED geraniums ? 

YUM!!!!

A natural choice to go with black or white painted brick

Grow a garden on your roof....

Looks like The House of The Seven Gables

The above home....

I could see myself living happily ever after.

However the one above has me really thinking.

A small black patent leather house ???

That's me!!!

I mean...it would only be me living there.

YEAH!!!

Can you imagine?

Chic little BLACK playhouses.

Hmmmmmm.......

I wonder what sort of play time those kiddies have in there??

I hope they don't play with pentagrams!!!

I hope you have enjoyed my Black House Tour.

Landscape Designs 2013 - Maine - Part I of II

Spring should be ending for me later during this week.

YEAH!!!

I hope you enjoy

Landscape Designs 2013 - Maine - Part I of II

Vertical plantings are great 

on a big boring wall on the exterior of you home.

I would eat in this restaurant just for the stunning landscaping!

Right?

Outdoor fire pit anyone???

You can plot a stone patio anywhere and add so much

to your outdoor living.

A log low pathway-bridge over a small stream.

Earthy.

I love this pathway.

And You?

Wild Maine.

The is no shortage of stone, slate, and granite 

in Maine to utilize in all your home designs.

I dream of this lawn.

How unbelievable simple & elegant!!!

More stoned pathways.

Love the moss in between the stones.

So Maine!

And this suits me just fine as well.

Love it.

What do you think of some of the ideas?

You Likie?
