Q: WHAT DO INTERIOR DESIGNERS EAT FOR BREAKFAST?

A: Interior designers eat WAFFLE FURNITURE for breakfast!
(just kidding, however this is a brilliant idea)


Today I came across this genius invention. It's called the "furniture tasting" waffle iron. It is hands down the most brilliant idea I have ever seen. And who cares if anyone says you shouldn't play with your food, this waffle iron is too cool! I want to buy one! 

Chocolate! Cinnamon! Berry furniture! With frosting! Or sprinkles! 

The possibilities are endless. 

THE BEST IDEAS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES

This picture below shows a gap between two buildings, which is approximately 4 feet, 3 inches wide. It seems like this space is good for nothing more than what it currently is -an alley between the two buildings. But, would you ever think that this would be a great space to build a house? 

Of course you did! It's obviously a brilliant idea! 

  

Introducing: Etgar Keret's House.

This home, which is an art installation by Żelazna St., Jakub Szczęsny entitled Etgar Keret's House, will serve as a workspace for an outstanding Israeli writer, Etgar Keret. The structure is currently being made from steel in a workshop near Warsaw, and is expected to be completed this June.  It will be the narrowest house in Warsaw! 

A three dimensional steel frame is going to be the basic structure of the house, finished in plywood, insulated panels, and Styrofoam covered in white painted cloth. The interior will also be painted white to creat a spacey atmosphere inside this tiny building. The water and sewage system is installed in the house while the building next to this house will provide electricity. Currently this house only recievcs building permit as an art instalation since it doesnt fulfill any exsiting Polish building codes. 

I think this project is absolutely fascinating! And it's so cool to see what other people are doing around the world. I can't wait to see this completed in June!

UP IN THE AIR {THE BESPOKE JET}

When you think of Interior Design, does your mind instantly think of the home? Did you know that interior design also goes as far as the interiors of jets? Most commercial airplanes, I must say, seriously lack in the aesthetics of design. They are made for heavy use, and function. Where as custom jets, designers have much more freedom to design. 

With that being said, I would like to introduce the new Gulfstream G550! 

It's a beauty! 

"Inside a Gulfstream customized by Lee F. Mindel and Peter Shelton of Shelton, Mindel & Associates, two bands of unfinished oak wrap around the interior, creating horizon lines that seem to stretch the space. The same matte wood was used for the bulkheads. All of the metal control panels and cup holders have a matte nickel finish. The sofa, which converts into a twin bed, is upholstered in a gray wool flannel that matches the V’Soske custom-made carpet woven in five shades of gray. “It’s the palette of the clouds,” Mindel says." -AD

"For understated luxury, Mindel covered the seats with a Spinneybeck leather in a color he describes as that of an Hermès saddle. He specified topstitched seams, a reference to sporty driving gloves and the steering wheels of vintage motorcars. The tabletop has drop leaves that can be raised to expand its surface. Both bulkheads feature LCD screens. “We can watch two different movies at once,” says the owner. “We also have a PlaneView display option and can watch the plane take off and see the landing gears come down.” -AD

SOMETHING FOR THE GUYS {MAN CAVES}

Hello Followers! 

I thought I would change things up a bit with my post today, and do something for the guys. Lately, I found myself looking through different rooms, which were more masculine, and it gave me an idea to post on man caves! Here are some inspiring man cave interiors, some products I love, and a few D.I.Y.'s for those who are handy! Enjoy, guys!

CHEVRON, CHEVRON, CHEVRON.

Lately, I have been seeing a trend going around. You may have noticed it. It's chevron! This trendy pattern you can find anywhere, and on everything. What I like though, is it's use in interiors. The problem with trends however, is that they make you want to change your home, however you will most likely get tired of the trend within a year. My best advice is to add smaller accents to your space, which you can easily change out when you get tired of it.  Here are some easy tips to add some chevron to your space, the right way.

I am in love with everything in this picture. It's a great idea for summer dinner parties. What I like most though, is the chevron table runner. This is something that can be bought or made for very little money and it will give your table that trendy look, which you can easily switch out when you become tired of it!

Are you up for a little D.I.Y.? I love the look of a chevron wall. Get some white paint, and some painter's tape, and paint a chevron pattern on a wall in your room. It will add some interest, and instantly update your space! 

Sometimes, it's the small accents that can make a big impact. 

Changing-out a rug, or some pillows is a great way to update a space! 

I hope with all these images and ideas, you too are inspired to add a little chevron to your home!
