Welcome the sun with filtered light!

When sunlight peaks through tree branches to create rays of filtered light, I can't help but feel surrounded by absolutely mystifying beauty. However, as we approach midwinter, we don't get to see the sun as often as we'd like or witness streams of sunlight. But don't worry- the sun will come out... next season! So, when spring finally comes, welcome the sun into your home with warm, filtered light. Now is the perfect time for implementing an inundation of flowing streams of light into your home. Enjoy!

 Angled ceiling skylights allow for bright, beautiful light beams to burst in and brighten a bedroom.

 These 'floating' stairs slice the sunlight, creating streams that pour light into an otherwise dismal stair well.

 Filtered light doesn't always have to be fragmented light- the sunlight enters this home through textured, opaque windows.

All about the angles- the thick windowpanes set at drastic angles offers a a unique edge to this modern, earthy dwelling

Bring the Outside in!

I love being in nature. Who doesn’t? The feeling of tranquility can’t be matched by man-made designs. I want to show you ways to bring the outside, inside so you can enjoy nature without leaving your home.   

 House plants are nice. They provide a little color and give you something to do when they need water. But how about an entire garden inside? I mean, why not? If you’re willing to have a handful of potted plants inside, it’s not that far off to include a garden with your interior.

Of course, planting indoors is more involved than buying a few potted plants at Home Depot, but the reward, feel and uniqueness are well worth the effort. Below are a few ideas that can be integrated into a well designed interior and bring color, life and a focal point to your space. Enjoy!

Stairs: Up & Down, Up & Down!

Stairs are tired of just being walked on all the time. I say, let them be noticed! Let them make a statement! These nontraditional styles will surely have you reconsidering how essential stairs are to the flow and connectedness of your home. Enjoy!

 Love your books? Stairs do, too! These stairs provide a clean, orderly, and space-conscious solution to organizing your growing book collection.

 These stairs are sleek and simple, yet incredibly striking: the perfect way to unite a modern multilevel home.

  Curved staircases are always stylish, but the individual steps are often overlooked. Try adding something creative to the steps. These are filled with wood shavings! 

What's black and white and walked all over? This metal zig-zag staircase! This design is sophisticated and unique: definitely something I want to try in the next house design project.

Finally, my favorite staircase! These 3D floating parallelograms are so clever; and using one of the steps as a desk- even more clever! This multipurpose staircase shows creativity, sophistication, and a high design IQ.

Frank Lloyd Wright- Fallingwater 3D Animation

I had the chance to visit Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater in 2011, and I must say I cannot wait to go back. Not only was it magnificent, but Wright's forward thinking architecture is what so many architects and designers use as innovative inspiration for our present day buildings. Even today, after seventy years, Wright's masterpiece speaks volumes to site integration. Although there is a strict no photograph policy while in the home, I did snap a few shots of the exterior.  I also found a step by step, ground up animation of the home that details Fallingwater as one of most amazing examples of architecture in America today. Enjoy.
