within a home' for both of them. It was proposed to convert the top
storey of the 3-storey house into a livable space for two while the
existing ceiling was removed to reveal an attic area which can be used
for resting purposes.

Can't decide on a color or pattern no problem
I've been saying I need a new couch and with lack of funds I thought I would have a cover made. Then I saw these patchwork couches. Great idea, my next step is to talk to an expert upholsterer and see how he/she can recreate this idea for me. I will get back to you if I get this project going.
These inspired seatings from Design Crisis
This lake house by Murdock Young is a stunner...all 4,500 square feet of it. I especially love the modern elements combined with those New England-y mainstays such as cedar shingles, painted pine board, exposed trusses and drift wood.

The Kansas City Art Institute offers this win-win take on the tacky holiday sweater: You can customize and design it to fit your own tastes, and no one will ever have to wear it! Hours of fun with this easy-to-use and beautifully designed interface, perfect for filling up those last-hours-before-the-holiday-break at work!

I'm in awe....

Go nuts about the Husque series by Mark Harrison, made entirely from recycled Australian macadamia nut shells.
"The inspired form of these fun pieces reflect the material’s origins, and take advantage of an often discarded resource. Harrison developed a special compound that combines the shells with injection molding to create colorful bowls inspired by nature and place. Using nuts, pods and other organic shapes as inspiration, each piec…Continue Reading

Craig Wisneski, Julian Orbanes, Ben Chun and Professor Hiroshi Ishii from MIT were quite busy. Ten years ago, they created PingPongPlus, an enhanced version of the classic game that "features a "reactive table" that incorporates sensing, sound, and projection technologies. Projectors display patterns of light and shadow on the table; bouncing balls leave images of rippling water; and the rhythm of play drives accompanying music and visuals…Continue Reading
