Reese’s Office
This home office is very basic. All it has is a desk. This desk is my design. It has a 4 drawers on the right and simple legs on the left. The Reese’s poster is inspired by antique Reese’s posters. Reese’s peanut butter cups are a favorite snack to many people including one of my good friends, for whom I designed this.
If walls could dream… they’d dream of peanut butter cup offices.
World’s Greenest Homes: Hong Kong Space Saver
In Hong Kong, space is a luxury. One creative architect found a way to use futuristic sliding walls to create up to 2 different room combinations in his 330 sqft apartment. Not for the claustrophobic!

Blog Update
I currently post something new to this blog every-other day, but I can see that most of you do not visit every-other day. I feel like it’s not worth all my work when you don’t visit very often. Don’t worry, I’m not stopping this blog, I’m just going to post twice a week (instead of 3 or 4 times a week) from now on.
A Seaside Master Bedroom in a Forrest Green House
This is the first floor of the house. It has a one car garage in the upper left corner. The entry is in the upper right corner. The front door leads into a small hall and then into the great room. The laundry room and half bath are in the lower left corner.
This is the second floor plan. The master suite goes along the bottom of this picture. The other 3 bedrooms and full bath wrap around the central hall and staircase.
This is the kitchen. It has warm, dark woodwork with high contrast white counters. The accent color is green, so the backsplash is recycled green tile and the living room wall is “forrest” green. I love the glass upper cabinets and the plank detail on the lower. The sink is an offset undermount sink. I use this style sink very oftenly in my designs.
This is the master bedroom. The accent wall is blue + white stripe wallpaper. (who says wallpaper’s dead?) The chair and some pillows also have this nautical theme. The dark woodword gives weight to this light room and the woven rug gives texture. On the other walls are a large painting of a nighttime city, a full length mirror with nautical rope trim, and the door to the equally nautical master bath.
If walls could dream… they’d dream of nautical, seaside master bedrooms in forrest-green houses!

Mediterranean Mansion Project (post 5)
This is the second floor of the Mediterranean Mansion. It has a lot of space open to the living room and entry of the first floor and 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, an office, and the laundry room.
This is the office. It overlooks the garage and is spacous enough to hold two large desks.
This is one of the two bedrooms. Another 3form material, cinnamon weave, is used as an accent in this room. The juliette balcony overlooks the small court and matches the balcony of the second bedroom.
Come back Friday to see more of this amazing house!

This is the floorplan for the first floor of the Mediterranean Mansion. The front entrance is at the bottom middle. To the left of the entry is the dining room and to the right is the staircase and furtherly the living room and first kitchen. In the middle of the house is a bathroom and a deck that connects the second kitchen to the rest of the house. A half bath, mud room, and large pantry complete the second kitchen.
Come back Wednesday to see more of this amazing house!
Mediterranean Mansion Project (post 3)
This is the first kitchen in the Mediterranean Mansion. It is located to the right of the front entrance. It shares a fireplace with the living room. My favorite part of this kitchen is the white countertops. They are “Snowmelt” by 3form materials.
This is the second kitchen. It is located in the back corner of the mansion. A mud room connects it to the back deck, a deck connects it to the hall and the entry, and a spiral staircase connects it to the second floor. My favorite part of this kitchen is the backsplash. While it looks like horizontal glass tiles, it is really bamboo set in resin. Check it out at http://www.3-form.com/materials-varia_ecoresin-organics-structured_bamboo.php
Come back Monday to see another part of this amazing house!
