Inspiration
That enclosed porch on the Shoreline Glass House is living rent-free in my brain. Warm wood, big windows, winter trees just beyond the glass. Tiny house goals aren’t always about the square footage. Sometimes it’s one good room where outside and inside stop arguing.
Wood walls. One good chair. A window. That’s all a writing space really needs. Everything else is just stuff pretending to be important. Link
Those sliding doors are everything. I’d love something like that in my own place — maybe it’s finally time to replace that old door I’ve been holding onto. Future project? I think yes.
Ooh, Legos! I love them. I saw some Crocs featuring a Lego design the other day. Meh! But this is so awesome!!!
I don’t do documentaries. But Dancing with the Birds intrigued me enough to stay. That Flame Bowerbird built an entire architectural masterpiece out of sticks — just to impress a date. Curated decor and everything. Nature’s original creative director, and he did not miss.
One of my fav rabbit holes: tiny house browsing. Own a 12x40 house & love every square foot of it. But this cabin from Craft Houses? Check those photos out! Solar-powered, no loft, all on one floor. It's giving cozy retreat energy & honestly, I wish I'd gone this route. Only if I had money!
“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” — William Morris
That arched doorless shower is doing a lot — in the best way. Blue-and-white stripe tile wrapping wall to ceiling, framed by a perfect arch. No door, no hardware, nothing interrupting the pattern. What gets me is how committed it is — the stripe doesn’t stop at the shower entrance, it just keeps going. That kind of design confidence is rare. A bathroom with an actual point of view. If I ever have the bathroom space for it, this is the vision.
That DIY tile trick is brilliant. Instead of mixing mortar and making a huge mess, you just use the stick-on backing and place the tiles directly on the wall. So much simpler and cleaner. Now I’m tempted to try it in my kitchen—I just need to find the right tiles I like.
Can we talk about these Italian mountain huts? Val d’Aosta has nearly ten of them — including Rifugio Capanna Regina Margherita, that opened in 1893. One is perched 9,300 feet above the Frebouze Glacier, shaped like an airplane fuselage with porthole windows. I would love to sit there & watch the sunrise shadow the beauty of those mountain peaks. Dwell magazine calls this new wave of alpine design:
“the most fertile period in backcountry hut design since the invention of hiking.”
I believe it.
Regarding that shelf—it’s seriously a mood. The way the dark, textured wall makes the walnut pop is just perfection. Those brass duck bookends are such a cool vintage find, and the whole setup feels curated and soulful without trying too hard. It’s definitely giving me some inspiration!
