Cupboard Doors

I haven't been lost. I've been getting ready for by debut at the Hobble Creek Barn Boutique held this week in Mapleton, Utah.

A few weeks ago I decided to work on these vintage cupboard doors. I have been thinking about our world today. There is so much negativity swirling around us. Kind of like the story of "Chicken Little". It can be quite depressing if you soak all of that in. It is important to be hopeful in life. This is why I put "Live Hope" on the first cupboard. You have to choose hope.

The second one is about destination in life and living a life of grace. I've come to learn that you can plan so many things in life. I use to have an illusion that "I" was completely in control of my life. I realize when you stop controlling your life that you are more free to be yourself and God can bring so many things in to your life that you can't imagine you would ever do in life. That's why I believe to live life one step at a time. It about the journey not the destination. Life is lived in the journey. That is where for me the true joy comes in to my life.

I've had many unexpected things come in to my life. Infertility, adoption, fibromyalgia, owning 2 different business, and many more things....... too many to list! Sometimes in great pain, loss, or/and struggle, God brings many beautiful outcomes that become cherished fragrant roses. I'm keeping this beautiful bouquet that God's so loving gives to me. I'm going to keep this tattered life of mine!

The irony of not having direct view of the ocean on a seaside house appears as a possibility for orienting this beach house towards a more unexpected landscape. The open horizon of the Pacific has been replaced by the view the near hillsides to the west, and to the protected space defined by a group of preexisting trees. This independent backyard, isolated from the intense summer life of the beach town of Cachagua, offers a calmed retreat to take distance from the city. Here, the close relation to topography stimulates spontaneous exterior circulations between rooms, giving the same relevance to the interior life of the house as to the exterior events, trying to enhance the informal condition of the beach house and the possibility of a life “outdoors”.

Glass Prefab Homes - Black Glass Modular Home Design by A-Cero

Spanish architects A-cero sent us some photos of an amazing and unusual prefab home that we just had to share. This black glass house design not only looks cool, but it is also the beginnings of a modular industrialized architectural construction process. Benefiting from the same modularity, technology, quality control and timeframe as modern industrial manufacture (architect are director of the project Joaquin Torres likens the process to Ford’s production lines) this new method of designing and building houses will benefit from factory production and on-site assembly, resulting in shorter construction times, more specialized labour, higher overall quality and lower price. This prefab home, one of two pilot projects, even comes with the option of being fully decorated and equipped, ready for occupancy – could you imagine yourself living here? We could! The modern, minimalist interiors with a palette of white are a cool contrast to the contemporary black exterior. A-cero.

Wood brings warmth to home design

The Queens Park Residence in Sydney, Australia, designed and built by Australian architects CplusC Architects and Builders, is based on the idea of “good wood.” Displaying the firm’s love of wood and how it inspires a warm flavor of architecture, this timber home design welcomes residents and guests with an entry sequence leading to a recycled Jarrah door. Inside, the main hallway can be compared to a tree trunk, lined with a rich wood floor and ceiling, and the home’s various rooms branching off it in succession. The hallway leads through the structure and into the heart of the house – an open-concept kitchen, living and dining area – and out onto a rear courtyard, where a wood deck encircles the pool.
