More 'Kindling Architecture'
Some more fuel for the firewood posts I've been issuing as of late, this is an interesting addition to a house in Estonia that seeks not to blend in with the existing structure, but to call attention to its difference. I'll bet many birds, wasps and other creatures will find it an inviting dwelling, too. Via Freshome – GF

Wright, Stone, Breuer, Johnson, All On Long Island
You'd don't have to look hard to find a community nowadays in which at least a few folks want it to be known that their town or county has a lot of modern houses and that therefore they "played [an important role] in the broader development of Modernism and Post-Modernism in the US." Modern houses are all the rage, as a friend told us a few weeks ago, and everybody wants to participate.
The quote in the first paragraph is from the website of the Heckscher Museum of Art, in Huntington, on Long Island, which has mounted an exhibition called "Arcadia/Suburbia: Architecture on Long Island, 1930-2010."
I saw it mentioned in the Times Real Estate section, which had this to say about star modernists on Long Island:
In 1937, on a relatively small lot in Great Neck Estates, Frank Lloyd Wright used cypress, brick and red tile on the Rebhuhn house. In 1938 in Old Westbury, Edward Durell Stone, the architect of the first Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan, built the Goodyear House, a weekend retreat with curving walls, a flat roofline and large expanses of glass. In 1951 in Lloyd Neck, Marcel Breuer created the Hanson House, using a butterfly roof and fieldstone. And in 1956 in Lloyd Harbor, Philip Johnson built the Leonhardt House, its glassed-in public living areas seeming almost open to Long Island Sound.
Since driving from northern Westchester across the Throgs Neck Bridge and out to Huntington on the Long Island Expressway is a punishment I don't deserve, I'm unlikely to go. But if I lived out there, I'd definitely take a look.
Here's the Heckscher website's exhibition page, and here are some photos (I tried to grab one to use here, but it saved as a QuickTime file, hence no illustration).
What will be the next community with enthusiastic historians of modernism who want us all to know about the great and heretofore uncatalogued modern houses in their town? Someone emailed me today with a bunch of great stuff and I'll try to write about it tomorrow. -- ta

An old friend who lives in L.A., among many hipsters I would think, sent me this wry link. Thanks, Jonathan! – GF
Ancient + Modern = Lovely Home
This fourteenth century house somewhere, I would imagine by the looks of it, in the Lower Engadin region of Switzerland, has been modernized in a "clean and friendly spirit" (quoting from the Côté Maison article where I found it). Cosy, modern, warm and bright – so inviting! – GF

Contemporary Dining Table and Chairs
Interior design - Dining Table and Chairs
Dining Table
In context of modern dining room furniture, dining table is the item that finds mention in the very first instance. It is the place where the family members come together to have a meal in each others company. In modern dining rooms, the huge, wooden dining tables are replaced by more compact ones, usually with a glass-top. They are large enough to accommodate all the family members and small enough to help them feel closer to each other. The usual capacity of such dining tables is 4 to 6 people, though you might find larger ones too.

Dining Chairs Design
Dining Chairs
Chairs also form an important part of the modern dining room décor. Rather than wood, they now involve tubular metals and synthetic fibers, mainly because of the durability and lightweight of the latter. Even the design of chairs is now the usual straight-back type. Ergonomically designed cushion seats, which provide greater comfort, are the norm when it comes to modern dining room. The modern dining room chairs not only add to the overall appeal of the room, but also occupy much less space than the traditional ones.
Interior Table and chairs
Other ElementsTable and chairs comprise of the basic elements of a modern dining room. However, apart from them, there are certain other aspects that need to be taken into consideration. These include the storage cabinets, buffets and cupboards. The modern cabinets have several separate sections, for holding things like dinner plates, serving bowls, wine glasses and knives. Then, you have built-in cupboards and corner buffets.

Contemporary – simple in design, uncluttered. Smooth, sleek surfaces such as marble, glass and stainless steel. Backgrounds are neutral or light, with strongly colored accessories and accents. Lighting is usually hidden and window treatments minimalist. Contemporary kitchens are the most common kitchen in the country today. Contemporary kitchens are warm and often considered the “second family room”. Many contemporary kitchens have Corian or laminate countertop and/or vinyl flooring as well as ample storage space with cabinets and a pantry. They are designed for the family-on-the-go and often times have a sizeable dining area right off of the cooking area.Stylish Interior Design

Luxury Living Room Interior Design
Home wall decor is one of he many major elements in home interiors that decide the kind of mood, the space will finally create when it gets finished. The reason for this is quite obvious. Wall occupies a major visual field in the interiors of any building.
Wall decor can be carried out in every imaginable way, you can think of. However some of the most common ways to decorating a wall are.
1) Plastering and painting the wall
2) Applying a wallpaper on the wall
3) Cladding the wall with tiles
4) Keeping the wall exposed (exposed brick walls)
5) Keeping the wall without plastering
6) Creating a mural on the wall
Which type you want to go for, largely depends upon what end effect you want to create. It must be noted that every wall decor finish will have a major impact on the interior design theme of your home.
But how to really choose the best finish for wall decor?
To solve this problem you can think from different perspectives. Wall surfaces are vertical surfaces and help in two ways. The first and the most obvious function of a wall is to act as a divider between two rooms and create privacy.
Secondly walls help to reflect direct sunlight into deeper areas of the interior spaces creating an even lighting atmosphere. For this to happen it is necessary to finish the wall with the kind of decor that will help easy dispersion of light into internal areas.
In the past, living room or the parlor was the place with formal settings to welcome the honored guests. With times, it has evolved into a multifunctional room meant to welcome guests, sit and relax comfortably while reading a good book or watching TV, spend some time with the family, chat and gossip with friends and for entertainment. The most common furniture pieces found in the living room are sofas, love seat, sofa with chairs in different combinations, coffee table, end tables, ottomans, benches, shelves and perhaps a desk and bookshelves. If the living space is also used as a family room, you can also find TV and entertainment center in the room along with accessories, lighting, art and crafts on display and may be carpets.

An extra large living room may accommodate a piano, eating area complete with dining table, tennis or billiard table or even a number of plants, if your living space receives lots of direct sunlight. You may also shift am armoire to make use of the extra space for storage purposes.

The color gray brings to mind pebbles, stormy skies, and seagull’s wings. Indeed, soothing shades of gray are anything but boring. A patio design from the Paola Lenti Aqua Collection proves gray can be endlessly intriguing with stunning pieces of furniture that create a calming, earthy feel outdoors. Sofas from the Cove and Frame product lines look welcoming and shady in the midday sun. Soft textile floor coverings in different textures complement the natural aged gray of an old wooden floor, as well as a contemporary concrete floor. The whole theme accentuates the rustic beauty of the rough stone walls; they draw attention as the viewer begins to appreciate the subtle variety of hues and textures of each individual stone. Who would have thought gray could be so fascinating? A gorgeous grey patio style that grows better every time you look – with furniture and floor coverings by Paola Lenti.

Comtemporary Bathroom Design - Wood Sinks
The market is inundated with ceramic or stone versions of sinks. On the other hand, there are few wood sinks or basins on the market and often they never appear as options when shopping for bathroom furnishings. These pictures came from MGS Designs which offer the stainless steel faucets seen in the images. If you have any ideas about where the wood sinks came from, drop us a line here at Furniture Fashion.
