One Last Thing For The Day...

Again, found on www.inhabit.com

This images remind me of when I was little and my mom would make up these grand bed time stories about little fairies and bugs that lived in very Ferngully esq. forest. Those stories are so vivid and engraved in my mind. Nothing is better then a story that lets your imagination go wild and it's the last thing you think about before you fall asleep. Anywho, these little veggie scenes are incredible and brought me back to that little magic bedtime world. Enjoy.

Inhabit

This is probably my new favorite website. The innovative "green" ideas are endless. ENDLESS I TELL YOU! I would call my self exactly organic, or an eco-freak, but I certainly appreciate the movement and its style. Here are a few of my top picks from Inhabit.

Edible Art: Biodegradable bowls made from vegetables.


Laser Cut leaves

Skateboard Stools
Toothpick Lamp


TreeTop Office

"One look at this office nestled amid the treetops and you might contemplate how to change your life in order to have a workspace with such an incredible view. Peter Frazier, a customer experience consultant, decided after years of working at an office and gaining over 50 pounds that he needed to make a change in his life - so he built this incredible office in the woods. Set amongst the trees above Chuckanut Bay in Bellingham, Washington, his lofted cube serves as a workspace and guest room, and it has a green roof on top too."

The web site is incredible if you want to check it out.

I Bought a Book Today.

People, I am ruined. I went to Barns and Noble (bad idea) on my lunch break today, and naturally I glance over the "Architecture" section to see if there were any new tree house books. There was. Although their selection was a bit sad in size, I was lucky enough to find a tree house book that I don't already own. Glorious. Just opening it, the new book smell was overwhelming and fantastic. I sat at my desk and oooohed and ahhhhhed at every page. My heart pitter pattered like a teenager in love.
Tree houses are so magical. Little palaces scrapped together out of found objects and fairy dust. sigh....
