Dwell's Free Online Mag.

I subscribe to Dwell magazine. I'm really picky about my architectural magazines, and Dwell seems to be one of my favorites. I got an email from them the other day about their free online magazine, or digital issue I guess it's officially called, Indoor Outdoor Living. It's a bit like an ad from Western Windows, but interesting nonetheless.

It is completely dedicated to homes without boundaries from the outside. Or, outside spaces not stopped by walls and windows. It depends on the space and the room. I love it love it love it.

Give it a look see and see what you think.

Luxury Camping

When I was younger we used to camp on every family vacation. I couldn't understand why we couldn't go to Disney World like all my friends. I hated it.

Now that I'm older and paying my own bills, I see why we used to camp out so much. Also, as someone who is indoors more frequently than I would like to admit, I see the desire to camp.

This opens in July, not sure I would want to camp in the dead of summer, but it looks awesome. Also it's not really the camping I used to do as a kid, but I like it.

Recycled Spaces

Dwell has an interesting article about an American couple converting a 17th century warehouse in Amsterdam into a living space. I absolutely LOVE recycled spaces and dream of my own challenge one day.

I do not, however, like the painted brick. I really, really, really do not like painted brick. I realize it brings in more light, but I rather have the natural look than an artificial, oddly textured wall. Painted brick is right on up there with aluminum siding. Why hide your walls?
