Hold on to your keyboards..
I’m going to be working a bit of a revamp in the next little while. If things look wonky it’ll straighten out shortly.
Update:
I have the new design up and the new IA in place but now I need to add some content, get images in place and tidy up around here. Let me know [...]
Holiday in the Highlands – December 5th, 2008
I have a few more details on another home tour. It’s not necessary Modern from what I thought (darn) but if you missed the AIA Home Tour a few weeks ago, this one does feature a decked-out-for-the-Holidays 22 Vanguard. Which is way MODERN!
Details of the Tour which is from Lake Highlands Women’s League if you [...]
Architecture Firm of the Week – Corgan Associates
I have lots of Architects to highlight but wanted to start in Dallas / Fort Worth neighborhood because I’m trying very hard to highlight as much as possible the resources in our neighborhood. There are lots of international and national modern/contemporary resources out there and I will expand my circle to include them but let’s [...]
Concept of the Week-Open the Doors of Appreciation
Appreciation of modern homes is for everybody. I started this blog in part to open up the ideas to everyone. I think that the appreciation of modern housing can be for regular people. In fact, one of the big stereotypes of modern homes is that they are only owned by architects, designers, interior decorators or [...]
Modern Furniture Store of the Week – 11/17/08
I’m trying to do the schedule this week and so the first up of the week is a Modern Furniture Store or Furnishings I like. I will eventually run out of locations in the Dallas / Fort Worth metroplex but for now, I’m going to try and highlight stores that have physical locations here. Since [...]
Lake Highlands Home Tour in December
Family issues again this weekend. However, I did hear of another tour. This time it’s in Lake Highlands and much smaller but I’ll be digging up details on it and posting them here. I think this tour is smaller and is located in Lake Highlands exclusively.
I also got new details on a modern home being [...]
Modern Builder of the Week – CCM General Contractors
Of course, I’m starting out with the prominent builder of Urban Reserve. You know I have a soft spot for that community and those homes. Eventually I’ll run out things to talk about in that region but for now, it’s forward ho. So CCM are the exclusive builders of Urban Reserve. [...]
Dallas / Ft. Worth Modern Home Map
Sorry for the delay in posting. I had some family responsibilities that took my time and snatched it. I have been working on a map to locate all the homes I know about, run across or are submitted to me and I’ll locate it on the map, put notes up if we have any on [...]
AIA Dallas Modern Home Tour Notes – Part B
More on the tour, and my exciting notes.
3. Doors
This should be probably under furnishings but one of the key aspects of these homes, I noticed was the doors. We had the kind that I expected with the industrial accouterments on rollers and kind of an odd feature in a house that was not at [...]
AIA Dallas Modern Home Tour Notes – Part A
The Dallas branch of the AIA outdid themselves and the tour was excellent. My brother-in-law Kevin and I did the tour and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It turns out that one of his clients (he is a personal concierge here in town – HIRE HIM) was on the tour so it was doubly fun for us.
I’m [...]
