I know that I need to get back into the habit of posting scintillating content over here and I am going to warm myself up with posts that are mainly visual and discuss why I love them. Let me know what you think and I look forward to hearing your thoughts as always. Tonight’s is [...]

Green Trends and Modern Housing
We already touched a bit on why I think economically efficient and green technology is prevalent in Modern Housing. However, I really wanted to elaborate a bit more. I have had some interesting conversations and thought ya’ll might agree that it’s fast becoming a defacto issue with builders, home owners, designers, architects and vendors. 1. [...]
Updates Coming
Good lord has it already been a month. My apologies, but a death in the family and the end of the year work obligations of my day job, held me up. I have some great posts coming soon including more furnishings I have found, an update about a local modern furnishing store and lots more [...]

Details of the Tour which is from Lake Highlands Women’s League if [...]

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

I think this tour is smaller and is located in Lake Highlands exclusively. I also got new details on a modern home [...]
