Big props to Joel for sharing his place with us. Does he have a lot of chairs? Yes, of course, but that's exactly the point. He loves and collects them. Joel's Mid-Century and Modern in Miami House Tour |

This is exactly what I've dreamt about, but I have so many questions for you. How much was the land? How do you get to the island? How long does it take from Vancouver? Are there building codes? Is your property on the water or inland? Is there anyway to contact you directly? Best, Jeff Four People (and a Dog) Living in 180 Square Feet House Tour |

I think they're having a sale now. I've used their glass tiles a few times, they're beautiful but tricky to work with. I don't recommend installing them yourself. Apartment Therapy San Francisco | Hakatai Glass Tile |

I shouldn't talk having 16 Eames chairs, but they're all different, except the dining chairs and they all have a story. Some I found at thrift stores, two I sanded paint off fiberglass, some I traded with friends. But they all seem to work together, in a 1200 sq/ft condo. Apartment Therapy San Francisco | AT on...

I agree with moepong. Sand then Penetrol. If the scratches are deep you could start with 150, 220 then finish with 400. I don't think you need to do anything after applying the Penetrol, it's a nice finish as is. Apartment Therapy San Francisco | SF Good Questions: Rejuvenating an Eames Shell Chair? |

Genious! I'd love to give that to some of my relatives to wrap their newborns up in. Isn't anyone getting the irony? Apartment Therapy San Francisco | American Comfort Quilt from CITIZEN:Citizen |

They had an installation contest and one of the categories was residential. Some pretty good ideas: http://www.3-form.com/best_installation_contest-view.php Apartment Therapy Los Angeles | 3 Form Eco Friendly Materials |

Living Etc. is definitely fantastic but I think Inside Out from Australia might even be better. My order would be: Inside Out, Living Etc., Vogue Living Australia, Elle Decor UK, then Houses (also Australia). It's weird I subscribe and read Dwell every month but I've lost the excitement and anticipation of getting a new issue. Blogging Living, etc: August Issue |

I agree with the poster who suggested buy vintage and use Modernica bases. I also think the Herman Miller chairs are crap. The main reason the chairs are desirable is the use of fiberglass in their construction. Without that they are just plastic. And I also think the Modernica chairs are really, really nice. I typically never buy knockoffs, but in this case the Modernica chairs in my eyes are the real deal. It's like buying a Nelson clock from Vitra. They just don't have the official license. By the way the deal the Velocity guy is offering is great. Good Questions: Modernica or Herman Miller Eames Chair? |
