Really nice furniture and the scale of each piece tends to be smaller to fit Japanese homes though would be perfect for small space - apartment living here. If Truck ever offers their work here, I'd gobble it up.

Hahaha funny post. I think it's ok to take a peek at the exterior of a home/apartment especially if you just like what you see. The owners hung those baskets/pulleys in the open windows so I am sure you are not the first to peek at them.

Anyhow I have those same orchid baskets:

In a nut shell, this is my style: earthy sensibility, minimal yet rustic textural.

I love Joe Hogan's work. Had the honor to see a few of his pieces in person here:

Forget the chair. HOTNESS is sitting atop it.

I love that butterfly chair. I have the same exact one with the leather seat!

I was talking about this with my husband and we both agreed that this was coming, unfortunately. So that means, fellow bloggers: more design blogs will be coming... It is sad that these publications are closing.

I LOVE this. Perhaps I can do one for each of my dogs: a German Shepard and Pembroke Welsh Corgi.....

These bags are a little more fancy and expensive, but I couldn't help myself to share them.

The photo reminds me of where I grew up. Sometimes it's hard to believe how different my current Chicago city world is from this.

I agree with you (yak) about the methods of being green, but this is a very nice option for *new: handmade from local materials (which is very importantly green) and with local hands.

As for myself, I love vintage, aged furniture and have a lot of that in my home. Wink.
