Time Square’s hot island and cool water (and how you can bring it home!)

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

Just in case if you had any doubt the power of a cool idea and some paint. Here’s a installation from the artist Molly Dillworth in Time Square call Cool Water, Hot Island. Which is an abstract representation of the heat island effect (also just an awesome use of an otherwise plain surface). I wonder how long will it be, before people show up in swimming trunks and towels to take photos with it.

The Dream Closet Project: the summer expedition edition!

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

Having thoroughly enjoyed a long weekend away camping with friends in the Adirondacks, we felt thoroughly recharged and ready to tackle our next closet design challenges! While contemplating the magnificent starry sky and enjoying the cool breeze off the lake. We could not help but felt a slight annoyance of having to crawl into our tiny tents and perform a sea-lion imitation while struggling getting into our pajamas. Well, there must be a better alternative than having to dig through our duffel in the dark? Which bring us to this week’s closet designer obsession.
