modern goes country

even though i am not a huge modernist fan, who doesn't like dwell magazine? dewell's november issue is all about 'Back to Basics. Modern Goes Country.' the cover below is some house in europe, which i couldn't find images for (so go buy the magazine), but the inside to me feels unfinished compared to the outside.

the second house is couple of hours outside chicago and i think the getaway cabin is well done and simple.

 

 

andrew pinkham

found out about a new local artist during the fall festival that i volunteered for this weekend. he does portraits for all of the species, however, i think that the animals are far more interesting.

modkat

this crazy litter box is accessed from the top, which might have your cat confused on what to do where. i like the idea that my dog cannot access the litter either, and my cat hopefully cannot tromp litter everywhere outside of the litter box. its gonna cost ya $180 (yikes, i know!) and it looks pretty big from some of the pictures that i have seen.

bright idea?

doggie bag

i have tons a stuff for the dog and the cat, and i put all the misc. stuff into one giant reusable grocery bag, that's not as pretty as the one you can make below from martha stewart living magazine in her october issue.

 

Step 1:

Photocopy picture, enlarging so that dog is about two-thirds the height of the bag; cut out along dog's outline.

Step 2:

Lay photo cutout, face up, on front of fabric, and trace with fabric pen. Cut out. Flip fabric silhouette.

Step 3:

Cut out. Flip fabric silhouette. Apply glue to dog's head. Position silhouette, glue side down, on bag; press to adhere. Apply glue to the rest of the back of the silhouette in sections, pressing and smoothing out as you work.
