living the 'green' life

Klopf Architecture designed a light and airy net-zero home for a couple in California. They wanted a home filled with natural light, that is private, and has a low impact on the environment. They both work from home so having a good work space was also a must. And an awesome work space they got! I can't tell you how jealous I am of their work space. Hello, look at those rows and rows of flat files. Oh how my heart swoons ; )

Office sneak Peek

it's been a slow and sometimes frustrating process mixed in with a lot of fun and now we're closer to being done with my hubbies office makeover. we have a very limited budget at the moment but in a few months we'll be able to add a few additional touches that will really make the place pop! we decided to make the conference table ourselves (well almost), we ending up finding a large 4' x 8' slab of bamboo at ecohaus and then commissioned a local welder to make the legs. now we just need to cut a foot off the width and assemble everything. we have the chairs for the conference table and i'll be hitting ikea for the storage shelving even though i soooooo wanted to have kerf make our shelves (waaayyy out of our budget). i also need to pick up some more bamboo slabs so we can make a tall pony wall for the little "lounge" area and another book shelf to match the ones currently in the space even though i am not a big fan but i do have a little makeover in store for those too ; )
anyway let's get to the fun stuff..... a sneak peek at the design inspiration! can you guess what we went with? ; )

images are from the web and just gathered over the months, please let me know if you are not okay with me posting your image

Elding Oscarson

I am loving the magazine wall that architects Elding Oscarson designed for a graphic design agency in Stockholm. You can even see them assembling the wall here. I'm also gushing over the conference room table and mustard chairs! Everything looks so fresh and cool.
