Located in Clifton, Cape Town South Africa, and designed by SAOTA – Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects & OKHA Interiors, this seaside home boasts views of the Atlantic Ocean. That you can see through the house from the back yard. I think if you asked me to show you my dream house, I’d just point at the photo above.

Dubbed, “Suspensions of Space,” this project was a redesign of the upper floor of a house constructed with the two by four method.

If you’ve been in Target or Gap lately, you’ll know that bright colors are back this season. So the new Joie de Vivre hotel, The Saguaro Palm Springs has either timed its debut perfectly or is destined to be out of fashion before Palm Springs sizzles this summer.
Reviews for the delightful palette of the new Saguaro have been strong, all photos highlight the rows of cellular rooms each painted in a different color like a rainbow against the blue desert sun. But at a stay there in February right after its opening, the sometimes contrasting, sometimes congruous colors of the grounds will make it outlive the hype after the surface colors may fade.

One my my favorite magazines, Atomic Ranch, just came out with their second book called Atomic Ranch: Midcentury Interiors
. AR editor Michelle Gringeri-Brown and photographer and AR publisher Jim Brown make such a great team and their publisher Gibbs Smith did an excellent job with the book. It takes a look at eight postwar homes including a suburban split-level, some modernist marvels and even an aluminum kit home all of which demonstrate that modern can be comfortable, warm and inviting. If you have a modern or midcentury home, this book is just page after page of eyecandy. I feel like renovating my entire home after flipping through it!
Since we don’t really do book reviews here on Design Milk, I thought it would be a better idea to take a tour of one of the eight homes featured in the book: a 1958 Eichler from San Mateo that underwent a big facelift.

Nothing is weirder for me than writing a post about myself. I applaud lifestyle, fashion and other personal bloggers who do it every day. I also suffer from chronic bitchface (see above. I swear I’m really nice! Say hi if you see me!).
In this edition of Where I Work, I thought it might be fun to go “behind the blog” at the Design Milk Headquarters and share my workspaces with you. I spend a lot of time bringing design to you every day from a variety of places around my home, and this post might give you a glimpse at what happens behind the scenes every day.
