Unusual Large Apartment With Basketball Court Posted: 25 Jul 2011 06:20 AM PDT Who can imagine that a former warehouse structure can be transformed into a stunning residence? Only a very skilled designer can make such a dream come true. It is certainly the case with an amazing residence located in Soma, near San Francisco, California, which offers, at the same time, a unique entertaining and  living environment that you do not forget easily. If the outside seems not out of normal patterns, featuring multiple levels of mezzanines and a roof with skylights, the interior is intriguing. First, the entrance door seems to be part of another universe, then beyond this door everything seems to be uncommon, a very large and open space representing the key element. You have the feeling that you can get lost in a very new environment in which nature makes its presence felt in a very nice manner. In the living room, the central place is free; everything is placed near the walls, no matter it is the corner for basketball, the bookshelves, the fireplace or the living space itself. The wide space reveals many beautiful elements, which depict the personality of the owner: the paintings on the wall, the tree and the plants that give life and color to the entire atmosphere. If the living room is a modern complex mixture, the bedroom is modern in its simplicity and the quality of the materials proves  good taste, style and elegance. The plant and the pictures on the walls are the elements that animate the room, while the decorative objects give a pleasant mood to the entire environment.{found on decoist}

Unique Float Coffee Table by Liz Boscacci Posted: 25 Jul 2011 03:44 AM PDT If you're looking for something different, something special that would make your home special and unique, maybe it's time to take a look at this beautiful coffee table designed by Liz Boscacci. The American designer has named it the Float Coffee Table. The inspiration came from under water. The idea was to create a coffee table that has a unique base design. The overall image is modern and very interesting. The base of the coffee table is made of mahogany and it has a very beautiful natural color. Its design was inspired by the bubbles floating to the surface. As you can see, the spheres have different sizes and they are arranged in a way that makes it look like it was random but it's actually not. The base is very steady and durable, despite the design. The table also has a glass top. The transparency of the glass makes the base stand out and really brings out its beauty. The table measures 3 feet in diameter and it's 13 inches high. Each sphere that forms the base has a unique texture and design. This makes it even more interesting and beautiful. The Float Coffee Table is a modern piece of furniture that would look beautiful anywhere. However, a modern or contemporary living room would be the best choice.

A House like No Other Posted: 25 Jul 2011 03:03 AM PDT In a contemporary world in which everything is in a continuous progress, people come up with all sorts of ideas and inventions we would not think of. It is also the case of the Polish architect Jakub Szczęsny, who came up with a very interesting design concept. When you think about Warsaw, Poland, you already think about infinite possibilities. The Polish architect designed a house of 60 inches in width, on two floors, considered an art installation. What seems to be a right triangle or a library is intended to become someone’s home, no matter how little room it provides for the personal possessions and furniture. As the entire world advances in the field of technology, it seems natural for things to get smaller and smaller. If at the beginning we are surprised, the more we analyze this nice, imaginative design, we get to get used to the idea. It is a small, narrow  space, which definitely needs the existing ladder to get from one floor to another. In spite of the narrowness, the house seems to have everything a house should have: bedroom, kitchen and bathroom;  the whiteness of the house gives a simple and elegant air. The open space is quite attractive and inviting in its simplicity. It is not the most comfortable place on earth, but it is definitely a modern house which provides enough for a nonconformist person!{found on hd}

Ingenious DIY Shelving from an Old Guitar Posted: 25 Jul 2011 02:15 AM PDT All along the years music has enchanted our ears with its charm. Although the type of listened music was rock, pop, blues, dance or folk, entire generations were charmed of the sound of music. As a proof we have our CDs at home or the concerts where we were present each time. Each of us found ourselves in a certain type of music; we feel that a singer or a band can represent us. If we are the fans of a singer or a band we will have posters or magazines with them at home. Sometimes we even adopt the same type of dressing up of our favorite singer or band. One of the most used and loved musical instruments is the guitar, even if it is classic or electric. One of the famous singers who played the guitar was Elvis Presley. Besides his incredible voice he was also helped by his guitar.This musical instrument was also used in a movie called "Desperado" where Antonio Banderas was the main actor. If we have a broken guitar we may find a way so that we keep it near us all the time instead of throwing it away. We can have it in front of our eyes all the time as a decoration. We can make of it some ingenious DIY shelves where we can sit our favorite CDs or magazines. Thus we can sit comfortably in an armchair and imagine ourselves that we hear some guitar strains.
