House 'o concrete

This home, located in Tel Aviv, Israel and designed by Axelrod Architects is all about concrete. It's EVERYWHERE. A little too cold perhaps? I think so, but with some walls clad in wood and some wood flooring (I'd even welcome a bit of carpet) this is one sweet home. It may be cold and minimal but it's got ALOT of windows to keep things bright and warm. I love the long narrow window above the kitchen countertop, and the different levels of the home keep things interesting (love the floor #'s on the walls in case you weren't sure where you were).

Skin and bones

The lovely folks at Domus Nova sent along photos of a new property they added to their roster last week but despite it being basically unfurnished, it has such gorgeous architectural details that ideas keep popping into my head of how I could work with this absolutely incredible space.... Although for £7,500,000 you might be furnishing it with cardboard box tables and a pile of straw for a bed. :-)

Cactus in the kitchen

Nothing fancy, just a very white apartment decorated with an odd assortment of lighting, furniture and a huge cactus in the kitchen. Because WHY NOT?! Via Le case di Elixìr.

Minimal and white

I often wish I had enough will power to live minimally. This location home in the UK is a dream. It's a bit sad to see what must have been alot of really gorgeous wood painted but WOW - all this white is spectacular. I wish I could live with all those white painted floors too but I've learned the hard way that they aren't practical in my home. I'd settle for just the kitchen - TO DIE FOR!!! Via 1st Option.
