The sky is the... Lindal!

This is a beautiful Lindal Cedar Home that
we are building in Brown Ranch (between Ridgway and Telluride) the views are stunning. Jack, our project manager, took this shot recently. I think it captures the infinite sky and the connection the home has to the it's unique site quite well!

We are looking forward to building one of Lindal's newest Turkel Designs soon!

And this the other night in Telluride....ahhh beautiful sky!

On a very different note....I saw this today on Made by girl and loved all the shots of this home! The chalk board was brilliant!

Love this post!

Eco of snow and wild things

I found a new favorite: Laura Spector Rustic Designs.

This table is the perfect combination of earthiness and minimalism, as is the lamp below.

Some of her creations are a bit "Where the Wild Things Are" a movie I adored...haunting and so emotional, phew. I bought the sound track just so I could mope around the house and pretend I was a misunderstood wild boy instead of a misunderstood blogger!

I'd love her railings in a guest house or beach house...where they would magically never be dusty.

dreamy, and a bit Goldsworthy, yes?

I love this little Montessori plant maker from For SMALL HANDS. It's precious. No glue, no tape, no muss, no fuss! Just stips of paper and this handy little device and voila! I may get it for all the Wild things on my christmas list, including myself!

Just thought I'd include this wild house we built a few years ago in Norwood. (Cue the brown landscapes from the movie the fall and spring can be a bit dry) Winter snow brings a magical touch does it not? It's all solar! Traditional, yet green, love it!

Mad about Modern Lindal

Perhaps you've heard...Lindal Cedar Homes have partnered with Joel Turkel to create modern, 21st century homes! In their 2009 catalog Turkel has created a really amazing series that we are just twitterpated about! Dwell has a great Q& A with him here.

We've built several Lindal homes, some of them very green and one completely off the grid. On each project we've worked with Brent Hughes from Majestic Peaks Custom Homes.

He is a a very detail oriented guy. Our clients rave about his ability to customize their needs. I really can't wait until we get to built one of these Lindal/Turkel designs.
