Tidbits

I know I have written about Crestview Doors before but they have a new site up with much more info and examples of the great doors they offer. Check it out (and buy): Crestview Doors Website.

Last week I talked with a writer for the Statesman about what is mid-century modernism largely in context of the Erwins, their home, and the Crestview Doors business that grew out of it all.

I tried to talk about MCM in the context of local history rather than more generic reference points. Not sure I totally succeeded there in providing a coherent back drop. Need to work on my talking points :-)

I acquired it from the very helpful people of IF+D. Go visit them and support the local design shops.

Through the IF+D site, I came across Fiesterra Studio and this incredible steel sculpture that invokes coral reefs:
