West Islip Waterfront: A Work in Progress
This West Islip project is another one of Bouler Architecture's waterfront homes which mixes energy efficient systems with athletic modern design. Working within a symmetrical framework, the dynamic angles of the house's exterior create unusual interior spaces which capitalize on the panoramic views. Even in their unfinished state, the effect is spacious and elegant.

Stools!
It started on Craigslist with these in Massapequa for $40 each. A great deal, don't you think?
Then I thought about these from DWR.
Until I found these at Modernica. Ah, it's love.

Charley Harper: MidCentury Artist and Birder
When we saw the Charley Harper exhibition at Cornell Lab of Ornithology last spring, I hadn't realized how much his work would seep into my consciousness. With my growing passion for streamlined midcentury design only growing, his colorful images capture the essence of birds in a uniquely stylized way. So when I was searching for a new 2012 calendar this morning, Charley Harper's images came to mind. With January already gone, I thought, hey I'll get a discount. On the contrary, Harper's calendars are SOLD OUT on many sites and now commanding higher prices. Fortunately I was able to find one at its original price before they were all gone. What this means, of course, is that my Charley Harper illustrated first edition of Betty Crocker's Dinner for Two Cookbook must be worth at least double the $3.50 I paid for it at a yard sale.
