I can't get enough of organizing and renewing my house this month. And while I wish I could enlist this Vitra Uten.Silo organizer ($375) to aid my efforts, instead I'm giving one away to a lucky Casa reader!
Uten.Silo is one of the best-known plastic designs of the late 1960s. Today, this colorful wall tidy is a veritable design icon and a true-to-the-original version of the product has been reissued by Vitra Design Museum. The lucky winner will get one in her choice of red, white or black!

The first woman to win the Pritzker Prize for Architecture in its 26-year history, Zaha Hadid has defined her architecture with sensual curves and a lack of right angles. She creates buildings that revel in multiple perspectives and seem to mirror the fragmentation of modern living. Born in Baghdad in 1950, Zaha Hadid currently resides in London, but her architectural mark is seen across the planet, with projects such as the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati and the BMW plant in Leipzig. She's also designing the 2012 Olympic aquatic center in London, which is typical of her style, with its sinuous and fluid lines.Take a look at some of her innovative and futuristic designs and buildings.

Hi Casa,
My roommate and I live in a typical San Francisco apartment where the rooms build off of one side of a long hallway. We don't have good natural light in that hallway, and the ceilings are probably 18 ft. (that's a guess).
My question is, what is a good color to paint the hallway? We both agree it needs something to spice it up. I'm not afraid of bold color (the walls in my last room were coral and pink!), but I don't know if maybe a darker color would be better to make the ceilings seem less tall and the hallway less long. I'm just concerned with the lack of natural lighting.
thanks!!
