Shia LaBeouf Moves to Sherman Oaks
It seems as if Transformers star Shia LeBeouf is moving on to bigger and better digs. According to RealEstalker, Shia has moved into a stunning 1958 modern home in Sherman Oaks, CA, which he snapped up for $1.825 million.
This is a beautiful piece of real estate, and while I may question Shia's taste in movie roles, I'm not arguing with his taste in midcentury homes.
Ask Casa: Where Can I Find This Chair?
Dear Casa,
We're currently shopping for a new dining room set, and I've been searching for chairs similar to your office chair. i think it would be a great way to keep the space open and deter from the high back chairs that come with all the Mission/ Shaker tables we like. Do you know the manufacturer or style?
Who Designed This Chair?
While it's not meant for use as outdoor furniture, this chair looks so luxurious on this deck. Which famous mid-century designer is responsible for its classic design?
Found It! Aleksandr Petrovsky's Dining Room Chairs
I recently saw a few re-runs from season six of Sex and the City, and I was blown away, yet again, by Aleksandr Petrovsky's chic Manhattan loft apartment. From the to-die-for views to the sheer size of the place, it's utterly crave worthy.
In this scene, from episode 92, "Splat!"
Coveted Crib: The Miller House
While most people associate Indiana with corn fields and basketball, there's amazing modern design to be found in this Midwestern state as well. Take the Miller House in Columbus, IN. Commissioned by J.
Su Casa: A Cool and Modern Sunroom
Su Casa member Nikolem2 recently posted photos of her gorgeous sunroom, and I love her mix of furnishings, as well as the color palette she used.
She writes, "These are photos of the sunroom in my 1920s bungalow. After living in this house for almost two years and working on collecting furniture and making it our own, this is our first truly completed room!
On the Market: A Frank Lloyd Wright Home in Central California
If you have a love for midcentury architecture and $2.7 million to spare, then consider moving to California's Central Valley to live in the beautiful, wonderfully maintained Fawcett House. This 3,700-square-foot home was designed by the famous modern architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1955, and it was completed in 1961, two years after Wright died. The six-bedroom, four-and-a-half bath home is situated on 80 acres, and hunkers down into the farming landscape, with a low-pitched roof and angular wings that reach out into the fields.
Get the Look: Revolutionary Road
Among the many reasons to see Revolutionary Road — stellar performances, dark humor, a haunting story — I managed to find another: the stunning interiors inhabited by Frank and April Wheeler (played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet). Set in 1955, the movie, much like Mad Men, captures a bygone era with authentic pieces that still look oh-so-stylish.
I found myself coveting just about every chair in the Wheelers' living room, not to mention the adorable accents in their kitchen.
Desire/Acquire: Modern Sideboard
A sideboard is an incredibly useful piece of furniture. At large dinner parties, it can be used as an additional serving area, or even as a temporary cocktail bar. And in everyday living, it adds attractive storage space for your finer dishes and table linens.
Guess Who Designed This?
This chair was designed by a very famous mid-century designer whose home I recently featured on CasaSugar. Can you name the designer?
