Casa Link: Hazelnut at Home
The owners of Hazelnut New Orleans, the Casa Shop you met yesterday, don't reserve their interior styling skills for their magasin on Magazine Street. Tom Cianfichi and Bryan Batt, who you may recognize from his role on AMC's Mad Men, are both actors with a knack for interiors and have dressed their Garden District carriage house to the nines in a daring mélange of modern classics (Barcelona chair, Louis Ghost chair), bold colors ('70s avocado walls, a beaded blood-orange chandelier), and thrifty finds (a Salvation Army sofa) that only bona fide creatives could see the potential in. The New York Times has an interesting feature about this duo's design evolution with photos of their home that will floor (or shag carpet) you.Source

Casa Link: Slowly Evolving Home
This intense (and insanely intricate) sculptural home is located in Cornville, Ariz., and was created with found materials over 28 years by artist Michael Kahn and his wife Leda Livant. Made of driftwood and found/repurposed building materials, it's the kind of hippie spectacle I remember fondly from '70s books on environmental design. I've included some more images in the gallery, but definitely head over to the New York Times for the entire slideshow.
