Cool Idea: Turn That Frond Upside Down
I fell in love with the topsy-turvy tomato planters when I first found them a year or two ago, but I'm so excited to see the concept taken to a sleeker level.
Ranging in price from $25 to $75, the Boskke Sky Planters are made in New Zealand from black or white ceramic. They're modern, beautiful, and completely unexpected.
Roundup: Modern Roses
Do you think that roses should be relegated to old ladies' perfume bottles and shabby chic pillows? If so, I'd like to change your mind.
You'll be happy to hear that an updated take on the beautiful bloom is easy to find and decorate with.
Love It or Hate It? A Barn Door in a Modern Home
This master suite features a barn door in a very modern color. Since it's much too big to swing open, the barn door has been fitted on a track, so it slides open and closed. I love how the less refined door contrasts with the chandelier showcased in the bathroom beyond.
Casa Verde: Ali Sandifer Studio
If you love the streamlined look of midcentury modern furniture, but want something that looks at home in your 21st century home, take a look at Ali Sandifer Studio. A furniture company based out of Chicago, Ali Sandifer Studio creates modern, beautifully designed furniture from sustainable sources.

Love It or Hate It? Groovy Vladimir Kagan Daybed
Talk about eye-catching —I'm having a hard time looking away! This Vladimir Kagan Daybed (price not available) is built from Walnut slab, which is augmented with Lucite arms and legs. I am absolutely in love with the velvet Pucciesque original upholstery.
Roundup: Modern Planters
Your standard terra cotta planters are classics that will never go out of style. But for those of us who live in contemporary homes, a modern planter may be more fitting. So, I thought I'd round up a few planters that will assimilate well with your streamlined architecture.
Coveted Crib: A Very Modern Development
Can traditional and modern elements successfully mix in a home reno? The answer, according to Saunders Architecture, is a resounding yes. When a family wanted to expand their traditional home, the firm proposed an approximately 100-square-foot extension that would starkly contrast the original home's architecture.
Coveted Crib: An Art-Oriented Home
While most homeowners appreciate well-chosen art as a part of their home's décor, this art-collecting San Francisco family has taken it to the next level. After a complete renovation of this house, the home's interiors are absolutely gallery-worthy. With canvas-ready white walls, the home's closets provide pops of orange, pink, and blue color — a surprisingly playful touch in this artful house.
Coveted Crib: Calm and Restrained in London
Decorating is not like getting dressed. While buying all the clothes you love will result in a beautiful wardrobe, you must execute restraint when shopping for your home — otherwise your digs will be an uncohesive headache. But that doesn't mean you have to live in a white box or be super matchy matchy.
Coveted Crib: Lakeside Modern
Taking cues from the natural landscape — in particular, a nearby granite formation — this modern home in Horseshoe Bay, TX, features stone terraces that end at the lake's edge. Vertical concrete blocks and cast concrete are offset by generous windows. Porches and a courtyard marry exterior and interior spaces, while restrained colors and décor highlight the beauty of the home's design.
