Coveted Crib: Modern in Austin
There's so much to crush out on when it comes to Austin, TX — from its music venues to its vintage shops and swimming holes, it's a city I truly adore. And now I have to add this cool modern home to my list of crush-worthy features in Austin.
Built a little over 20 years ago, the home's open living space makes entertaining a snap.
Coveted Crib: The Dalman House
As if I needed more of a reason to immigrate to New Zealand, now I'm presented with some of the beautiful work of Dalman Architects. Located in the city of Christchurch, the firm's commitment to sustainability and adaptive designs make it one of New Zealand's top residential architects.
I was particular drawn to a house created for the firm's lead architect and his family.
Casa Verde: MetroShip

Do you want to get away for a weekend, but don't have the land or Summer cabin to flee to? Consider taking to the seas instead. The MetroShip, a new houseboat design that favors modern aesthetics and high-efficiency materials, makes it possible.
Name This Chair
In Sydney, Australia, Miss Universe Australia Rachael Finch posed for a picture at the Australia 2009 Pyjama Party at Star City. While Ms. Finch is certainly a stunner, my eyes are wandering to the chair she's sitting in.
Guess Who Designed This Building?
A very famous architect who's known for his idiosyncratic buildings designed this funky building at MIT. Can you tell me who designed it?
Coveted Crib: Neal Creek Retreat
Usually, when I share photos of a gorgeous modern home with you, there's little hope of actually staying at that place in real life. Not so with the Neal Creek residence. Located near Hood River, OR, this two-bedroom home is actually available for rent.
Coveted Crib: A Multigenerational Mountain Retreat
I love the idea of creating a getaway that's all about family. Those were exactly the intentions of architect Kyu Sung Woo, when he decided to build a three-home compound outside of the small town of Putney, VT.
When Woo was forced to flee his hometown during the Korean War, he decided that he would re-create a family home for his extended relatives when he had the opportunity.
Coveted Crib: A Modern Wilderness Hideaway
Longing to get back to nature, but hate the idea of roughing it? Then check out this home, designed by Heliotrope Architects. Located outside of Missoula, MT, the home was built into a hillside on a seven-acre parcel of land, and is framed by tall evergreens and the surrounding mountains.
Coveted Crib: A Cool Calistoga Poolhouse
Poolhouses are often overlooked when it comes to good design; not so with this Calistoga, CA, poolhouse, whose straightforward, modern silhouette embodies pool design at its very best. Featured in Dwell magazine, the poolhouse has beautiful views both inside and out, featuring views of Mount St. Helena, the Palisades, and Napa Valley.
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!"
