Home sweet home.
I've never been so excited for Spring — HBO released a two-minute teaser trailer of Game of Thrones season two yesterday, and it not only shows some of the Ireland beach scene we got a glimpse of earlier this year, but shows off some new characters as well. See the entire clip below, and get ready for a big Spring — Hunger Games and Game of Thrones? It can't get any better, can it? Read more
Even if you're not a fan of the Dragon Age franchise, you're probably going to want to catch one of our favorite geeks, Felicia Day, in her latest web series. Since unleashing the World of Warcraft-themed web show The Guild (and making a few awesome music videos), Felicia is continuing her web/video game entertainment series' domination with six-part Dragon Age: Redemption. Kicking off this Read more
The small Southwestern town of Marfa, TX, may be just a dot on the map, but it has plenty to offer. Home to a vast collection of works and installations by renowned artist Donald Judd (who moved there in 1971) and a breadth of new gallery spaces, it is a destination for minimalism and modernism enthusiasts. It is also perhaps most famous for the Marfa lights, unexplained, spheric lights seen on Read more
The Airstream has been around since the early '30s, when Wally Byam began building trailers in his backyard. Since that time, various models have come and gone, but the classic shape has influenced countless artists, crafters, and wanderlust-struck citizens in general. I'm a huge fan of the classic Airstream shape, so I thought I'd see what I could find from artists and crafters who were also Read more
Slumdog Millionaire, directed by the same guy responsible for Trainspotting and 28 Days Later, Danny Boyle, is receiving rave reviews (to put it mildly) that include: This nice statement from the Wall Street Journal: "There's never been anything like this densely detailed phantasmagoria — groundbreaking in substance, damned near earth-shaking in style." And this one from Time: "A buoyant hymn Read more
Marcia Cross has officially rescued the term "trailer" from any negative connotations traditionally associated with it. Her trailer on the set of Desperate Housewives has been infused with chocolate and aqua velvet, mirrored furniture, and button tufting by Los Angeles-based interior designer David Brian Sanders. Read the article about the transformation on Traditional Home, and check out this Read more
I love classic aluminum trailers. There's something so classy about their shape and design. Recently I stumbled upon Vintage Vacations, a business that restores and sells vintage trailers. To get an idea of what the company does, take a look at these before pictures of a 1946 Spartan trailer. Cute, right? But nothing special. To see the dramatic transformation, just read more Read more
Men love their getaways. My fiancé dreams about his future man cave, my grandfather had his carpentry shop, and my brother has his cabin in the woods. And then there's my father, who spends much of his free time in an aluminum midcentury trailer in the middle of the forest. The trailer — which he's named Old Roy — is a classic Airstream knockoff, and he's done a great job of renovating it in Read more
Although I don't suspect most of you are hunting for an Airstream trailer, I had to share this Design Within Reach model ($49,066) because there's no other way to describe it than Crave Worthy. In 2000, architect-designer Chris Deam gutted a vintage trailer to create a booth for the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, and DWR contacted Deam about creating a special edition trailer for Read more
It's a good thing that Spider-Man 3 looks like it's going to kick ass, because after all this build-up, the movie has a lot of hype to live up to. I already told you guys about the trailer that premiered during "Heroes," but now everyone is excited about the even newer (and final) version that just hit theaters. This preview has a few more shots of Venom (Topher Grace) that we haven't seen Read more
