I am out of town this week for work, so it will be a little quiet around here. Posting will resume next week.

Ciao!

The American Look

For those of you killing time at work before the weekend starts, take some time to watch this video. It is chock full of MCM goodies. Thanks to the Lushpad blog where I first watched this.

Weekend Plans

1. Bond, James Bond. Go see Daniel Craig in Quantum of Solace. My theater of choice - Studio Movie Grill.

2. Lone Star International Film Festival - my pick is Visual Acoustics, The Modernism of Julius Schulman.

3. Lakewood Home Tour and Market. Check out some beautiful homes built in the 20s and 30s in addition to a juried art fair. Info here.

Addition to Kimbell Museum

Renzo Piano to design the new addition to the Kimbell Museum. The kids over at FrontBurner have the details.

Check it out here.

Lushpad

Just happened across this website. It's like craigslist, only better - it is completely devoted to modern furnishings!

Check it out here.

Julius Schulman Film

Julius Schulman is one of my favorite photographers and most famous for his architectural and interior photography of iconic MCM homes (think Case Study Homes, Neutra, Palm Springs MCMs). On November 15 and 16, 2008 the Kimball Art Museum will be screening Visual Acoustics - The Modernism of Julius Schulman by Eric Bricker as part of the Lone Star International Film Festival.

If you love MCM architecture and photography this is a must see film.

Information about the festival here.

Pinon House - MCM Renovation

Jetson Green has a nice review of a MCM renovation. My favorites are the pivot entry door and the galvalume ceiling in the kitchen.

See the pics here.
