A clever custom door

Lately, I've been sadly disappointed with most US shelter magazines (haven't you? with the exception of Architectural Digest I suppose). I've resorted to enlarging my subscription pile and now get House & Garden (British); Can I tell you how fantastic each issue of this magazine has been? Well worth the extra import cost.

In the January 2013 issue, the townhouse of designer Michela Imperiali Klemos is featured in a short article thats long on style. I adored the custom door she created between her dining room and kitchen; covered in antique mirrored tiles with hidden Euro hinges and no hardware so it virtually disappears. She even used the tiles vertically to hide the seam where the door opens - brilliant! What do you think of this detail?

Virtual Library

While Christmas shopping over my lunch break today I stopped into the new Georgetown Jonathan Adler store. I love the 'virtual' library shelves located in the rear of the store. This would be perfect for a narrow hallway to display your favorite coffee table books. Just some easy picture ledges mounted to the wall and voila; instant display library! Thanks, Jonathan!
