Can you believe these are shipping containers?! io9 runs down some great homes places that were once shipping containers. I'm all about upcycling (hellooo I turned my skirt into a pillow on live TV! ) but aren't these just really fancy mobile homes?! LOL!

One57 is NYC's Tallest Building. If You Don't Live Here, You Ain't Part of the 1%!

NYTimes reports "Since late last year, the “trophy” end of New York’s real estate market has been recording eye-popping sales that seem to have little basis in reality." This 1004 ft tall tower called One57 will apparently will be the crown jewel, housing only billionaires and plenty of sugar daddies!

Asha: Tea House w/ Decor Galore! My BerkeleySide Article

09/13/2012

Asha Tea House is my new favorite Berkeley tea joint! Not just because their tea is delish (HK Milk Tea is my staple) but because the level of detail and design owner David Lau and designer Diana Lui put into it is astonishing! In true Millenial fashion these 2 blogged about the Asha story, from demolition to grand opening. I think all people who remodel their homes/business should memorialize the process. 'Before & After' pix just aren't enough now! We want to see the In-Between! Read my article for BerkeleySide here about Asha's tea and store design!

Photographer John Gray's new book captures these amazing stills of New England asylums. Even though they treated mental illness badly back then, they still built these gorgeous buildings to house patients.  It was a different era for sure!
