Sweet playhouse idea. This cardboard cottage is to be assembled and decorated with stickers. Add some paint, glitter, and other doo-dahs to really personalize it. What fun! I think I want one. Will say that the cat demanded it, but we’ll all know that’s not exactly true.
Check it out at FOKaL.
(Apologies for the repost. The photo didn’t attach the first time.)

The Park Inn is in a block of Wright buildings on the town square of Mason City, Iowa. I’ve been watching this project for some years, ever since I stopped in Mason City to see the Park Inn block, and tour the Stockman House. There are very few photos of the building in better days, but they’re worth the trouble it takes to find them. On the opposite end of the block is a bank building built at the same time by Wright which is largely intact.

Somewhere between recycling and sculpture, fence construction has been a rich outlet for vernacular expression. This collection of images is from Protinuss.
Remember when you got the BIG box of colored pencils? Someone continues to be inspired by all those colors. Interesting how the names of the colors stick with us. I see Sarasota Orange!

I’ve always been fascinated with this style of architecture. Between the age of these structures and the fact that they’re made of wood, how they’ve survived the harsh Russian climate is a puzzler. Decay at its finest.
