I've talked about the Clayton I-House in the past. If IKEA and APPLE married and had a very beautiful House-Baby, it would look like this. Clayton had models set up in far-flung places that I hadn't had the time to visit. Last weekend, a very tuned-in friend called and asked me if I had heard of the I-house. "...they just set one up in Evans!..." Evans is a teensy little town north of Denver, not too far from me. Picture the phone dropping and swinging on it's cord, the front door slamming and the sound of a car starting. I'm THERE.
To our delight, the house looks exactly like the very lovely web site photos. A rare thing.
There are a million different configurations of these "modular homes". One is cooler than the next (see their site). The prices are very-very-very reasonable.
I love the way that they FILL these places with light.
Even in the cold winter light, not bad! Here's a perfect example of Creativity in action. A clean, contemporary design in modular homes. Anyone have a little property near the water?
Okay. I try to pass on info that I think would interest my friends. That's YOU, so here ya go.
#1 Guess who's the new product designer for Polaroid? .....Lady Ga Ga !!! No, I'm NOT kidding. I'm SO excited to see what this girl can do.
#2 One of my favorite author/illustrators is compiling her Blog into another book! Hooray for our fabulous friend: Maira Kalman!...can't wait! Anyone who needs inspiration for painting or journaling already owns THE PRINCIPLES OF UNCERTAINTY. Watch for her new book out sometime this year.
....so that's the news for now.
A new Maira Kalman! Be still my heart - can't wait.
So, let's make sure that little property near the water is here on the Central Coast of California!

I want a village of those houses. Those are so cool, I just need a 10,000' barn on the property for all my crap.
