THE MAGIC OF MATCHING METAL AND WOOD

Balance and stability is everything when it comes to interior decorating. When things are evenly spaced you greet people into the space with absolute gratification. It really is bliss when your find the perfect poise.

This can be a challenge to fund Yin and Yang in a home but synergy can be created with a good design eye. Wood and metal happen to be a great match with classic elemental style.

The warmth of the wood combined with the coldness of the metal creates a balanced fusion.

The texture of wood come off as soft and has a natural amiable value that created a comfortable and embracing vibe. Wood symbolizes craftsmanship and has a human connection.

Metal comes off as tough and strong. Metal is powerful and seductive.

This great combo of natural material and industrial material appears astonishing and can be used to make wonderful home accessories. A great inspiration for a future home-makeover!

WHERE TO FIND SECRET ART PLACES IN MIAMI

The art scene in Miami is extremely diverse, and thanks to our eclectic community, Miami has become a world-class art destination! There are places all over Dade County with amazing art that you would never expect to stumble upon. Here are my top 3 picks of places around Miami where you can find some unexpected great art.

Klima, South Beach
When visitors come to this restaurant they admire the art on the walls just as much as the exquisite food on their plates! Two of the more notable pieces are “Tel Aviv Man XVI” by Jaume Plensa, sculpted by carved metal letters to resemble the silhouette of a human-like figure. And a painting of a Spanish bullfighter, entitled “Matador” by Miguel Macaya. These works are a beauty to see in person.

Little Haiti Soccer Park, Little Haiti
This soccer park in Little Haiti has got murals even bigger than the Wynwood Walls. What makes this park so special is that Pinnacle Housing has teamed with residents and artists from Haiti and Miami to create a true cultural urban gallery. A portion of the walls is scheduled for local graffiti artists who will now have a legal place to display their art.

West Dade Solid Transfer Station, Westchester
This art spot is a bit strange but outside of this trash mountain lies a vibrant, 7ft sculpture from Karel Appel that’ll at least give you something nice to look at while you dispose of whatever is it your are throwing out.

TOP 3 BEST DESIGNED UNDERGROUND SPACES IN AMERICA

“Underground” spaces that are extremely well designed are very rare. How can one renovate such a dark space so magnificently? Today I am going to show you the top three best-designed underground spaces in the United States.

The Greenbrier
White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia
Talk about a 5-star bunker. The Greenbrier was a bomb shelter created by the government at the Greenbrier hotel in 1961. Located 720 foot below, the former “Project Greek Island” comprises a 25-ton blast door, decontamination chambers, a hospital clinic, power plant, and a 6-month supply of food and pharmaceuticals. If you wanted the best place to stay under a nuclear attack this would be a living luxury resort.

Mansueto Library
Chicago, Illinois
The glass-paneled domed top of this University of Chicago library sticks out above ground. Students do need some natural light to study! Just below the glass dome is a five-story book depository. An automated system delivers any of the 3.5 million books in an average of 5 minutes. It’s basically a library run by robot librarians! There’s even a freezer set at negative 40 degrees to clean wet, moldy, or insect-infested books. This place is the coolest place to read!

Spa Terra
Napa, California
The Meritage Resort’s 9,000 square-feet spa is located in its “Estate Cave. This spa is filled with steam grottos, soaking pools, waterfalls, treatment rooms, and whirlpools located 40 foot below the hillside. This Mediterranean atmosphere is filled with mosaics, wrought-iron fixtures and earth tones.

INTERIOR DESIGN BOOKS OF THE WEEK

When you start to grow out of your newly wed home designer techniques you learn what sources make the most sense for your aesthetic. Today I am going to share with you a few book that will help inspire the growing home designer to hone there craft

The Good Life: Palm Springs
If you have a love for California inspired décor this is the book for you. California has rubbed off on me. The photographs by Nancy Baron bring so much inspiration to the viewers’ decor style. You would get the bright, airy vibe and with a touch of mid-century modern.

Tricia Guild: Pattern
Tricia Guild is known for her bold fabric, wallpaper designs, and an extraordinary sense of color and pattern. Adding pattern and color can create difference in a space, but it can also be intimidating. Following the success of her books on color, this richly hued coffee table book shares her skills with patterns. This book is a great resource for anyone who wants to add some more color to their life.

The Jonathan Adler Book: My Prescription For Anti-depressive Living
As the title suggests, this isn’t just a home book. It touches on the importance of mental health. Coming home should be an antidote to the troubles and traumas of everyday life. Do whatever makes you feel happy.
