Even though it’s brutally hot outside, we can still oogle at these gorgeous fireplaces!  Forget massive mantles of granite and wood.  These fireplaces flow elegantly in the middle of rooms and are perfect in transition.  They’re more about elegance than heat production.

These handmade and unique clocks have a lot more personality than run-of-the-mill modern wall clocks sold everywhere.  Here are four of my favorites:

Recycled Bike Clock, $40

Stella Wall Clock with Pendulum, $89

Baby Owl Clock, $48

Large Honeycomb Wall Clock, $199

If you want your furniture to do more than just sit around, then here is an awesome coffee table from Voos Furniture.  It’s a modern coffee table and also a paper shredder.  We love!

As featured on iransdesign, this contemporary home combines the luxuries of modern design in a naturalistic and eco-friendly design:

I absolutely love the jewel tones in the living room:

And the unexpected hints of color throughout the home:

The concrete with two different woods really work well in the open kitchen.

And we mean that literally.  Here are some awesome examples of bright green creeping into modern living rooms everywhere.

This integration of the wallpaper and couch is brilliantly executed and balanced with lots of white:

I love the small pattern on the window shade and the swirl in chairs along with the green accents all over:

The multiple green shades on this sofa alone add interest to the room:

This room follows the “less is more” rule, with splashes of lime green with a neutal palette:

This Boston modern home was designed by Marcel Breuer in 1957.  The open floorplan, ample natural light and retro bookcases are making us swoon.  I love how the decor reflects the home’s time period but with a modern edge, like with the modern sofa and sheepskin throw.  And do you see those awesome dining table chairs?  I love!
