Library at EphesusI saw a lot of amazing things on my trip but one of the most inspiring was the Library at Ephesus from 74 AD. Seeing such a unique building that was almost two thousand years old was beyond belief. Of course the whole city of Ephesus just blew me away with how much was still preserved and the intricate details everywhere.

This week our featured website is the Turkish architecture firm Emre Arolat Architects.  The site itself is very well Emre Arolat Architectsdesigned with a lot of white space and minimal clutter. This is really appreciated when you get to their section on works and the whole page centers on the clear, crisp photos of their projects.

Most Popular Decorative Home Hardware of the Week (6/12/10-6/18/10)

Saturday, June 19th, 2010

Well, we are now into the third week of June and Summer is in full swing. Things are almost with my home project, the concrete is done, new deck built, columns, installed, new door, new shutters and the upstairs railing is almost finished. Just one more day of work and it will be fully transformed.

Front Patio From Driveway - Before

Front Patio From Driveway - Before

Front Patio From Driveway - Day 10

Overall I’m very happy with the new look, I think it’s a lot cleaner and more modern. We were almost too late to notice that one of the pillars would have been right in front of our picture window. It hadn’t mattered before since the pillars were wrought iron and more like screens.

This week our featured website is Grace – A Place of Restoration.  Grace is an antiques / interior design store in Missouri which sells architectural salvage, antiques and home decor, they also mention coffee and dessert in their logo which makes it even better. The whole store and overall theme is relaxed beauty. Housed in a former church built in 1854 “Grace” exudes style and well grace. Just seeing this site makes me want to take a trip to Rocheport, MO so I can visit the store in person. I think I see a road trip in my future. Know of a website we should feature on this blog? Send the URL along with your name to: Suggestions @ Habitatter.com)

Now on to this week’s specials: This month we are featuring 15% off all Waterwood solid brass hardware. These wonderful pieces are hand made in Texas and are of the highest quality. Choose from switch plates, cabinet knobs, drawer pulls, appliance pulls, doorbells and door bell chime boxes (made of wood). Their work together has been recognized by such publications as House Beautiful, Traditional Home, Southern Living and Old House Journal who have all recommended the Waterwood line to their readers. Now you can add them to your home at substantial savings this June only.

We are also currently adding a new exciting artist to our line up, Quality Time of Le  Grand Hotel Paris Retro Tin and Paper Wall ClockNew Orleans with hand crafted clocks and signs with a taste of New Orleans. Their inspiration was everywhere — in the historic city itself and in the South’s lingering memories tucked away in rural gas stations, old corner grocery stores, roadside diners and glamorous nightspots. Soon their fascination spread to explore Europe’s long tradition of beautiful travel and product posters.

Our top ten list this week is full of earth tones this week and a few wrought iron letters and numebrs. See what else made the top ten this week by looking below.
