BLANKHAUS

Our lovely little shell chairs came in the mail from Modernica the other day. I love the fiberglass. I love how the charcoal color turned out with the slab. mmmm mmmm good.

I absolutely adore the idea of having our coffee table be a vintage map case with a clear top where I can display some of our photos/maps etc. and switch them out periodically. I have found some metal ones, but we would really love an old wood one like the last one pictured here. They are mucho hard to find though. We’re on the hunt!

Our very first purchase for our place was a Slab table. I’ve always loved these beautiful pieces so we sold our old table & chairs & saved up to have one. We found two local artists from Slab Art in Seattle who specialize in finding beautiful old trees with a story and turning them into something useable. Our Slab is made of out of Deodar Cedar and the base is Walnut. This is from an old tree from Snohomish Washington. I love that our table has a story… that is my favorite things about Slabs. 

I did a post on what our living room looked like last week. This is what it looks like this week. New floors. New paint. No furniture ;) 

I have a slight obsession with bookshelves. Every good book needs a good home. I have dreams of having a built in bookshelf above our fireplace that wraps around our T.V. Both these bookshelf designs made me swoon.

Pretty much love this creepy Harry Allen Hand Hook. Saw it at a furniture store in Palm Springs earlier this year and it is a MUST for the new place. And Harry Allen’s site has some other goodies check it here: http://www.harryallendesign.com/

Last week this is what the inside of our house looked like. We had professional painters come out and paint everything stark white and re-finish the wood floors that were in pretty bad shape. I have to keep reminding myself this is all a process… ;)

Chris and I decided to start this little side blog for a few reasons. #1) We love home design & modern/vintage furniture #2) We wanted to document our process of turning our Blank Haus into a home.

When we moved into our house a couple of weeks ago we sold most of our furniture so we could start fresh with things. So right now we are starting with a blank slate. Here is a picture of our new little haus.
