big sur beauty

photos by Robert Canfield and Claudio Santini

The Coastlands House was designed by Carver + Schicketanz for a retired couple in Big Sur. Big Sur is one of the most beautiful coasts I have ever seen. I'm sure the view they get every morning is nothing short of amazing. See more here.

beautiful metro station

Check out one of the beautiful, new Metro Art Stations in Naples, Italy. The Art Station program has been going on for some time in Europe. This particular one was designed by the Spanish firm of architect Oscar Tusquets Blanca. Wouldn't mind going down into the subway around here if the stations looked more like this. So pretty.

This could be a fun game...guess the celebrity kitchen. Celebrities are just like us...with better, cleaner kitchens!

This modern farmhouse is the 2012 Princess Margaret Showhome in Ontario. I love the mix of textures and clean palette. See all the photos at Canadian House & Home.
