Beautiful 1950’s Austin Home Gets a Modern, Spacious Interior and Backyard

Home renovations and additions vary drastically depending on the original residence, its current condition, and of course the homeowner's desires and available budget. Some houses need a "gut makeover" because the bones of the house aren't strong enough to continue. Others require a smart rear extension and a simple interior makeover while keeping the original elements intact. RaveOn by Nick Deaver Architect in austin falls into the latter category as the architects subtly remodel the classic Texas home originally built in 1956.

With a handsome gabled roof that seems to float above floor to ceiling glass walls, limestone bases and a row of beautiful oak trees all around, the house's timeless beauty remains largely untouched. Yet harmonious riffs, new insulated glass walls replacing the old ones, a redesign of the house layout, and the removal of poorly planned aftermarket additions bring new life to this jaded Austin home. Inside, the color palette is neutral and soft with oak floors and white walls in every room. Glass walls lead to the outdoors, while additions like the large green couch in the living room and the blue-tiled backsplash in the kitchen make an immediate impression.

Certainly the defining feature of the new interior is the bespoke, two meter tall white oak L-shaped cabinet with ample storage space housing a wonderful collection of vases. On the other side is a coffee station along with other storage units and it is this wooden wall unit that separates the common areas from the private spaces. A curated backyard, patio and pergola structure made of wood, concrete and steel renews the old landscape and transforms it into a great social zone. [Photography: Casey Dunn]

The Story Behind the #TeachersAreHuman Movement

Source: The Story Behind the #TeachersAreHuman Movement The story behind the #TeachersAreHuman movement “Sometimes kids make me cry.” “I forget to eat lunch most days.” “Some days my fear rules my life.” These are just some of the commitments teachers have shared as part of the #TeachersAreHuman movement, which is making waves on Instagram. The purpose of the movement is to provide society (and other teachers!) with a gentle reminder that teachers are more than just teachers – they are people too. People with lives, families, passions and mistakes. Often these confessions are raw, personal, and emotional, and speak to some of the dark corners of the education industry that can be difficult to talk about (like anxiety, teacher burnout, and school climate). But more often than not, these confessions are genuine and honest in a cathartic and refreshing way. The confession that sparked a movement Let’s say #TBT (that’s “turn back time” in Insta) to the post ...

Contemporary Apartment in Ukraine With Stylish Furniture & Purple Hues by Eno Getiashvili

Source: Contemporary Apartment in Ukraine With Stylish Furniture & Purple Hues by Eno Getiashvili When we think of beautiful modern apartments that offer perfectly coordinated contemporary interiors and sleek decor, it’s mostly a space that’s mostly clad in clean, neutral colors, making liberal borrowings from the two ends of the color spectrum – black and White. This seems to be the growing trend worldwide and even those who generally opt for the lighter and far more vibrant shades make sure they remain confined to bedroom walls. But that’s definitely not the case with this brilliant and bubbly apartment pace we stumbled across in Odessa, Ukraine’s fifth largest city. The beautiful 1,184-square-foot condo was designed by Eno Getiashvili and indeed, if you’ve just settled on the current revamped version in its lilac and violet hues, you’ll find it hard to believe that this was once a cluttered space with very little organization. The transformation is indeed a treat for the ...
