Stay Here? Or Move Out?

Recently my girlfriend and I have had to decide if we want to stay in our crammed one bedroom apartment or upgrade and fork out more loot. It would only be for a short time, while we're waiting for our house to be finished, but we would still like to live comfortably and at the same time stash some money away.

The White House, Japananese Style

This Garden & Sea house is many things, but Clean & White are the most notible.

The white gravel acts as an interior space, bringing the outdoors inside.

"Pool" Table

I don't really know where I would put this exactly, but it is a pretty damn cool idea. The UK-based design firm Freshwest showed this table at Tent London, the international creative design event.

“Pool Table“. “Pool Table is made from 50mm acrylic with miniature diving board, reflected and refracted light in such a way that it resembled the depth and hue of an actual swimming [pool].”
