Declutter with Style
Ready to roll out your new modern aesthetic?
Prepare to clear the clutter. Before you can fully go minimal, you have to clear the space.
And for most of us that means decluttering.
Remembering Tulsa's Starchitects
Edward Durrell Stone designed the Tulsa Assembly Center, but it was MJM who were the "Architects of Record." |
Central AIA Tour
Last week I got to spend a day with some of the Oklahoma Mod Squad crew. The occasion was National Architecture Week and the Central AIA Chapter was sponsoring a tour of seven projects in the Oklahoma City area.
I had a great time and saw some inspired commercial spaces, unique homes and promising projects. Everyone agreed and we're looking forward to more pan-turnpike modernism projects in the future!

Working from Home: Ottawa County-Style
Just had to share this blurb from Apartment Therapy.
Not just because it's a worthy read- but it was actually the picture that caught our eye. Right there in the middle of this article I'm reading by Carolyn Purnell about working from home and the ever-evolving landscape of the workspace there is this photo- have a look:
No, not the Mirra chair.
Look up on the wall.
Yeah... what the heck?!? It's a pennant that reads "Miami, Okla."
I'm not sure why anyone would need a pennant from Miami- but sure enough they have one! Wouldn't it be fun to see how many people mispronounce it?

Modern Desk Designs
Jackie admires one of the 4x8 entries at S. R. Hughes.
The crowd favorite here on Brookside:
And a pretty cool chair too! Both from local designers. Here are some more of the designs that went on the auction block to benefit local charities.
What's your favorite?
