It is refreshing to see a masculine apartment on Apartment Therapy. This lovely Portland home belongs to a fellow named Matt who has great taste and although not all of his pieces are from the same style, they work well together against his concrete walls.
Another thing I noticed about this post was that Matt requested to have comments shut off. What a smart idea! I love Apartment Therapy but people can be SO caddy in their comments to their posts.
This way we get to appreciate what we love about his home and not have to hear anyones petty criticisms. Its called Apartment Therapy! not Aggression Therapy! A-holes!
I am speaking from my own bitterness over the fiasco of negative comments to my apartment entry in the Small Cool 2008 contest.

Wooden Bath Mat Solution

Ikea PLATTA
Target Teak Shower Mat
Atlantica Square Teak Wood Shower Mat

2 Ikea PLATTA deck pieces put together achieves the look of the far more expensive options for only $14.00. So far I have had this for 2 months and its working out really well. Eventually I may change them out as the wood begins to fade. I had the Target option on my shopping list but when I saw the Ikea decking I knew I could work with it. I have thought of doing 3 on the wall to set a spa-like mood.
I even considered using 6 with two rows of 3 to make a smart masculine headboard.

i/o Desk Organizer

Apartment Therapy's Tech Site UnPlggd featured this neat desk organizer made of walnut wood and felt. I love how masculine and hip it is. Its components are adjustable to each persons needs.
Its from Kaiju Studios and they are looking for manufacturing partners.

PhotoBlog: Crystal Village
Walking home from dinner tonight I got to thinking about how crazy I must be that I dont care that its may and its freeeeezing. Everyone is complaining about how cold it is and while I love summer weather... I love walking through the hill with the wind on my face, my scarf flying around and stopping at a cafe for some tea to keep me warm. I get to do this in May :)
I walked down broadway towards pike/pine and I love when I pass Seattle Central and I can see the downtown skyline. On a night like tonight it makes me so grateful to be here. I was the gittiest boy walking home listening to Sia, Pete Yorn and Dido and thinking about how much I love love love it here. I love the weather, the trees, the city, the people, the hill, the buildings and the graffiti.


Come with me
Into this crystal scenery
And wait, til I retain the ticket
You would never have the time
I would love to change your mind
You were there
And it was good in the beginning
Over here, see the lights
Arranging twilight sages
Commence to reveal it to the others
You would never have the time
I would love to change your mind
You were there
And it was good in the beginning
You were there
We were good in the beginning
Yeah, take my hand and come with me
Into this crystal village
And see the lights so fried in brightness
Cos you will never have the time
I would love to change your mind
You were there
And it was good in the beginning
Take my hand, come with me
I see the lights so brightly
And we fall as if we never really mattered
Cos you will never have the time
I would love to change your mind
It was there
And it was good in the beginning
We were there
It was good in the beginning.

PhotoBlog: Home to Home

I love uninterrupted desert sunrises. this is my last look at one for awhile.

Tiny Airport. But sooo convenient to fly all the way into Yuma and not have to go to Phoenix and rent a car.

The scary little plane that could.

There were 3 passengers.

Yuma Airport/Marine Corp Air Station

LAX under construction. My flight was delayed for 3 hours!
