Pod chairs and egg houses

Yesterday, Casey (creator of the award-winning, and extraordinary blog, http://caseymini.blogspot.com/) reminded me of the incredible pod chair she created (woven by hand, cushions all hand-made) (I am constantly amazed at her talent, I have learned so much from her blog). Here it is, with Tessie making sure we notice the Beatles pillows:



Coincidently, last night, I saw this wicker egg house on Dornob.com







To learn more about this "egg" residence, go to http://dornob.com/1000-egg-house-on-wheels-for-a-working-urban-architect/. (Although, I appreciate low-cost, portable housing, I think the egg house would work better indoors or in a backyard, and I still like Casey's pod chair better.)

TERRARIUM

Casey also suggested that a terrarium could be used to recreate one of the bubble houses I talked about in my last blog. Yep, they do work! Here's what I found at http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/hanging-glass-terrariums-bubbl-127596




Can you imagine little people, with little furniture, along with the greenery, in these glass bubbles?

POD HOUSES

Speaking of pod chairs and egg houses, I am reminded of the Pod (or Mushroom) House that was built in Rochester, NY, for Robert and Marguerite Antell in the 1960s. Rochester is my hometown, and I was fortunate to spend a little time with this lovely couple when I was 17. Here is the Pod House:

    I could so live in a pod house. When i was little i used to dream of having a bedroom that was egg shaped, the psychotherapist in me now says "womb" but regardless, I still want that room, and maybe mini is the way to go! x

    Many urban planner/ psychologists think we will be happier in smaller, rounder, cozier homes. I know I am fascinated (obsessed) with small, portable houses (I may have been a snail in a prior life-they carry their house on their back). By the way, I love your blog!

    Wouldn't it be cool to make a really, really tiny room in one of those hanging pods?
