Music Videos as Modern Poetry

2009 November 13

After donating my over-sized, Sony TV with built in stand too big for my new apartment, I decided to take some time before buying a new one.  I haven’t had a TV for months now and I wonder when I had time to lounge and watch the dumb box.  TV and Pop culture influence American reality like no other.  We obsess over celebrities, long for advertiser’s products and are bombarded by a source that clearly has an agenda.  From this powerful medium, a new genre of mix master media artists is emerging with innovative videos that are like electronic poems.

Venice Beach Design

2009 November 12

The New York Times Style Magazine featured this modern Venice home designed by architectural firm Daly Genik.  The house is open, bright and features an amazing courtyard.  The 2,250 square foot home also includes a 510 square foot guest apartment.  We also like the rockers underneath the trees.

The Poseidon Hotel

2009 November 9

When vacationing, if you like to be near water or even better underwater, take this virtual tour of the soon to be Poseidon Hotel in Fiji.  Twelve hundred feet under the sea, the view looks incredible and I wonder if the fish will enjoy watching us as much as we like watching them.

The Ace Hotel & Swim Club

2009 November 9
This summer, each of us here at the showroom took a weekend to visit The Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs…and each of us loved the place.
Ace Hotel P.S. - King's Highway 1
From the Stan Bitters Sculptures over the outdoor fireplaces to the Case Study Daybeds in The Commune and the King’s Highway Restaurant – this spot is right up our “mid-century meets right now” alley.

Ace Hotel P.S. - Commune
Fantastic food, perfect tunes by the pools, comfy beds, friendly people, and the dreamy location are all conspiring to get us back out there just as soon as those extra days off accrue.

Thanks Team Ace!
