Lawrence’s Home Makeover


Lawrence, who is a friend of mine recently was featured on Modernica’s blog for his amazing home makeover. As you can see, he did a magnificent job and I’d like to share his tasteful renovation photos here as well.


From the ceiling to the kitchen sink, everything in the house has been carefully planned and turned out stunning. I love his selection of furniture and how well everything works together.  The amount of work and the eye for the little details is something to appreciate. This is a great example of a condo renovation and is definitely set to inspire.

P.S. Thank you Lawrence for sharing your hi-res images! More details here.

Collected by Jason Koharik


I recently stumbled upon a blog by the furniture store Lawson-Fenning and found beautiful lamps designed by artist Jason Koharik. Jason is a Los Angeles based artist who is an interior designer, electrician, contractor, carpenter, craftsman, and a collector.


“The Collected by lamp series is inspired by the beautiful sweeping lines and modeled forms of the Art Nouveau period and early French Modernists. The series represents a “New Nouveau”. Each lamp is a one of a kind sculpture made with a variety of reclaimed and recycled materials that show age and marks from its maker. Each is hand crafted and hammered in effort to create a unique and nostalgic piece that can settle comfortably in a modern environment. ”

I’ve always been attracted to these style of lamps including Serge Mouille,  Jean Prouvé and Charlotte Perriand because those classic designs still feel modern and timeless all at once.
