Apartment Therapy takes a look at an amazing example of a mid-century modern home in Los Angeles.

Paging through the slideshow, I’m struck by how the changes in depth and texture and the attention to detail show how an open-plan design, even a busier, more complicated one like this, can be warm and inviting.

Sure, some of the color choices don’t age well (although I think alot of that comes from the age of the fabrics), but those could easily be changed out for more modern selections without killing the vibe.

The architect and owner is Ray Kappe — I’ll have to look up some of his other work when I get the chance.

So after a long year’s wait, the iPhone finally came to Sweden, and thus to me.

Was I one of those crazies who waited in line the first night to get one?

Uh, yep.

Was that a wee bit of overkill?

Maybe, but much of the world is sold out of the 16 GB black ones, so that’s somewhat mitigating (or at least that’s what I’m telling myself, anyway.)

But what does this mean for you, dear reader? Well hopefully, it might mean a few more blog posts from me, now that WordPress has come out with an iPhone app and I can do it on the go.

In fact, I wrote this post on my iPhone (albeit from a rather immobile supine position on my bed).
