Summer Ace

Well, it’s been a few months! The last post was about dreaming of greener days. This post is about celebrating it’s fruition! It’s early June and Summer is on the brink of full-fledged bloom in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Our garden is planted, the birds are hustling to the feeder, and bee wings buzz around my post-work porch session/cocktail hour. Our little part of the world was hit hard with the chill factor this year. Damned if I’ll let that get me down! The sun is fully shining and mama’s feeling fine! To celebrate this victory lap into warmer weather, I wanted to share some of my favorite A-frame moments in warm weather. A-frame architecture goes deep with me. Not only as an ideal dwelling style, but it also represents total escape, relaxation, and responsibility to make the moments that make good moments happen while we can get ‘em. It’s difficult to picture an A-frame building that doesn’t capitalize on the beauty of nature and the seasons around it. Cheers to this journey of magic and beauty brought to you through simple architecture and design..

Meet Nolla. This is a mobile, zero-emissions summer cabin designed by Finnish design Robin Falck. The cabin is meant to be transportable, and mobile - designed completely without the use of screws or machinery for assembly. It’s a perfect vision for those looking to escape the clutter and chaos of our routine lives and embrace simplicity. Heck yes! More info @ Dezeen



I think a major reason I am drawn to this specific look and style is that the shape forces us to find creative solutions to ‘problems’ we have inflicted upon ourselves. It asks us to treat awkward moments with grace and turn them into an asset, rather then something that mis-represents us. Triangle love is real, my peeps!


Alright alright alright. I think, i KNOW, I have a mini crush on the folks and creators of Lokal Hotel. Bucket list to stay at all 4 of their properties. Check them OUT! Also, for real, can I get a wha WHAT for plywood. I can’t emphisize enough just how much character and beauty a simple sheet can bring.


This photograph kills me! I can see this happening anywhere within 30 miles of me. The perfect harmony of in and out. Only thing, this is actually rural Australia. BLAMO! Let’s make this A-frame craze happen @ Dezeen !

Summon the power of the summer Ace!!
