Looking for blogs that focus on clean design, in both/either sense: aesthetically clean lined and clean in terms of low VOCs, easy to keep clean, etc. I am looking for the antithesis of the all too easy to find Scenery Porn/Lifestyles of the Rich and Shameless type stuff that seems suffocatingly everywhere.
My ideal home would be on the small size (probably under 1300 sq. ft.), off-grid, passive solar design, no forced air heat, no cloth upholstery (leather is okay in small amounts), no particle board, and no curtains or carpets. We are talking real wood, real stone, metal and glass, not too cluttered or fussy. If it looks like Rococo, it is a big fat no.
It can be architecture, furniture and any other related home/residence type topic. When paper magazines were the norm, this category was called shelter magazines. That included magazines about interior decorating, house blue prints, kitchen and bath magazines, remodeling magazines, etc. So Shelter Magazines for the digital age, with a spartan, clean lined, organic, sustainable bent.
Also, on the small size. I have cooked in gargantuan kitchens. It is usually a real headache. I probably wouldn't want a giant kitchen even if I were ridiculously rich.
I also am interested in things like Zeer pots. I need electricity for the computers I am addicted to, but I would be fine with using passive solar design for most heating and cooling and daylighting for most light and otherwise being a new age hippie, basically.
Beam me up!
Thanks!
