Glass House model on Today Show?

UPDATE: Thanks Callsmall! Here is the twitter feed pic from The Glass House that she mentioned, oh I really want to see some close ups!!


Also, I just found this video of the Today Show episode. Skip to 2:10min to see the miniature Glass House http://www.today.com/video/today/53295164/#53295164. Here are some screen captures of the video. I LOVE that brown barcelona chair and daybed, so dreamy! I wonder if those are Vitra?




ORIGINAL:
I heard that on the Today Show this morning, Neiman Marcus was promoting their Christmas Book which includes "The Glass House Experience" under the Fantasy Gifts section ($30,000 to stay in the actual Glass House). Apparently they had a model of Philip Johnson's Glass House. Did anyone see the model or see any photos online? I would love to see the model and find out if there are more than one for promotions and what will happen to the beauty after the holidays.

Below is a picture of the model of the Glass House on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. I would love to have a dollhouse like this.

What's new in the Antrim?

I finally found some time to share some of the new pieces I've added to my collection. I backed the kickstarter Modern MC tweeted Tiny Out Loud : A bigger than life miniature film and received this beautiful oil painting on the right side wall. I can't read the artist's signature, so I have to follow up with them to find out who painted it. The Paris wall art is a magnet from a set from Typo, a giveaway from The Shopping Sherpa. And of course, I took advantage of the PRD Miniatures summer sale and got some fab addtions to the house. Click on any image to enlarge.

NEW PRD Miniatures: ottoman and matching pillows, spatial side table, framed abstract art poster, bolero bench, emerson console table (matches the kitchen). The uno sofas, cole entertainment console, and custom fireplace are also PRD, along with some books, accessories, rug and metallic tribal cubes. Can you tell I love Paris?

The Repeat Bookshelves are by me and for sale at my shop here along witht the blue, purble and white vases and planter in the corner are available in a variety of colors here and the white tray on the ottoman here. Stag Head is Dotsan. Accessories: minimodernas, pouff by Pepper, orchid by fortunate island minis, CB2, Tap Plastics, local DH show, ebay finds. Coming next is some new minimodernistas!

Farewell Kaleidoscope House

We had a good run, but it's time to move on. I love my Kaleidoscope House but the colorful panels make it difficult to get the lighting you want and the floor plan is a bit tricky. I've debated swapping the panels out with clear plexi, but with the time and effort that would take, I might as well just build another house. So the KHouse has been relocated to a corner in the living room for the kids to play with. It's filled with the IKEA Lilabo dollhouse furniture, but is often stuffed with cars and legos.

Here is one last look before saying goodbye to "my" dollhouse.
