Here is a great home for sale that has been completely redone by my friend. The location is absolutely amazing, just three miles up Emmigration canyon, nice and secluded but still close to the city. It has been completely remodeled, taken down to the studs and built back up. The stark white interior and concrete floors make a beautiful contrast to the canyon setting.

It is currently listed for $392,000 by Mony Ty. You can see more photo’s and information on Utahmodern.org. Let me know what you think!

Wooden toys are so timeless, aren’t they? I love these animal pulls and rattles from Etsy shop The Wood Garden. All of their toys are handcrafted from sustainably farmed hardwood trees. The husband and wife duo behind The Wood Garden began creating natural wood toys for their own children before turning it into a full time business. Be sure to check out more of their unique wooden toys – each handcrafted and finished with certified organic flax seed oil.

Wooden toys from The Wood Garden: $11 – $34

Here is a fascinating look into the life of Richard Neutra through the eyes of his grandson Justin Neutra and other friends, family and clients.

Spotted this cool, reclaimed wood bike rack on Etsy the other day and thought some of you DIYers would appreciate it. It seems simple enough for a moderately handy person to create, plus you’d have your choice of wood/finish to make it something truly remarkable. If you’re not particularly handy, you can purchase this wall mounted bike rack from Cantilever and Press for $75.

I stumbled across Kid O toys today while looking for some Christmas ideas for our 7 month old daughter. I’m a huge fan of wooden toys, and I was stoked to find such a great variety. Kid O has a great assortment of timeless toys like colored blocks, and all sorts of different wooden sorting and stacking games. Pricing is a super cheap with the products shown above ranging from $15 – $65 but the reported quality is very good.

Yoli is Berlin’s first frozen yogurt shop, and I must say I love its minimalist decor. It’s refreshing to see such a clean and colorful space. I wish the many, many, many “fro yo” places in Utah looked a little more like this. I love how the whole shop is just bathed in natural light, too. So pretty. Are there any modern eateries, etc. in your area? Share some of your favorite local spots in the comments!

My personal favorites are the Schneeflocke ornaments (top right).
