We are in ❤️ with a house today! This would be a FUN project to knock out some Sea Ranch style! Check out the blue awnings in the aerial images.

Calvin Seibert‘s incredible sandcastles give us summertime sandcastle goals. These would be cool among the beach forts that pop-up on the Sonoma Coast’s beaches. 

Japanese simplicity. This Tokyo home's interiors would like right at home at The Sea Ranch.

Oh, Google rabbit holes can be so good. Deborah Sussman is on our mind today. Look at her LA projects, and see how she captures the city in color and shapes and mood.

Color! We are definitely not shy of it. It’s so inspiring and energizing. We could get lost for days in this library. 

This project inspires us, and makes us think how the supergraphic legacy that Barbara Stauffacher Solomon created for The Sea Ranch could be reignited.

Remember, you don't have to travel to NYC to warm your buns - we have a chair in our gallery that is ready to warm you up (or soothe any muscle aches you might develop while vigorously shopping at Placewares)! #placewaresinnyc #icff2017 #galanterandjones #gooddesign (at Javits Center)

The Jim Isermann @ Placewares round tray in Pattern 4. It's nearly summer, and, at 19.3 inches in diameter, this tray will be able to serve most if not all on your garden party guest list. It also comes with an optional powder-coated steel base if you are more of a table kind-of person. #gooddesign #isermannxplacewares #jimisermann #summer #party #thesearanch #searanch #gualala #tray #cocktails @jimisermann (at The Maritime Hotel)

True story: we read this long out-of-print book on Charles Moore's life and work in one day on a beach in Hawaii. While not the most likely beach reading in the world, we couldn't put it down (no snorkeling that day!). And if you are interested in Moore or just architecture in general, we think you'll feel the same. It's a fantastic read and is now available in our shop and online. #charlesmoore #architect #architecture #architecturelovers #thesearanch #searanch #wonderwall #mltw #greatbuildings (at Placewares)

We have recently added selected out-of-print books relating to The Sea Ranch to the shop, including Larry Halprin's notebooks, a beautifully produced book from 1972. #thesearanch #larryhalprin #searanch #lawrencehalprin #architecture #architecturelovers #landscapedesign #bookstagram (at Placewares)

Our last day in Italy and we found something incredibly special that we are very, very excited about. Watch this space! #placewaresinitaly #nofilter (at Venezia, Italia)

Arrived to a rainy Venice for a one-night stop before heading on to Milan tomorrow for four nights and then back to Venice for the duration. Excited to be back here for our third visit over the last 18 years. #placewaresinitaly #venice #venezia (at Castello, Venice)

Our bags are packed and we are off to Italy for a jam-packed trip. Follow along here and check out #placewaresinitaly for dispatches from one of our favorite places (and sources of design inspiration)! (at Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT))
