No excuses, no lies, and no broken promises.

Tofino, Canada by Fabian Krueger

Animal photographer Grace Chon’s newest and adorable series Titled “Hairy” captures the cuteness and quirkiness of a dog’s grooming transformation. Each shaggy furry friend was in desperate need of a haircut. Their long, dull look required a drastic change. Each pet was given a Japanese grooming makeover, which doesn’t follow the conventions of dog’s standard cuts. So what you get is funk and avant-gard haircuts, which are works of art!

The results are heartwarming and funny! Since the majority of hairstyles are constructed with scissors, they can take up to hours!

THE SHACK | Broadhurst Architects / hat tip tinyhouseswoon

The shack was created as a logical step between tent camping, and the yet unrealized weekend cottage. This fundamental shelter has no electricity. Oil lamps provide light. Heat is provided by a small wood stove, which is also used to heat water that is delivered to the “kitchen” sink by a gravity system. The vertical drop is achieved by using a hand-powered bilge pump to fill an overhead storage tank. Rainwater is collected from the roof as part of the outdoor shower system. Acknowledging the constant struggle between mouse (and occasionally rattlesnake and bear) and man, the shack sits upon four wood posts with rodent barriers, a detail borrowed from local corn cribs. The board and batten siding is locally milled pine. The roof is standing-seam terne.

The southeastern façade of the building is opened to a cantilevered wood deck with an overhead-acting aluminum and glass garage door. A removable canvas awning serves to shade the deck and extend the living space during wet weather. Small windows on the northwestern façade allow the mountain breezes to flow through the building, and allow occasional views of cows on the adjacent pasture.
