Around the Web this Week

Here are some links, images and a video that deserve some re-posting this week. By the way, what caught your eye on the interwebs this week? Please share with us in the comments section. Without further ado, here are five of my faves:

I am gaga over these gorgeous pictures of The Greenbrier taken by Cooper Carras and featured in Matchbook mag. We’ve been keeping an eye on this amazing institution for years, and I think Dorothy Draper would be very happy with the way it looks today. By the way, Cooper is married to Design Public’s Merchandising extraordinaire and star of our latest videos, Ali Carras (you’ll learn more about her in an upcoming staff profile). Both of them are very gifted photographers – it’s kind of not fair for one couple to hog all of that talent.

This is just a really cool video of a guy snowboarding in the dark in the hills of France while wearing a way-futuristic-lookin’ LED suit:

Enjoyed this list of salvaged kitchen items over at Salvaged Grace (a new one to add to my Bloglovin’ list, which I’m lovin’; thanks for suggesting it you guys!). Thanks to Liza at Postcards from Colorado, as you led me down the blog-hole to automatism (which I’m also adding to my lovin’ list) which led me to this post. The skull made of pots and pans and what looks like a lot of those big Hi-C cans from my youth (do they still make those? The ones you have to punch two holes in?):

I’m having fun looking through This Old House’s list of best This Old House neighborhoods in the South, even though they were negligent in featuring my neighborhood. A lot of these neighborhoods have come back from neglect and once-dilapidated homes have been brought back to their former glory.

I appreciated this list of the home improvement projects that are the most worth your while.

    Thanks for featuring the Greenbrier photos Becky! And for the record I’d have to say everyone should go to the Greenbrier at least once. The place is such a trip!
