Googie Queen

The more I look at this building, the more I like it. I love the asymmetrical slope over the windows and of course the stonework.
AgilityNut's website informs me that it was apparently part of a 'tiki strip mall' - oh how I'd love to see one of those! It was most recently a car rental place but before that it was a Dairy Queen. Now, I'm still not exactly sure what a Dairy Queen is but I've certainly heard of them before (in American movies, etc.). I always thought they were some kind of ice cream parlour but I'm sure my American friends can tell me.
Leaky_tiki has more photos on his flickr and seems to think it was originally a sales centre for some condos/flats nearby.
I'd love to know its original purpose.
I hope it can be reincarnated as another business soon to stop it sliding into decay.

Plant It

These would look brilliant in a modern home (especially MY home) and I want some now!
The stands come in three sizes - tall 30", medium 23" and short 16" - and you could use them as much more than plant pots.
How about an alternative storage solution? Throw the kids toys in, some dirty clothes, your chocolate stash... hmmm, some kind of lid would be great, methinks.
You can find the selection of colours here but these are my personal favourites.

I think the first piece is the most fitting for me at the moment.

Mini Mid Mod

So my thoughts turned to mid-century style dollhouses (as they do) and I came across some adorable miniature mid-century modern furniture (quite a mouthful) on The Mid-Century Modernist. Turns out I can by these lovely mini chairs from £75 for the Pantons and up to £350 for the Eames lounge set from utility. I'm afraid even at these sale prices they are way out of my league.
Thankfully this blog is for dreaming and so all I need now is a doll house to put them in. Luckily, ThisNext has a list of the best modern style doll houses and I've managed to narrow it down to:
the Merrimack Contemporary Dollhouse
What do you think?
