Yesterday we had a guest post. If you follow this blog, you’ll know that I don’t have many guest posts here. In fact, I think we’ve had just two in the last year and a half, and they were super good blogger pals of mine. I’m picky when it comes to Offbeat.

That said, I was recently offered a guest post from the bloggers over at the newer, but cool ChicTip.com. I like the blog, I like the bloggers, and I like when good new design blogs emerge, hence, a guest post from them. Also, I like their about page, which notes, “We feature stores, products, artists, reviews, sales, contests announcements, trends-in-the-make and more. Because this isn’t just a blog, it’s a community - for designers seeking inspiration, and for amateur design enthusiasts. This is a place where we can all come together, sharing our ideas, tips, and questions with like-minded people.” Which is totally my thinking about blogs - open, friendly, old-school community, and not snobby at all. Very nice.

Today I thought we’d look at ChicTip a little closer. They have some great posts so far and are worth a visit. Such as…

Mesmerizing isn’t is?

House Bruges is a small terrace home renovation by the imaginative 51n4e.  This tall space is completely covered in timber planks and the arch lifts toward the back, framing trees in the garden. I really like the custom kitchen furniture that was incorporated in this remodel:

At first glance it might seem sterile, but it’s actually very light, and the more I look at it, the more I adore it. It’s almost like these kitchen shelves are floating on air.

51n4e has the most amzing project portfolio, so if you haven’t checked them out, I suggest you do it now. I’d start with more on House Bruges and then take a look at C-mine and Lamot.
