W’ho wouldn’t love a summer retreat with a rooftop pool? Anti Reality takes that concept one step further by creating a modern vacation home where the roof is the pool. That’s correct, by inverting the home’s roof, they’ve created a basin that is perfect for luxuriating while gazing at the seaside views. Summer House is a 914-square-foot (85-square-meter) one-story dwelling meant to be perched on a coastal cliff. The innovative pool is a standout, but that’s not the only thing that makes  this concept build-worthy. With a wraparound outdoor walkway and panoramic windows running the entire interior, Summer House is the definition of indoor/outdoor living. “One of the key design intents was…

Coloring and coloring books are reminders of a quieter, simpler time in life. Over the last few years, there has been a rise in adult coloring books. These usually consist of intricate designs and patterns such as mandalas and scenes comprised of whimsical swirls and whirls. The quiet concentration that coloring brings is often sought after to help refocus and alleviate stress and its many symptoms. But if pretty patterns aren’t quite your thing, there are other options for your coloring pleasure ­– like this Jason Momoa coloring book from Crush and Color. This Jason Momoa coloring book has 35 pages of coloring goodness. Some scenes depict the Aquaman actor walking a…

Older homes almost always come with a unique and charming history, but one family in Indiana moved into a house that has a particularly strange past. Two years ago, Theresa and Atom Cannizzaro bought a former Masonic temple in the Midwest that acted as a meeting place for one of the world’s most secretive organizations for almost 100 years. Now the couple and their three children — a 12-year-old boy, a 10-year-old boy, and a 6-year-old girl — are renovating the building and turning it into their home. From large open spaces to a haunted library, here’s what it’s like inside the Masonic temple that the Cannizzaro family now calls home. In 2016, Theresa…

What’s better than taking a shot out of a mermaid tail shot glass? Perhaps taking one out of a Himalayan shot glass made from salt. But what’s probably better than both of those put together are these amazing cups that turn into mini galaxies when you add in a clear liquid. Much like how the galaxy bath bomb turns your bathtub into a galaxy when used, these unique cups let you drink the juices of the galaxy with each sip you take out of them. They’re made by Japanese artist Hiromi Sato, and sells them on their shop Sansaku. “The universe that expands when you pour it” The name given to the cups by…

Chicago-based tattoo artist Esther Garcia creates inky black backgrounds on her clients, which are interspersed with delicate floral designs. Sweet peas and garden roses, along with butterflies and birds, emerge from black palettes edged in stylized patterns. Garcia, who is largely self-taught and has twenty years of experience as a tattooer, is known for her lush botanical designs and her artistic project-based approach to tattooing. She shares with Colossal that her current series of black background tattoos began as a solution for cover-ups (a new tattoo deliberately designed and placed to obscure an older one that is no longer wanted). “I found it meditative and very enjoyable to make a smooth saturated…
