I didn’t wanted to post new stuff on Freshome this Christmas, because these days I have a lot of things to do, especially a few books that I want to read ( 3 of them are already done ), but had to post about this unique Christmas tree idea created by Jane Schouten from All the Luck in the World. The Christmas Tree is made from useless but pretty objects that Jane collected over the years, and is a really unique idea for Christmas. Finally …is a little bit late, but Merry Christmas !

I never thought that a house with red and orange in excess could appeal that much. Outside of Daylesford in Victoria, Australia, the Wheatsheaf House by Jesse Judd draws inspiration from old plywood caravans and bus shelter. With simple lines and an amazing way of using steel, laminated glass and plywood cocoon, the house manages to blend really well with the striking natural scenery by adding to its beauty. Looks like a warm place in the heart of the woods if you ask me, and a great holiday retreat at the same time. Magical! Do you like it? [via DesireToInspire]

You wouldn’t think from looking at the flooring from TING London that the modular tiles are made from vintage leather belts until you notice the characteristic belt holes. The amazing flooring looks so luxurious with the added bonus that no two tiles are alike. The tiles work out to $75 per square foot. The environmentally friendly approach extends to the use of reconstituted leather backing with a water-based glue.
