I will have to be honest and say that I never thought a barn could be turned into such a beautiful home. It happened in Belgium where architect Rita Huys from Buro2, got her hands on a an old barn in the rolling hills of Central West Flanders, kept its rustic touch but transformed it into a modern home with an elegant and luxurious living space, at the countryside.

The exterior looks simple with an unique character that blends well with the scenery, while at the interior where artist Wim Delvoye worked his magic, style is king. With large glasses that let the light get in easily, with modern furniture, well defined shapes and high quality materials, the verdict is clear. That’s the most beautiful barn I’ve ever seen, and the one I’d sleep in without thinking. – via Wallpaper

The 1-Line Spice Rack from Desu Design is made from 1/4” thick brushed stainless steel bars, and each piece is meticulously welded and finished to create a seamless line which appears to float on the wall. If you look at the pictures below you can see that this is a very good looking way to keep your spices in your kitchen. The rack can be simply mounted on the wall with two screws, and each spice rack comes with 15 glass mini cube bottles with cork tops. The olive oil bottle is not included, but most standard size bottles will fit. All these cost $199, quite expensive, but at least you have the idea and maybe you’ll use it in future someway.
