If you have a chance to visit the California wine country, do go. The scenery is just breathtaking and the atmosphere relaxed. The Napa California home pictures in this article feature a property located in the township of Napa. The California wine country contains several small towns, so if you have been there, you will know the region. The architecture is French Country Estate, a fitting theme that matches the flair of the region. The home was designed by Stephen Wilmoth, an architect from Carmel. My favorite room in this Napa home is the kitchen. You know that I am more of a modern design fan at heart, so I would likely change out some of the furniture. I do love the amazing views. Living in Napa would be wonderful for working outside or just relaxing on the patio. Property information: 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, guest house, 4,064 sq. feet, 9.90 acres. Address: 1221 Green Valley Road, Napa, CA. Via.

Here a quite unusual furniture collection called Stardust, or "dust of stars", the first revolutionary product Mario Bellini signed for Meritalia. This is a new series of light padded pillows, ottoman, chaise lounge, armchairs, and sofas that use LED lights with a low power consumption / low voltage and high performance included within the individual pieces. The internal lighting of the Stardust turns them into real source of soft light which can vary throughout the range of colors. The idea was to use material similar to that used for package padding, a metallic mesh of thin steel wires for structure, and a transparent coating to create this ultra light weight collection that you can also take out back by the pool or patio. See the rest of Meritalia's "beyond the norm" furniture collection here.

This year at the Stockholm Furniture Fair, Fritz Hansen released their latest chair design from Japanese designer Hiromichi Konno. The HK10 "Rin Chair" is the next Danish Modern "icon hopeful" that is also in harmony with Japanese design traditions. The Rin Chair fits right in with the long history of mid-century modern furniture from Fritz Hansen that has some familiar characteristics like a circular shape and a minimal base structure. Upon graduating from product design from Umea University in Sweden, Konno worked with design great Ross Lovegrove and helped create the Go Chair for Bernhardt Design. The classic modern Rin Chair features an injection-molded shell available in six colors. See the entire collection of outstanding Danish modern chair designs from Fritz Hansen here.

Loyal readers, I have some great news this morning. Furniture Fashion is now being published on the Amazon Kindle. I am really happy about having my blog listed in the "Arts & Entertainment" section of Blogs. I am a big fan of Kindle having owned one for over a year now. I enjoy the ease of using it, downloading books for a fraction of the cost, and saving trees by being paperless. I understand that pictures are important to us and really help share inspiration in our reader community. Pictures are currently in black in white in the Kindle format, but some day I imagine color will be available for images.
There were over a 1,000 blogs listed under Arts & Entertainment as I browsed on my Kindle last night. I did not see Furniture Fashion amongst the top 200, but I hope to move that up in the future. It is understandable since we are a new publisher. I ran a search under Blogs for the word "furniture" and popped right up at the top. Here is a link for our listing on the Amazon website: Furniture Fashion on Amazon. I hope to find a way to run a promotion and give away subscriptions (if that is possible) to celebrate this event. If you have some time, I would love to hear from our readers if you can provide a "customer review" on Amazon since I believe that is a powerful way to support blogs and help other potential readers understand what the content is about.
