Sacramento Cinder Block Home

092908_sz_jujutv.jpg Not all of us mount our flat screens (if we have them). Rearranged Design features a house tour with Sacramento dweller, Juju. She's been living in a cinder block house for five years and one of the biggest challenges is that with cinder block you can't really hang large and heavy objects on the wall. "Forget modular shelving, flat screen mounting, mirrors, etc," she told RD. "But we really like the look of the cement bricks, so it hasn't set us back too much." Because of her home's restrictions Juju has has to invest in beautiful furniture that can accommodate her few gadgets. One is the beautiful credenza you see above. After the jump a few more shots and ideas from Juju...

Who makes that credenza? It looks so familiar...(and I love it).

It looks like a version of Charles & Ray Eames' modular shelving. It's those circles!

Who is the artist of the characters on that pillow? I know I've seen them somewhere before...
