Preserving the Decay in Selma, AL

Image from the NY Times.
This man is a genius for being willing to buy an abandoned men's club that's falling apart and turn it into his home. Any little summary I write won't do this place justice. Seriously. Check out the NY Times article here. Also, check out lots of other images of this place in this slideshow.

  3. There's something to be said for restoring an old, abandoned building back to its original beauty; but seriously, when is this dude going to start? Suddenly I feel much better about my "unfinished" projects. So what design style would you call something like that anyway, Sh*tty Chic? I don't know...I'm just sayin'.
