Womb Chair

Monday, October 18th, 2010

Well, I got some bad news from Alex . The womb can’t come in tweed…something about the stretch won’t work. Boo hoo!

So, the solids will have to do. Which means…

Shazam.

Gray.

I know – so boring, so safe. But with the frequency I move things around I needed to stick to a color that could go anywhere and stand up to two puppies (I’m holding a sleeping puppy right now and trying to think of names).

Modern Furniture Rental extended the order dates for their custom order shipment through Oct. 20th. Contact Alex if there is a piece you’ve been dreaming about…I can’t wait to get my Womb in a few weeks and finish up the bedroom.

Gray Womb!

I’ve been running around working with the talented and hilarious Laure as well as other great folks (on a real TV show!), trying to finish up design projects, checking out San Diego (hey lurker, this is for you) as well as trying to figure out how to puppy proof the house and a name! Also I think my Google reader just killed itself after being wildly neglected and I am so behind on emails and responsibilities and blogs and all my stories (that’s just crappy TV shows). My iphone is not a real laptop. Seriously. SERIOUSLY.

More soon. Huggy hug hugs and sleepy dog kisses.

Thrifty!

Monday, September 27th, 2010

I found this strange vintage lamp at The Salvation Army for the low low cost of $6. I can’t decide if it is barfing up the lights or slowly devouring them. The petals at the bottom look like some sort of crazy fish mouth or, well, um…a flayed penis.

It was made by Tower Craftsman Incorporated in New Jersey and may be the last decent thing to come out of that state…I’m going to go throw it in a hot tub and see if it breeds.

It’s flaccidly flipping off The Captain! Rude.

Thrifty!

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

I went thrifting in what feels like the first time since hell froze over and was feeling a bit rusty after an extended break from being out on the streets patrolling for vintage goods. I spent most of the day trying to find a groove but only found jack squat while wadding through packed thrift stores listlessly and a bit distracted. I hit all the usual spots and nothing – not even interesting smalls. It was like a wasteland of overpriced crap out there.

On the way to hit the last store on my route, I spotted a sign for a new thrift store that ended up being tucked away in an industrial storage facility in a total no-mans land of warehouses and despair. I can not explain how nice it is to find somewhere new, somewhere fresh, somewhere very well priced. Inside was great – just that perfect mix of jumbled furniture, racks of clothes and strange electronics, disgruntled employees and that very distinct thrift store smell.

Smells like victory.

There is nothing like 50% off day, and nothing is as good as a comfy vintage chair that swivels and rocks and only costs $10.
