Ohhhhhhhh.

Hmmmmm.

Are you ever curious about what happens after you leave a job, like maybe what happens to your old office…

Well this is my old office.

That guy is standing in the spot I sat at my desk for years. Check out the Bruce LaBruce installation at Peres Projects LA via TryHarder.

They did paint the exterior (my favorite color) black! Which looks awesome!

This makes me all nostalgic and shiz…

Thrifty!

May 27th, 2009

Here are a few more of my thrifty finds from this holiday weekend.

Pair of Blenko double spouted water carafes with labels. These would be my first Blenko buy. I’m really starting to get into vintage glass stuff…its so shiny!

Michael Lax Copco pan. This would also be my first Lax piece. I’m not too hot on the orange.

This is a little Copco tea kettle…I think. It had a little Copco brochure inside of it, but its not marked otherwise.

I also got this Red Wing graphic ceramic container. It’s in great shape, and I like it in the kitchen, but I’m not sure what I’ll end up doing with it.


Thrifty Art!

May 26th, 2009

I went out thrifting in Temecula this weekend and picked up a few small things – one being this ambiguously sexed reclining nude watercolor addition to my collection of thrift store art.



I love the simple black frame and washy background as well as the delicate rendering. I installed it on the wainscoting that encircles the den in order to balance out the little vignette happening on the tension pole wall unit. Ooooh vignette layering, I’m feeling so fancy!

The Boy freaked out when I started hammering a nail in the paneling…he was like “what are you DOING! You can’t make HOLES in the wainscoting”. Which sounded like the silliest thing to yell..wainscoting. What a weird word.

There are all sorts of giant knots and ragged holes in the crappy pine paneling so this little finish nail isn’t our biggest worry. He’s right though – I tend to take down and move paintings almost every week. I do make and patch a lot of holes.

It takes courage to be fabulous…or to make your house look like swiss cheese.
