What the ??

02.15.10

Snow? Here?? We moved here to escape cold snowy winters! (Not really. That was just a nice bonus. :) ) In the 4 years we’ve lived here we’ve hardly seen so much as a flake, so a pretty white dusting of powder really made our weekend! That and of course Valentines Day. I hope everyone had a lovely holiday!

Unhappy Hipsters

01.29.10

Laugh out loud funny! I look forward to my daily fix. The surrealistic humor is like a modern home version of the Far Sides. Enjoy them here.

You can come out when you can properly explain the differences between
Modernist architecture and postmodern ornamentation.

The things that once so defined him — shag carpeting,
Room & Board sofas, monogamy — now suffocated him.

(Dwell, September 2009)

 

Trapped by the tawny palette, he struggled through yet another brown knit scarf.

Stripper Shoe Planters

01.26.10

I may or may not have a pair of shoes I could try this with…

These re-purposed stripper shoes turned planters would add some cheeky style to your decor.

“The concept is about hard-working women, the increasingly artificial nature of American femininity, and the impossible images that women face in our society. It’s a prickly, spiky, sticky situation…”

Oooms Rocker

01.21.10

Okay, this just opens up all sorts of cool rocking chair possibilities! ‘Rocker’, created by Dutch design studio Oooms, is an universal attachment to turn almost any four-legged chair into a real rocking chair. I love the color variety. (That green!) Pairing this attachment with a vintage chair would give any modern home some quirky style.

DIY Case Study Bed

01.20.10

Check out this great DIY Case Study Bed a reader shared on Apartment Therapy. He didn’t provide overly detailed instructions or anything, but with having no prior sewing experience he did a fantastic job. It’s encouraging enough to make me want to tackle my own upholstery projects.
