Elka at Urban

 NERDS! My Elka painting is 30% off at UO. Ok, school is dismissed, enjoy your weekends.

I miss Brooklyn

Front an old Domino, inspired by the Royal Tenenbaums, O's favorite movie. This is such great inspiration for a kid's room, don't you think? Except for the animal head, gross. This photo also makes me realize I will never own an old brownstone like this one...sad.

Sputnik sweeps in and saves the day

This baby is totally happening for us, like this week! Suck it ugly living room light!

BOY SCOUTS RULE!!!

I bought this Federalist server from an antique place I learned about on the craig-master several weeks ago. I have a thing for Federal style, big time. It is still empty because I have to re-organize all kind of get-out for it. I had to drive over an hour, and when I finally got there, no one was around to help me load it into my antique-mobile! It was just a little old lady and me, and tons of old stuff as far as the eye could see. THANKFULLY, a boyscout troop leader, and his son were browsing around, (they were the only living souls aside from afore mentioned ancient and myself) and manfully offered to load it up for me. Boy did they earn a badge for that one, this thing is solid mahogany my friends. My back hurt just watching them.

Just poking around the house today

 New painting, doesn't my couch look like a hungry muppet?

I got a case of the crazies today, waiting until I feel like being normal again. BTW, that painting is called Joslyn, after one most fashionable lady. (plus, hello, just saying "Joslyn" is fuuuunnnnn. )It sin't in the shop yet, shoot me an email if you wanna know more.

New Umbrella from here, I got some serious shit for it from O and some friends, but dorks, I loves me a good umbrella.

 What? There has to be a reason? That up there is Harry the crab, and Truance the pyramid, and some paint.

Blue Grass cloth + Art = Chin scratch

 As I contemplate how the bedroom should evolve, I am drawn to blue grass cloth. I intend to add moulding to the walls all around the bedroom, b/c it is a large room, and needs a little sass. Anyway....loving the large photographs on blue grass cloth. Very chic.

I love seeing other artist's work, naturally. And like everyone else, my taste is pretty specific, sometimes I don't even like my own paintings, but isn't that normal? Please tell me it is, don't shake your head and roll your eyes! Anyway, Ian Carpenter introduced himself to me, as we online dorks do, and I think his stuff is super duper. Have a look-see.
