Atonement or a little wine with that cheese?

I feel I must atone for last weeks' cheesy blog post, so to get back to the nitty gritty of interior outlandishness:

Does anyone remember that phase in the furniture world of using faux suede on seats?? Looks great, but faux suede had a little problem: it has amazing 'Memory'-- meaning it keeps the imprint of whoever sat on it even after you leave...

 Well to commemorate such a lovely event the following chair doesn't even try to hide your butt imprint, but makes it the most 'memorable' part of the chair:

Speaking of cradling your backside, Jon Edwards designed and created this rope chair out of 80 meters of rope he dipped in polyurethane resin and molded to create a simple seat:

he also has a foot in this: cork-soled shower sandals that help clean your feet while you shower:

(although that wire brush looks a little painful..)


Lastly, because we all need a little Winehouse with our cheese--

7 Rules

When I see the black page of my blog it reminds me of a blackboard where I get to write all of the rules of the classroom for the delinquent kids in afterschool detention. So, kids here's your list for today:

Rule 1: try not to take yourself too seriously.

Rule 2: take yourself very seriously.

Rule 3: make things, don't take things

Rule 4: be kind to your neighbor, not just the ones that look like this:

Rule 5: work at success, not necessarily money success, but it's a wonderful life kind of success..

Rule 6: try to express some feeling you have in another language.

and lastly, Rule 7:  enjoy the weirdness of the world and all the beauty of it:

Alright, now write that 50 times each,  and I'll be back in a couple hours...

Lovely things

This image makes me think of things collected slowly over time and with tons of character:

Despite the fact that this lofty space makes me want to color on the walls with an 8 pack of Crayola crayons,  I still love the cool clean white walls and simple furnishings:

I think I need this desk below (and my crayola's too):

two poor sheep are feeling cold right now, but I think the result is some really cozy looking chairs:

some wonderful giant sculptures:
