Before

After

Scored this amazing dresser at an estate sale early this summer for only $20. Finally got around to painting it a lovely grey/blue. Plus a couple coats of polyurethane for a little gloss. It goes with my Great Grandmother's picture so nicely. Best part, it fits all of my art and design supplies, definitely beats the plastic tubs I used before. You can also see the brass bed frame that I got from another estate sale for only $35. Estatesales.net is my new best friend.

Kudos to my Mother for both of the estate sale finds, and to my Father for all the supplies and fixing/welding the bed-frame!

Some Solid Patterns

 

I made these a while ago, just for fun. Can I do little things like this all day long? The diamond on inspired my new tattoo that I will post a picture of soon.

Kitten Love

This is Frodo. He's adorable. I've watched him before. He's a little bit bashful.

Mattress Protector Ad.

Could be. Ha. Traumatized. Ew.

HAHA. Thanks for the nod Jesse darlin!

Floral

Took some photos of the lovely flowers I got today. They somehow seem even more romantic now in black and white. Perhaps I've been single for far to long... Yearning for more romance in my flowers. But, they really do liven up my apartment, that is currently in disarray with moving.

This summer. This song. These people.

Summer Pools

Died when I saw Morgan Hiscocks instagram shot of this pool (top pool). It looks way too similar to the shot I directed for Target in June (bottom pool). Same floats, but the male models are definitely working it better than the girls. In love.

Antsy to visit Portland in a couple weeks. 

Always wanted to go. 

Moving on up.

Just got back from New York and already on the search for a new apartment and things to fill it with. I took a walk through the National Stationary Show while in town. It made me super envious of all the amazing small design shops. Now dreaming of an artist studio to make lovely things in. Time for a bigger apartment!

I'll post another bit on the amazing work from the National Stationary show. But till then, here a  letterpress card by my travel companion Dude and Chick, it is perfect for my search for new digs.  

Waiting

Waiting to get on a flight and failing is all too common for me. Today I'm attempting to get to New York. The beauty of stand by.

I do have the company of a great book, South of the Boarder, West of the Sun. Which has the best opening paragraph of any book I've ever read.

"My birthday's the fourth of January, 1951. The first week of the first month of the year of the second half of the twentieth century. Something to commemorate, I guess, which is why my parents named me Hajime- "beginning," in Japanese. Other than that, a 100 percent average birth."

Thanks Ray, for letting borrow this little jem.
