more house love

mmmm, yummy, right???

building love

industrial designer david hurlbut bought this 20,000 sq ft building in shambles and filled with pigeon defecation for $100,000 in Selma, AL and then spent another $150,000 in renovations, i love his style and aesthetic, i'd love to find something like this downtown (here in chas) for a price like that, any ideas??? ha!

i'll start looking for furniture, we are probably going to need a few more pieces to fill up the space.

art installation

wow, haven't been around much this week, oops.
between bringing in plants form the cold, nursing a sick dog and other various distractions, well, i guess the week got away from me.

check out this installation done in belgium by artist mehmet ali uysal

happy weekend to all and hopefully i'll be back to regular posting next week

industrial kitchens

in addition to our big open living room (with an ostrich hanging from the ceiling) i really love our kitchen, it is definitely the nicest kitchen i've ever had, and it got me thinking what i like other than lay out in a kitchen, i.e. storage solutions, counter top material, appliances, extra furniture.....

these photos i found over at desire to inspire, a great blog from australia

i especially love, love the red appliances, white walls, and old fans in this kitchen

and i love the reclaimed wood and brushed stainless, mmmmm....

headed to NC this weekend for my first "long ride", wish me luck!!!!

and then there were four

a while back i posted about projects i was working on, well......

to fruition!!

this is the first light fixture i fabricated for our dining room back in july

inspired by the work of lindsay adelman

and this is the one i fabricated for our kitchen

and these are the two new ones, the first i posted about earlier, you can see what it originally looked like when i purchased it, it required tons of grinding to get the layers of brown lead paint off, and probably years off my life as i was wearing no mask and coughed and sneezed for days to follow.

and the final fixture was inspired by a post on apartment therapy

and that should be it for a while as far as fixtures go........

(cue brow wipe)

all pictures shot on my iphone, don't be jealous of our awesome popcorn ceilings!!!

SPACE on film

this is one of the coolest projects, father and son set out to video space, check this out!!!
