Modernist Art
I bought this at an auction a few days ago. By commercial artist Joseph H. Shepherd aka “Shep”. I bought about five pieces all together, but this is my favorite one. I don’t have much information about him, but if anyone else does, please let me know! See the close up of the green modern house? Neat-o.
My Fall Lust List
I am SO excited corduroys are back! I want one in every color especially kelly green and orange! I am very into large/asymmetrical collars on sweaters and coats. I really need a flat boot. The flatter the better! Some of my recent favs..
1. Stretch vintage matchstick cord from J Crew
2. Mr. Fox ring by Etsy seller soop
3. Tresics Sweater from Akira
4. Sohie wool coat from Soia Kyo
5. Iriss Flat Boot by Steve Madden
6. Dark Multi Stem Bag by Orla Kiely
Weekend Score
Didn’t find too much this weekend, but I did get a fabulous 50’s lamp! Not sure where I am going to put it yet, maybe Samson’s nursery since it has an animal theme. I wish the shade was fiberglass, but the design is just so great. The animals are sculptured wood with painted white eyeballs. So simple!
Mirror Me
I’ve been putting off the bathrooms for just too long. Unfortunately, due to budget restraints, we can not re-tile, so the pink stays. What I am currently working on is the vanity. I would like a new mirror, sink and vanity base. So far we’ve completed replacing the toilet and wall fixtures. Today I went to Expo Design Center in hopes of finding everything in one place, but came back with new rugs instead. Anyway, I think I’m going with a poured counter top/sink combination-possibly in Corian or Silestone. Just a white top, but the vanity base needs to be replaced as well. Apparently this kitchen line can be made into a bathroom vanity. Very neat. Any help would greatly be appreciated. It comes in many color combinations too. In the meantime, here are some before pictures while I decide…
Please look past the mess.
The lights are from Restoration Hardware-currently looking for new mirror.
Look at this neat-o teardrop mirror I found!
