GETTIN' IT TOGETHER.

We finally found the perfect place for our porcelain dolls that we found at the Alemany flea market. They're still dirty & haven't showered yet. Why don't they look cute/creepy sittin' in the corner of the bathroom bench?
Now we'll never have to shower alone again....

Fancy Evian® Christian Lacroix "Prêt-à-Porter" bottles in the shower too. 

It feels like they should be in our bathroom. They were 1$ @ Big Lots. I love Big Lots. It's like a flea market in there. Every now & then there's some good stuff in between all that junk. They even sell contractor bags for super cheap. I get excited about stuff like that. One day, I won't have the need for contractor bags anymore, that's even more exciting!

Oh look now we can use the sink shelf as a book shelf too! "The Book of General Ignorance" next to the air
purifying Lampe Berger lamp Smells good. Masks that fresh reno' smell well.

Found the perfect nook next to the sink @ the window for Alex's Slow Glow lamp that we bought in Amsterdam @ Droog Design. 

It's such a cool lamp. It's filled with fat. Vegetable fat. When the light is on, the fat slowly melts into liquid. It's so cool.

I was worried about bringing it back on the plane, since it's shaped kinda like a bomb and it doesn't help that my Swiss-Brazilian looks like a full-blown terrorist when he doesn't shave for a coupla days. + everyone looks a little stressed when they're travelling...I sure shit wouldn't want to sit next to him on a plane! I'ld be scawed. 

So we packed it in our suitcase and hoped for the best. It would have sucked to have vegetable fat all over our clothes if the glass did break, but I was more worried about the embarassment if we had tried to bring it with us on the plane instead of checking it...having to explain what exactly it is, "Oh it just looks like a bomb, but it's a designer piece. Organic material? That's just fat. Yes, fat. And Alex just looks like he'll blow shit up", but he would never do that. In fact, he wants to get a tattoo if a little kitty....the fuzzy kind.
...like this : 

The Slow Glow lamp was about 180$-220$ at the time. They now cost almost 800$! We have to find a new euro converter thing to make it work again. Love that lamp.

Most of our design books are still in storage, but we already put these on our shelves. Where to place cookbooks when you don't have a kitchen? Right next to the Sextology book. Then cram the books about small space design
into the small space that's left. No color cordination needed.

Alex's tree stump is looking sexy in our den. It's from kid robot, so I guess it's not a stool but a toy, or maybe it's a stool toy. That's my miele vacuum I got from Helene. Love it! Such a happy color for a vacuum cleaner. It's from Hollywood! Thanks Helene♥

Pixel gun : "Bang Bang!" It's the pixel gun. Arson playing dead.

3-legged orange chair we found on street. It's still disabled & probably will be for some time. I think it's special. It reminds me of the old vegas chandelier I tried to donate to good will but they REFUSED it, so I took it back home. So much rejection. I felt bad, so we're keeping it and will use it for the B&W bathroom upstairs. One day it'll be a show stopper, well maybe not a show stopper, but something special....like the chair.

We have a rug. I really wanted a graphic b&w rug kinda like this : 

Alex wanted one of those super plush rugs like this :

But those don't last if you have two rambunctious terriers like this :

 
So due to the Arson & Riot terrier situation, we got this "rugged rug" instead.

You like? [I still like the B&W rug].

Here's our first piece of "artwork" that we found @ Point Isabel today.

Thai triangle pillows. Hanneke brought these over from Europe to Pasadena when I moved into my first apartment alone. It was my first piece of furniture. And they have been our only furniture (apart from the office chair) since the renovation. We got rid of everything else, but these stayed. 

Herman Miller Aeron chair in sheep's clothing. Because it's COLD in SF.

Pouf, Pouf!

 
Now, I'll go & dream about a sofa....that would be SOFA KING COOL! 

It's getting cozy...a lot of stuff is still temporary (lamp, curtains & unhacked ikea console), but it's starting to feeling homey....

FURNISHINGS & THINGS.

Awww...look! It's a 3-legged orange chair...

Abandoned @ the corner of 23rd & Florida.

So we took it home...

It's all alone.

But look how great it's already getting along with the stairs.

And the desk cabinet too. It fits right in. I wonder if we found it, or it found us.


This my friends, is our first piece of furniture. You like?


NOW WHAT DO I DO WITH IT? 
Add some wooden tapered legs...like this?

Or add a rocker? For the pups.

Or just design our own legs?

What about socks! Does it need socks? After all, summer in San Francisco is cold...

so many decisions...
