Great project, like the aesthetic. And it taught me something useful: plywood looks like plywood looks like plywood, no matter how much you tint & polyurethane it. If it were mine, I'd finish th...
Like your work -- and appreciate the way you integrate it into your living space without letting it overwhelm and clutter things up. Would enjoy seeing a pic of your studio -- not cleaned up, but ...
A fully-realized vision -- but of what? Its staged-ness makes me think of an ominous intro sequence from David Lynch. If it really was grandma's house, it would be fine. As a deliberate reenactm...
The egg picture is great -- but they're underdone. My wife was boiling eggs and forgot them while cleaning upstairs prior to a party. I ask, are you roasting something already? Her eyes get real...
I would hang them on a string pulled taut across a room (or along a wall), high enough so they're out of the way. Measure the distance, count the ornaments and figure out the spacing, and tie a se...
For a painter, neutrality of background is a lot about seeing the colors of a painting rather than the color of the wall behind it (or the reflected light from the wall). That is, IF the painter i...
Excuse me, but since when is "turmoil" a verb? Perhaps the energy wasted on agonizing (not "turmoiling") over $2 cups of coffee would be better spent taking your coffeemaker down off the shelf.......
There's a cool book called "How Buildings Learn" by Stewart Brand (Whole Earth Catalog guy) -- with an interesting chapter on people in northern CA rehabbing beat-up mobile homes into L-shaped & U-...
I "mulch" my favorite houseplants with a mix of stones, shells, and other small objects -- broken ceramic figurines, coins from foreign travels, junk bits from the junk drawer, then add a dusting o...

I remember the house I lived in with an ex... I remember every room, and it comes to me in dreams sometimes. Even now, when I've happily moved on.
We drench our homes with ourselves...
It's like a performance art piece -- which is cool. And I'm glad someone filmed it. Maybe they'll start a low-weight/low-impact/fully portable livestyle movement -- or already have.
My dad called this "shun-piking" -- getting off the main road/highway and going local, to see what the interstates have bypassed. He recalled the days before good highways and air travel, when peo...

Spend your (limited) $ on the vanity/sink & a really cool light fixture. Just paint the wainscoating for now, and see if you still hate it.
