LOL @ "baby prostitutes"

I painted all my walls black in my loft.
I love it.

If you buy the chair in the second photo today you will need to re-rivet the seat before the new President takes office.

I got my Miniature Pinscher on Craig's List for free.
I got lucky.

Recue Org's here in LA are helmed by these insane people that want to know more about me than I'm comfortable letting them know.

www. gentlegiants, anyone? Holy smoke. You have to bring everybody in your house(even your oldest, who is back east for college) to the facility(Go east until you are in Arizona, practically) and any other dog/animal living in the house for an "interview".

Then you fill out a very long applicaton form.

Then they want to come to your home.

Then you have to PAY.

It's a little crazy how good hearted adopters are treated.

It's a cigarette, not a crack pipe.

We Americans can be so uptight.

There is already a blanket that shares my name.

It makes for a sentimental gift.

Holy Smoke! Donald Judd chairs just sitting there!

C'mon AT-ers, if anybody loves an iconic chair it's you people.

Donald Judd's not in DWR, you say?

I kid, I kid.

They're more art, less furniture.

LOL!

You rule! You can't do anything other than respect the insane craftsmanship that went into these old places.

Find a vintage printed scarf, fabric, or wallpaper from the 40s (late 30s-early 50s should do) that has your colors.

It will have your wall color in it. Use the scarf as a reference to help you figure out the missing wall color.

Seriously, it worked for me.

I had an early 40s bathroom with 4 different colors of green tile in the shower alone. More green, 2 shades of peach and a light pink counter tile around the sink, tub and toilet which were white. TP holder, soap and towel holders were deep rose and set in like tile.

I found an old silk twill floral scarf that clued me into what would be the best wall color.

The right color turned out to be a weird pink I found in the tan/beiges at Dunn Edwards.

It was truly an "a ha" moment.

It won't look "period", I promise.

I used my white towels and modern artwork...the hand towel holder was a mounted antler, even.

It worked because the tile and the wall color were all of the same period.

Dunn Edwards has good old fashioned colors and will give you 25% off if you show your AAA card.

In The Library smells heady and warm kinda like Old Spice without the cringe factor. Like the sharp smell of old leather mixed with the sweet part of a book's page.

In The Kitchen smells just like Kiehl's Coriander to me.

Burning Leaves is amazing. It smells exactly like smoldering leaves and then mellows to a very sexy smoky and sweet scent. I think my little tester is almost empty.

M#1 Narcissus wasn't for me but a good friend of mine loved it. So she got a little treat.

The samples are totally affordable.

Last winter, I spent just under $100 trying out a bunch of different things. It was cool to read the story for each blend and then to imagine what they would smell like, agonize over what sample to order, wait for them to come and then have everybody I know try them out with me.

Really, until I saw him mentioned here, I felt like he was more of a storyteller or artist... not just a Room Spray maker.

My landlord's loft is on the Downtown tour.

What with the Modernica sale this weekend, Industrial street is going to be very popular!

Enjoy!
