liza from VT's Profile

I hope someone picks up on manufacturing polaroid film. It's so sad to see another film based medium bite the dust.

I had a Polaroid Land 250 which had the nicest film qualities. Great lens, beautiful muted colors. I've posted some 25 year old images on my blog.

By accident or cosmic design, I've almost always lived on streets with tree associated names. Park Avenue in Manhattan. Park Place (near Flatbush) in Brooklyn. Maple Lane and Juniper Lane in Woodstock NY. Spruce Street and Pine Street in Burlington, VT.

The most confusing address I've had was the corner of West 4th Street and West 11th Street in Manhattan. Great block, though.

I prefer the Stark, but honestly I'd have to see the quality of the light they produce. Lamps are not just to look at but to illuminate, and different shades/bulbs can produce such different effects.

That was fascinating. And gorgeous. Does anyone know the narrator's name? I agree with godsfool, very familiar.

Love the cold war propaganda via commodity fetishism. The American way: freedom through choice of material goods.

Excellent cinematography, too. Too bad the credits are missing.

What a stupid sexist and homophobic idea. What would the institution of marriage have anything to do with design? Grrr.

I adore that blue. I bet you will, too, if you paint your walls and the cabinet to harmonize with it. Make your walls a deep hue, even an olive green, with some red accents around the room. And if you can, paint the vanity base in a deep deep hue.

The trick to color is finding the right combinations.

That chair is by Kevin and Jonathan Racek of Stew Design Workshop. They were headquartered in Burlington Vt until recently. Their chairs are both beautiful and comfortable. I had one in my gallery (pine street art works) until a couple of months ago, and I still carry a table and coat rack of theirs. Simply gorgeous.

They are not made in a mold, at least not when I carried them.They are designed on a computer, cut robotically, then pieced together. Exquisite intricate workmanship.

I'm finding great comfort in the fact that you have featured two of the artists I carry (Stew Design and Paige Russell) in your recent features, as well as the story you did on my paint by number show.

As I sit here day after day struggling to sell to Vermonters, I'm heartened to know that at least I'm in synch with Apartmenttherapy.

Find a nice big salvage window. Take it to a glass place. They will replace the glass with mirror. Very cool, relatively cheap way to add a unique mirror to your home.

You can go to most carpet dealers and find leopard print meant for wall to wall, then have it cut and bound in the size you want. They may have to search their catalogs but there are manufacturers out there. I have leopard print as stair runner at home and as area rugs at the gallery. A great neutral without the blah factor.
