outdoor spaces


Bunch of saris sewn together. Beautiful birdcage - and the chairs are nice, but bit too girly for me.

Weasley tent, anyone?

All the colors are insanely coordinated. And mismatched lanterns are the best.

So expansive. As a sky to keep the sun out!

Ohg!! But I imagine this as a setting for debauchery and unruly activity. Makes me think of Humbert Humbert and Lolita. How pervy of me. Although they wouldn't do this at all.
Or this is what Jake and Brett would have had if they were in Burguete together? Beating up Cohn would be perfect here. Maybe knock over a few candles..raging fire..apocalyptic tragedy --> the Scorching of The Shire? With hobbit waiters!

Definitely love the billowing.

Many of these outdoor spaces were stolenened from Domino.

Outdoor rooms, more than anything.

up yours, canadia!

New vebsite deehskahvarlee!! It's called uptoyoutoronto (wha?!).

Baby Asswipe

Normally I am very startled by babies/toddlers/rabies, but isn't this baby shirt just annoyingly witty?

This has to be japanese, right?

The efficiency is mind-boggling. And I hate sticky things on shower walls. Poor walls. And it gets gunky.

I guess I have a thing for salt and pepper shakers. But these are MARACAS! How very savory AND spicey!

Basically Quentin Compson.

cb2 OPENED!! Finally! My dear buys:

I've lusted over the cb2 catalogue for a bajillion years, but I've been too frugal to pay for shipping. Yesterday as I was walking to the bus stop, I saw the door open and kind of squealed. Must have been startling/annoying. I didn't bring moolah - diu.
So I went today after work. Oh my god it was so satisfying.

As cheap as the lumiere candleholders are, the glass was weak.

I AM SO HAPPY I'M GOING TO USE THE VASE AND MUG SO FUCKING OFTEN

thieving

I stole me some ideas today.

The springs! How inventive and cheap. Fugly ugly and I love it. Plus I like me some shag (rug. And that's what she said.)


This isn't modest at all.


Craptacular mirror from a 'charity store,' featured on Apartment Therapy LA.


This pattern. It's been around for a while. I saved it to decoupage on a switch board. I got so fucking excited when Lillian and I saw it at the warehouse Discount Fabrics in SoMA. Only in a few lame colors. I want mustard. Which is apparently, the Fall color.

MoMA mia!

I just MoMA Store-browsed for like two hours. Fucking amazing favorites:

For my pet pig obsession (or porky stews), the Pig Cooking Lid from Marna Inc.:


Dozi Paperclip Holder by Mika H. J. Kim in two adorable colors. It would make even more sense for the prickly guys to hold sewing pins.


Lillian bought an all-white wall clock that was featured in Domino similar to the Riki Desk Clock by Riki Watanabe (what a fun name). Is the orange too Ikea? Oh yes, there is definitely such thing.


Omg efficiency:


Cork Notebook from DCI. Vary from the conventional cowhide, moleskine, and cardboard.


Beloved Hug Salt and Pepper Shakers (Alberto Mantilla), from a previous post:


Napkin Notebook. I can and will do this.
