Ace Hotel

OK Ace Hotel, Palm Springs. Your cool.

Whatever.

I’m copying your built-in shelves in the lobby because they are just that awesome and budget friendly. So suck it.

Summer Time

Summer is here and I’ve been thinking of shades sails. They are less expensive than I thought and make a great modern architectural impact. Here in the desert I think they are a must have.

I’ve got a few places on the patio that are in desperate need of shade. Now that the interior of the house is getting less overwhelming to think of and the summer sun is calling I might have to start decorating the exterior in earnest.

I’m going to Hang-It-All

What What!

My new Hong Kong faux Eames Hang-It-All has finally arrived.

I Ebay’d it for $35…but the shipping cost just as much. The shipping is were they really get you. Still overall a good deal since most reproductions cost $149 – $179 in the USA without shipping and taxes. Whatev’s – I’ve been dying for one these for some time, well almost a year, after I passed up a vintage one a year ago for $150 since it didn’t pass the $100 rule.

FINALLY I have somewhere to put my purse. It has been cluttering up the den/office desk since we moved in.

*I installed it in the den since that is our main entrance/exit. We never use the front door.
