Ace Shelving

Monday, June 8th, 2009

We stopped by the Ace Hotel to grab a beer and some fish tacos after sneaking around Palm Springs taking images of landscaping. Overall it turned into a very sneaky camera day. I also had to sneak some shots of how the shelving unit in the Ace lobby was constructed so that I might copy it for my living room.

Here you can see the horizontal brackets. All of the supports are made of thin galvanized plumbing pipe painted black. The main vertical supports pass through each shelf with the horizontal pieces connected by a little three way elbow piece. The back support elbow is glued onto the shelf – I think – it wasn’t quite clear except for a bit of glue leaking out of one of the back horizontal support pieces.

Also these tables? YES PLEASE.
I LOVE the brassy inserts.

I think they could be DIY’d…and maybe I might have to do it.

Musical chairs

Friday, June 5th, 2009


I moved the pair of Bertoia diamond chairs from the living room into the master bedroom to modern things up a bit…well and because they got pushed out of the living room by the new butterfly chair and orange lounger.

The Bertoia diamond chairs replaced this pair of Brown Jordan chairs. So, to keep track…the bedroom before is above with the more regency style chairs.

Then the Brown Jordan faux bamboo chairs ended up moving to the kitchen breakfast bar to replace the Bertoia side chairs

Which then had to be moved out to the patio…


So to recap, a little diagram:

Living room—-Bertoia Diamond—Bedroom—Jordan Brown Faux Bamboo—Kitchen—-Bertoia Side—-Patio

Wow that was lame! And for another equally lame recap:

I have many chairs and only one butt. (-/ = chair, 3 = butt)

-/ -/ -/ -/ -/ -/ > 3

I’m just super addicted to chairs – its like crack. I gotta get my fix.


Kilim

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

Woohoo.

My first Kilim from Ebay finally arrived. At least this time it doesn’t smell like stale cigarette smoke.

I think I really like it, although The Boy walked in and said, “are we going Southwestern style now?”

Hmmmmm. Maybe.
