I’m going to Hang-It-All

Friday, May 1st, 2009

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.

Office

Friday, May 1st, 2009

The office is looking a hot mess.

I really need to figure something out. The wall light is killing me, our paperwork is out of control and there are cords everywhere…but at least I have a new solution for my purse…

Should I add shelves or something? I’m worried about closing in an already tight space with too many built-in features. I already kind of hate the layout of the desk and don’t want to slap more stuff on for just giggles. Then I have this idea about installing a shallow shelf that runs all the way across the wall above the door frame. I guess it wouldn’t be very accessible for storage.

Suggestions?

Portrait of a Lady

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

So where did the lovely lady portrait from the dining room face off end up?

Probably in the worst place ever…

Right over my bed!

Nothing says sexy like a vintage octogenarian judging you while getting your groove on. Well I don’t know, that red dress she’s got on is pretty racy. What a whore!

I still need to hang some bed side lights and install a headboard. I’ve got a plan, now I just need some action…
