holy mother of ass
i have been spending a lot of time on 1stdibs lately.
and sometimes i come across something that is so good, so amazing that it literally makes me shout out,
tourette's style, holy mother of ass!!!!!!
so i decided to make it a feature here on MFAMB-
1stdibs friday: holy mother of ass!
every friday i will feature an amazing, shit-your-pants piece from 1stdibs.
1st up:
a late 20th century lucite and deep blue, egyptian marble cocktail table:


the marble has been inlaid in a herringbone pattern:

there is no price listed for this fucker...
which means either the dealer wants to negotiate with you or it's so expensive, just looking at the price will make your face melt off.
i'm gonna say it's both.
when time allows i will also incorporate the piece into a fantasy room mood board.
sounds awesome right?
today i am off to scott's to meet eddie and jaithan..
the wonder gays.
i can't wait.
i promise plenty of iphone pics,
of the boys, the goods and possibly a poop.
love and antique farts,

3 things..
sometimes people contact me to find good things for them on craigslist.
it's up to them to pick it up and deal with the facelift part of things.
i.e. reupholstery, paint etc..
once such person bought a chair and turned it into this:

silvery gray velvet?
i think so.
welcome to 2011, chair.
the power of craig.
also,
i am very into simple porch styling..

sort of a utilitarian country look..i like it.
and finally..

wanna come in and watch me poop?
no really, you can even lay your head down right by my butt.
?????
cute bathroom though.

p.s. i'm pretty sure lonny drops today..
rooms that are doing it for me

there's fur, shiny, tufting, leather...win!

(sheryl crow's hizzy)
i have a soft spot for spanish california easy..plus there's sisal and tufting.
good antiques.
even if you hate roadkill on the wall you have to admit it works in this environment.
speaking of, is that a deer with crazy antlers or is a dead snake draped over it?
just fantastic.
mixing it up in the dining room is my favorite.
fresh and pretty.
this room is like a symphony to me.
presumably not easy to put together without it looking like a store display..
but not for bunny williams!
a 2 run homer for bunny williams.
such style.
not a room but doing it for me nontheless.
flooooooooooooors!!!!
soft and pretty.
how do we feel about those window treatments?
cool or helmets for windows?
enjoy yourselves today.

i wanna like it

but i wanna punch it mostly.
but then hug it cuz it's just trying to be pretty.
your thoughts?

a job well done
and what i mean by that is that i made someone very happy with my decoratory skills.
my client in arkansas was a *dream client.
she knew exactly what she wanted;
"cozy, sexy, glam, warm, sparkly".
we looked at inspiration pics.
talked back and forth via email.
told knock knock jokes and exchanged recipes.
(not really, but i am totally ok with that)
i conceptualized the room.
this:

which became this:

and this:

and the other side of the room- this:

now it's up to her to put it all together.
her house was gorgeous to begin with, it just needed a little flavuh.
that, my friends, is what e-decorating is all about.
and if you want to be a part of this 21st century phenomenon,

*you don't have to know exactly what you want to do this.
i am here to help guide your inner decorator. we will acheive awesomeness together.
pinkie swear.
