The Weirdest Photo Spread I Have Ever Seen
AD Russia is one of my favorite shelter mags because they always have a super mix of neotrad glamour and avant garde chic, with just a dash of loopy to keep it interesting. The latest issue I perused definitely had some lovely rooms, but it also scored way high on the freakometer.
Case in point:
What. the. hell.
What is even happening here? Why does that lamp have eyes? Why is this in an Architectural Digest magazine? I mean, can you ever imagine Margaret Russell giving this spread a pass?
I don't know. It's kind of awesome. Maybe the American AD should just hop on the googly eye train?
See - they don't even look out of place. Well, maybe just a little. But those perky peepers totally jazzed up that snoozefest, right?
Happy Friday, kids. Obviously I am due for some rest.
Back next week with pictures of the new house, which may or may not prominently feature googly eyes.
Down in the Treme
Yes, Karly and I are headed to The Big Easy to attend my best friend's wedding... wait, was that a movie? Anyway, the blog is going to be out of commission for the rest of the week, but more importantly I'd like to know what we MUST do in New Orleans -- besides drink. The last time I went to New Orleans was in paleolithic times, so I know things have changed. But there are still some iconic Louisiany things to do on the list. #1 is eat gumbo (and drink Abita).
OH MY GOD. Like manna from heaven (amazing recipe here).
So, I need to eat. A lot. And drink. A lot. Also, I would like to buy (affordable) things. Please help me to benefit the fine economy of New Orleans by purchasing vintage lighting and fantastic art. Thank you for your support. I like cemeteries and music, too.
No really. That's my post. It's pretty much your post.
Can you tell me where to go?
Thanks. I love you long time.
