I always want to do more with less. The principle of less is more doesn’t always work with my communication style. I have a tendency to talk, and talk, in a slightly disorganized fashion, especially when it comes to this house remodel. So stick with me on this post…
I’ve collected objects & furniture over the last 15 years thru barter, cash or early on, thru the painful lessons of credit. Objects & furniture I considered as investments; artwork, sculpture, not merely viewed as a chair. Part of my collecting process: pony up the funds, pick it up, live with it, cherish it…something new captures your attention, store it, sell it. set it free to a new beholder.
Many of these items have been in storage, and simply won’t make the cut in the house, primarily due to size. I’ve started the process via collaborative consumption and ebay. sorry to the good folks at Objectified for hacking their nice poster.
Space 4 Art has joined forces with a dozen members of the East Village creative community for Open Spaces, an unstructured urban art tour form 4 to 8 pm on Saturday, September 4th. Our good friends at hydrodynamica will have their space open.
A homage to Frank Lloyd Wright and Neutra and the lifestyles their buildings accommodated, Chillout Sessions XII takes us to a fusion of time periods somewhere between the 50s and the 80s in the filtered light of California. You gotta check it out the video at Collider. via ISO50
Trying to achieve a reveal where the ceiling meets the wall (on the ceiling) in order to install LED strip lighting. Also, a small reveal on the floor. I’m hoping the floors are somewhat level to for a nice clean look, if not, I heard it can look messy — I’ve searched for various drywall trims and reveals. Pretty cool tricks. Adding channels, insets, etc to your drywall. Some a bit too trick for my liking. I found this product from trim text. The “Reveal bead” and “Shadow bead” for my strip lighting.
No master plan developed for the exterior as of yet… so we created a small setup from old form boards left over from the waterproofing job. The purpose was to give our newly purchased element a home. Not a lot of love online for this little guy, however, I think peops have it wrong. Yea, the access panel to the propane isn’t hinged for easy access, but it’s a easy enough — a pressure fitted panel easily snaps out. Overall, nice design. We’ll see how the cooking goes…
