The reason for so few (read: zero) posts these days is that my husband and I have been in a long (about 2 month) process of trying to close on our first house. In the meantime, our apartment has been rented so we had to pack up our home and studios to take temporary residence with my parents. Now my brother has been in town for Christmas so we are getting to enjoying an extended togethery time like we haven’t had since we were small. These shots are from around my parents house during last week snow storm.
Though it reminds me of work by one of my favorite artists, Tara Donovan can’t take any credit for this everyday-stuff-turned-art. It’s by a malfunctioning automatic dispenser which spat an entire roll of papertowel most carefully on a gray tiled bathroom floor.
Abbey should be excited about this post because it includes more photos from woodpiles in Vermont.
These amazing birch logs at my Father-in-law’s (also named Bob) have turned all metallic and pealing beautiful. You might remember my other photos of his woodpile which have made their way around my blog block.
This photo taken by BobDad (that’s easier to type) is of his parents’ wood pile. It’s a good illustration of their overall well-stocked and organized home.
And while we’re on the subject of stacks, this is a vertical collection of floral patterned mattresses back at BobDad’s.
The plan was to visit Dad and camp in Vermont this weekend. Since we have the rare chance to see my brother (a resident of S.C.) in Boston on Saturday and also because the weather doesn’t look favorable for tenting, Vermont will have to wait. Here’s a pic from a recent end-of-May weekend at Dad’s anyway.
I really love the way the colors pop against the concrete and wood in this one. The paper ‘Happy 30th Bob’ banner might still be up today. It was so cheerful we couldn’t bring ourselves to take it down.
My plan is to post a series of scans, likely not to be daily. Occasionally is enough. This first one is of two objects from my inspiration board. It turned out to be a sunny day, so I thought some yellow was in order. Need more yellow in your life? Check out this great vintage flour canister over at How Now Design’s Etsy shop…
Being that I’m a sucker for good chocolate, It was hard to walk by the the kitchen at work the other day and not sample the beautiful treats that were inside these plastic trays. Fortunately/unfortunately I was rewarded for the indulgence by uncovering these golden treasures.
