Vintage Samsonite dining chairs from Repop in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. I love how the colors remind me of candy, so maybe now when we have dinner parties, we will always serve candy with dessert.

my husband's pics
I saw these pics on the desktop and thought I needed to share them. I just found them, as I was putting together my last post, so I haven't asked him yet where he found them. He is watching a movie in the living room with our friend Susan. I love finding the pics he saves on the desktop, and every time I do and I take a look, I can immediately see him in them.
dream home
How simple would it be to just order a kit for your perfect home. Inside my CASA Voque (yes I am back to that) Is an article about building your perfect dream home. I am sure it is a lovely article on how there are alot more resources out now, of how you can do just that.
Here were some websites that were listed: www.loftcube.net, www.smarthousemabo.com, www.casa.rubner.com and my personal fave: www.shelter-kit.com.
who wants to go in on some land and put loft cubes on it?
we can then make short films reminiscent of CQ :)
casa vogue = love
For Mother's day Nick got me some magazines. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I LOVE magazines. I often wonder why I don't change my path and work for a magazine, maybe I think it would then lose its appeal. I don't know what I would do without this love.
The magazines that Nick got me was Italian and French Vogue. I am not proficient in either of those languages, however there is something about the art direction in european magazines that it is equally as good to just look at the pictures. If I am really itchin to get the scoop, I dig up words in my translation books.
Along with the May issue of Italian Vogue came their CASA Vogue. It states "Unique" at the bottom, so I am guessing it is the antique home issue. Again, this is all a guess and part of the allure. This "Unique" issue of CASA Vogue is fantastic, so I thought I would share.
Bruce Goff's round house in Dallas TX
photo collection called "My Home zoo" by Kim Novak (I think)
Carlo Scarpa's home in Verona, Italy. It is such an amazing house, completely encompasses the landscape
Quilts my mom made me
Wedding quilt - she has been working on this quilt for over a year and it is finally finished. This is Nick and I's wedding quilt. Quite amazing.
We went to Paris in 2003 and afterwards she compiled the photos from our trip into this quilt. The middle picture is a haiku I wrote on the plane. I especially love the edges of the quilt because it says " Je voudrais dix timbre posts, sil vous plais" I would like 10 stamps, please. We were outside a post office and my mom really wanted to go and get stamps all on her own, so I was telling her what to say. We were probably outside of this post office for an hour laughing so hard (tears rolling down our face) because she was having a hard time remembering the phrase. It is one of my most favorite moments with my mom.
mama's house
I made this diorama for my mom one year for her birthday. This was the start of my series of animals eating ice-cream and burgers.
Collection of things in my mom's sun porch, which has a western theme.
Bookshelf in her sitting room. The cubby in the middle on the bottom holds all of my old doll house furniture.
Another view of the sun porch
I love all of my mom's things. She has alot of stuff, but it is all very interesting to look at and has a story. She moved a few years ago from a 4 bedroom into a 2 bedroom. I always wondered then how she would get everything into the smaller space. She did and managed to bring in something new to the place as well.
