House Of M
i have been asked to share some pictures of my new place (admittedly mainly by my mother), and since today was the final day of unpacking, i figured i would take some pictures.
The pictures really don't do this place justice at all. the amount of light is ridiculous, and the architectural details are enough to make a sucker like me weep.
i have been contemplating since i moved in whether i want to make some curtains for myself...im half way enjoying the constant brightness, and it certainly is a good alarm clock. chances are i will give in a make them...it would be nice to have black out curtains in my "studio" for light box use and enlarger use. we will see though.
the only things left to do are upholsterer the two green chairs, and re-dye the brown Eames lounger which shouldn't be too much of a task. i am also on an endless search for a felted elk skin rug, which may end fruitlessly and i might just have to settle with a caribou skin rug.
Kate and i have been in an ongoing debate since i moved in about what sort of taxidermy should be in my bedroom. I figured the opposite sex's opinion is what i should be listening to when it comes to my bachelor bedroom. She had been arguing that all i should put in there is the black bear, to show masculinity and sexual prowess or some crap like that....i thought about this for a while, and realized if the taxidermy in my room was going to represent my sex life i should just stick with a frightened looking whitetail deer. this of course got laughs all around, and i settled on the bear and the deer.....some sort of natural drama unfolding forever in my bedroom. i guess the ladies can choose which animal fits in best.
and yes, my apartment will always look this clean. i have become that OCD.

your apartment is awesome man. i have a very modern-ish house, but it's surrounded by trees and i get no sunlight. i'd kill for that much light.
sweet furniture, too. mid-century for the win. seems like a place that's totally conducive for creativity.
glad to read youre doing alright
your apartment looks incredible! congrads on that find, theres nothing like finding a space that really just suits you
