London Holiday #3 – Tate Modern

Wednesday, July 28, 2010

I spent the whole day at the Tate Modern and it wasn’t enough time. The building was originally the Bankside Power Station before it was converted so it has a really cool, heavy, industrial feel. The lawn is lovely and is surrounded by rows of birches planted around the square perimeter. This river view from [...]

Flea Market Find

Wednesday, May 5, 2010

I sort of fell for these woven panels at last month’s flea market.  They were made in the Congo and would make great wall hangings, framed art or pillows, I think.

Tuesday, January 26, 2010

I found this great Thonet chair at the Habitat for Humanity Restore.  Do not discount that place when moola is tight (and even when it’s not).  The console is another flea market find and the painting, well, let’s call it homemade.

Modern Mix by Day/Bar by Night

Wednesday, January 6, 2010

Welcome

Sunday, December 20, 2009

This foyer was entered in Apartment Therapy’s 2009 Color Contest.  I am not afraid of color when it works for the client and the space.   By the way, those are not photos on the wall, they are colored pencil illustrations done by a friend/artist.  Check out David’s work at wilgusillustration.com.
