commit it to memory, darlings!
and, it goes without saying -- don't forget the footware.

something special is going on in los angeles, kittens. if you're a local denizen, or plan to visit our humble city, you, too, may participate in this marvelous wonder.
alexander calder, darlings. alexander calder.
a WHORANGE hero. at LACMA. now.
experience this!
and this!
and this! it's called "little face." see the face?
calder mobiles = instant joy.
with their slow and subtle movement, abstract shapes, and delicate balancing act, it is easy to feel like a little kid marveling at a gigantic, magical toy. hopefully, calder would be happy with that comparision considering that he once built a mini circus out of cardboard, pipe cleaners, and bottle caps.
oh, and frank gehry designed the exhibition space. inspired by a calder show he experienced at the guggenheim museum, gehry designed guggenheim-esque wall curvature. yes, he went there. behold the curves...
WARNING: photography is not allowed in the exhibit, so no instagraming yourself replicating these mobile poses side-by-side, okay? don't say i didn't warn you!
somewhere in sydney, this home exists.
and that, my darlings, is a very good thing.

...because verner would want you to.

from majestic mountains to clear autumn lakes, artist shaun kardinal takes the "wish you were here" message to the next level with his hypnotic, embroidered vintage postcards.
a needle and thread can weave a mighty fine journey indeed.

and this time it's practical, darlings - - brass shower fittings, brass vintage starburst door hardware, and brass kitchen shelving.
because every room in the house deserves a little bit o' brass.
i'll take one of each.
no...take that back. i'll take two of each.

hello, darlings!
a few years ago, steve found this groovy old payphone at a garage sale and had it painted orange for my birthday! now, the whorange phone sits lovingly in my office, longing for the days when payphones were the "it girls" of on-the-go communication.
i wanted to give our whorange phone a little lovin', so i entered it in modernica's "name your color" contest. you can read all about the contest here.
our whorange phone just needs some sweet "like"-ing from you! simply CLICK ON OVER to facebook and "like" and/or "share" the photo. that's it!
thank you so much! and, if i haven't told you lately, your hair looks fabulous today!
xoxo,
tula
