When Etsy met Craig

I dont know if you guys remember that one time I showed you this expensive bootiful cat bed from Etsy? Eh? Eh?
…OK.
Well. Heres that same cat bed. Someone is selling it for a discount sans pillow cushion. I hope that doesnt mean its bad or something. I imagine if your cat was too fancy for it you could just use it to prop up your little feeties or something?
Or put a plant on it. That is usually my solution for all complicated furniture solutions. CAN MY FEET GO HERE. CAN I PUT PLANT HERE?!
Oh yes. OK. Then I will purchase.

Interiors: The Miller house

Rose — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 17:01:47 +0000

I am sure most of you have seen the wonderful Miller house.

If not. OH MY GOODNESS AM I PLEASED TO SHARE.

The Miller House was a collaborative creative effort by Eero Saarinen (architect), Alexander Girard (interiors), and Dan Kiley (landscape).
Although each of these designers had specific tasks to do for the house they collaborated on many original works made only for this house. Like that table. GEEZE LOUIS do you see this table?! Girard and Saarinen put that bad boy together.

Digitizing the Miller house is a great little Tumblr, that gives you an in-depth look on the ins and outs on the creation of this house.

Many of items for the house were custom made. Above is a the candle holders Mrs. Miller chose to go into the house. Girard custom designed several options for her. What a lucky lady.

There is also a lot of really cool letters that the designers and Millers write out to the various individuals involved. This is a letter is written by Girard to Florence Knoll, after Han’s death. It’s interesting to see just how connected each designer was to one another back then.
The letters are like a window into the inner workings of these great designers relationships, thoughts, and professionalism. It’s a pretty neat tumblr and worth the follow.

This video gives you some little tid bits of information and a small virtual tour of the house. Very eye oogling!

That price is for the pair. Seller states that these rugs are from pottery barn. I dont know if that means they are some good quality Kilim, so maybe give it a once over if thats something you are concerned about.

Cheap somewhat stylish table for you eclectic fans.

Do Not Want: Herman Miller’s worst nightmare

Rose — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 00:30:27 +0000

Usually when one reads the words “Herman Miller sectional” on this website one would feel a combination of joy and elation in a deal well-found.
PLEASE ALLOW ME TO SHATTER THIS IDEAL FOR YOU, READERS.

Presenting: The Herman Miller Sectional that makes dogs puke when they see it.
My first impression upon viewing this ad was a sickeningly pink tone reminiscent of cell structure or pig intestines – some thing or another I hated from high school biology. The poster is quick to mention that the couch was ‘reupholstered in the 90′s” as if its current condition is somehow benefited by this fact.
Apparently the sofa has lived most of its life in the hands of his/her grandmother, who is either dead or very, very disappointed.
The poster mentions the abuse by the cats but does not seem to indicate who or what exactly bled out on the far end of the sofa to create such a horrendous stain. (They say it’s water, but we know the truth.)
Finally, after demanding the full price and not offering any help with delivery, the poster continues their extreme audacity by saying that they might “cry when it leaves.”

Cry? CRY?
Did you cry for the 7 years you let your cats use this as their feces harem?
Did you cry when you found the nest of raccoons underneath the third cushion?
Did you cry when George Nelson HIMSELF got stabbed and died while hanging out in your gross garage?
For shame, sir or madam. For shame.
… All that said, for 100 bucks, it’s a pretty good start to a project if you first KILL IT WITH FIRE and then begin from the frame up.

Rose and Ben’s Christmas Decor.

Rose — Tue, 25 Dec 2012 05:29:56 +0000

Here is me and Ben’s attempt at an Alexander Girard inspired christmas tree. After much stalling and frustratin’ myself over the right kinda paper, and the colors, buh, I decided that it isn’t exactly what I would have liked it to look like…but maybe next year we will refine! That’s a great thing about Christmas…it comes again next year. So I have come to comfort myself in saying that each year is another opportunity to make it better. That’s pretty optimistic right? YUP. YUP. That’s what I am trying to be about dear Mimomito. We shall see how long that lasts.
