Recorded Mary Queen of Shops on BBC last night, wanted to check it out. Super cute.
Anyone thinking of opening a retail space really ought to check out these types of shows. Queen of Shops, Peter Perfect, even that evil pixie Tabitha "hairstylist meanie".
Sometimes we can't see our own forest for the trees.
Today while speaking with an East coast customer on the phone we talked briefly about the ground swell of fresh interest in Industrial pieces. It's funny what the new thing to have is. Recently Jim and I visited a warehouse full of large pieces and some of the things we found ourselves attracted to were simply off the wall. One piece was a 12' rolling steel ladder with a footprint of 7'x 3'. Now, if we owned a house with a secondfloor and no staircase, it would have made perfect sense. However we have a single story with 14' ceilings only in the living room. Owning that ladder would be madness, but we both confessed to having a certain love for the look of it. Another thing we wanted were rolling steel cage racks, 7' x 24" x 7' the only reason for having them would be giant bookcases and Jim has already put built ins in our reading room. Still..
Years ago in Metropolitan Home someone had a pair of round doughnut style wire lobster traps that had been wired up for hanging lamps, LOVED these and have been searching for them ever since.
Today I am waiting on our plotter printer to be fixed so I can start running off my posters in large format, and I'm supposed to be quoting up copper sheeting for a table top but my metal shop is closed today...(?!?!?) ruh roh.
