i’ve posted these many times before, but as i just washed all the construction dust off them and they are looking especially spiffy today, i thought i’d post one more time. amongst my most treasured possessions, my dad fished these japanese fishing floats out of the water in the pacific during WWII, and continued through this navy career. these are just a fraction of his collection. it’s important to surround ourselves with objects that have meaning to give life to our homes. in the words of @patrickjhamiltondesigns “without the final layer, you’ll just end up with an apartment that looks like it’s been robbed”.🤣🤣🤣

i sorta wish i could put up my #xmas tree his year, but it was always a several day labor of love attaching the 100’s of ornaments, so now with my hands not working as well as they used to, it would take a week. i’d have to leave it up until march to justify the effort and i don’t want to be that “year round xmas gay” just yet- gotta save something for my old age! plus, last time i put it up, several branches didn’t light, and after sitting in the box for several years, i’m sure i’d be looking at rewiring big chunks, which sounds as appealing as sticking my hand into a fire. but i’ll always have pictures! it was the prettiest goddamned tree *ever* (if i don’t say so myself) and i vow to resurrect her again one day... just not this year. so maybe i’ll attach jingle bells to doris, and call her my christmas decor! that and a poinsettia, and boom- done! 🤣🐕😢🎄#maison21

when i was in design school, i took hands-on material classes in wood, plastic, and metal. plastics was boring, wood shop was terrifying (how to lose a hand in 10 seconds or less!), but i LOVED metal shop, and my favorite was the #knurling machine. this was 20 years ago, and still obsessed with knurling, like this detail from the @brizofaucet #lizte collection. i am looking forward to using it in future #kitchen & #bath projects! #productdesign #faucet #kitchenremodel #kitchendesign #bathdesign #bathremodel #interior #interiors #interiordesign #interiordesigner #maison21 #losangeles #santamonica #westedge #industrialdesign #moderndesign #design
