some retro modern furnishing sites


motif furniture

tumblr.










The newest craze in blogging. Launched two years ago, tumblr. lets you share anything.
It's like Facebook, Myspace, iTunes, Flickr, Twitter, email, all of the above combined into one.
You can even search categories, and see what other people are posting.
I haven't explored with it too much...but it seems interesting.

loomstate


















Loomstate was founded as a casual brand dedicated to creating demand for certified organic cotton using socially and environmentally responsible methods of production.

Currently, Target has a limited edition collection in select stores. (The nearest one to me is in Cary).

SF Skateboarder's Dream House


Ms. Bigbie — who had been collecting furniture since she was 14 (about the same time she started skating) and had designed a skateboard clothing line by 16 and graphics for the indie record company Tooth + Nail by 18 — worked at the British furniture design company Precious McBane. Mr. Shapiro became an assistant to Richie Hopson, a British photographer.


When he was offered a job as a team manager for Think Skateboards in San Francisco, they returned, and Ms. Bigbie became a stylist for the do-it-yourself magazine Ready Made. They moved into a rental cottage in the Mission along with two dogs (Sen-C, a mutt, and Rollie, a black Labrador), his musical instruments and her furniture.


Ms. Bigbie filled it with vintage and contemporary furniture, British wallpapers, skateboard art, her boyfriend’s skateboard photographs and the work of friends from the Rhode Island School of Design. She played with Pantone color chips, searching out hues that turned the traditional Victorian filigrees and embellishments of the house into abstractions. And three days after the house was finished in 2007, Mr. Burnham hired her.

Herb & Dorothy take 2

I went to the North Carolina premier of Herb & Dorothy last night at the Weatherspoon.
They WERE cute! A bit eccentric but cute.
The curator of Weatherspoon said that they will not be able to show the collection for at least 2 years, which I guess I will be taking a vacation to see the exhibit in a few years.
