We've sprung a leak......

Terribly sorry! No episode this week....

A pipe burst in the ceiling of my shop last night dousing half of the shop in brown sewer water - did I mention that it was brown?????? - and I have been rather occupied trying to get it all cleaned up. We are going to have to be closed - probably through the weekend. I am totally bummed!

Anyhoo......that's why we have no new episode. When Sue and I actually got together last night (while the poor sweet plumber - Steven Jr. at Ackerman Plumbing - was toiling away) I just did not have it in me to be very perky on film. Perky, ok - VERY perky...not so much. So I had a lovely carafe - seriously - OK, so half a carafe of White Sangria at LoLo on Alberta...yummy!

Next week, I will be at the Las Vegas Market so you will get a full report...........

Have a great week.........................

EPISODE # 54 - kind of.....

HELLO OUT THERE YOU PATIENT PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!

This week, instead of a video blog (I'm working on a better video system, please be patient), we are taking a tour of my FAVORITE vintage furniture/accessories store - Lounge Lizard - located at SE 12th & SE Hawthorne in Portland. Amazing place - I always find something - ALWAYS! I love working a cool vintage piece into a design plan - there is so much good stuff out there and there is no good reason to not use something. Here is what I found today with a quick walk through.......

This was in the front window. Vintage dresser painted up in black / orange with applied gears - so cool!

They also have vintage dishes/plates, etc - I loved this little mushroom bowl....

A complete collection of dime store bamboo plates - really lovely!

They had a pair of these handsome floor lamps - love the teak legs and the shade....

Another gear dresser in lime/black. I still love the orange!

Incredibly beautiful tamboured roll top teak desk...if only I had room!

Another tamboured piece - a nice little bar perhaps? I sure do love tamboured pieces.



A beautiful red - and I do mean RED - refinished dresser - this is where I got my red dresser I blogged about a few weeks ago...

They had a pair of these cute little side tables....

...and they had a pair of these chairs - just add a cushion with a great fabric......

.....and lastly, a wall of Tiki goodness.......

So there you have it...Lounge Lizard on Hawthorne...get down there!!!

We are late!!!!!!!!

So sorry!!! Technical difficulties!!!! Check back soon!!!
