episode 58.....

this week's video is taking it's time to download....sorry! It should be up in about an hour or so!

Thanks for your patience!!!!

And she's off....

Sue, that is.......she took the rest of the week off to go see a few plays in Ashland at the Shakespeare festival and was unavailable for filming and I was supposed to be in Paris this week at the Maison & Objet show, ( you will notice that I am not - the picture is from last year...) but that is a whole other story (grrrrrrrrr!!!!) ....so I guess I should probably come up with something on my own........

I will have something posted by tomorrow, I am sure! I have a great client event coming up in a beautiful new space tomorrow....so maybe something about that....

Just have to wait and see......... until tomorrow then!

Next week, I Promise!!!!

Since we have really been working on the water damage at my shop and since I have been travelling this week, we (once again) don't really have a video episode. Terribly sorry - but things are more than a little chaotic....

I got home this morning from the Las Vegas Market and I found some pretty cool things....so instead of a video this week, I have photos of some of what I found...enjoy!!!!

WHEW! There was a lot to see in a very short period of time! More later........

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!!!
