an old man lives here :: my living room decor wishlist

so i am moving...next friday to be exact.
not virtually but physically. i think we need to clarify that since we're friends on the web and all.

going through my 'want' list on pinterest only makes me realize that i have the same home decor style-sense as a cooky, elderly gentleman. and to that i say - so be it!

when things are gold...they're fancy...when they're dusty, dirty AND gold...they're refined. hence the reason why you simply cannot go wrong with an antiqued gold dinosaur on your mantle. {sarcasm. no, but really.}

here were a few items that fit with the moodboard {oh yes, i did make a moodboard} i made for our living room. that i obviously can't afford or find but will find a way to thrift something within that same vein. 

you can bet your bottom dollar i will. thoroughly, an elderly gentleman was here.

one // tumblers
two // speaker
three // chair
four // dino
five // coffee pot

lanvin love :: black & gold

wow, are these puppies a work of art or what?!
they're half off over on ssense which means they're no longer $1,400 but $745. i'm thinking i need a sugar daddy when i see things like this ;)

manmade street geodes in la

i can't tell you how much i love this project from paige smith, an artist and graphic designer living la. she's taken to the streets of the city and installed her handmade geodes that have to be inspiring every person that passes them by.

i am not quite sure what i would do if i saw one of these in chicago. most likely faint or pet it since i'm not accustomed to seeing pretty things in the loop. if you are around the la area and would like to spot a few of these, she's mapped them for you.

below is a photo of paige's process that she shares on her blog as well as a photo of her installing a geode. how adorable is she as well?!
