These are random moments in the life of an indecent designer and the city she loves.

I am a female, carbon based lifeform.
I am a New York City Native.
I am a Design Professional.
I take photographs.
I also sculpt, paint, create mosaics, and play with weapons.
And sometimes, I even dance about Architecture.
What I see, is what you get.

Slow progress.
I have plans worked out in CAD for extentions to the bookcases to bring them up to below the beam (or ceiling) as I hate it when cases don't go to the top (waste of space, that collects dust.) That tv is temporary- it's moving into the back of the house. Xochizlan has a larger one he wants to put in that spot. The space above it will have offset metal dvd cases from plushpod, eventually. The table is only there temporarily. Eventually, I'll put a chair there and move the table farther in front of the window(to the left of the chair, photo right.) The exercise bike will be moved too eventually as that spot is slated for some storage furniture, but since I'm tired of smashing my toes on it, it's going there for now. The chaise (the thing covered with the colored blankets) is *really* shot, (it's also been cross country about 8 times, and about 25 years old) and at some point will need to be replaced.
Right now I'm working on the windowframe (needs recaulking and painting), windowsill (needs repainting) and radiatior cover (needs a new bolt and to be repainted.)
At some point next week I should be able to put the curtains up. Still need to get outlet and light switch covers.
This view shows roughly 60% of the room.
Yep.
Face full of Walrus.
To make a King Cake for the monster.
The purple sugar makes parts of it look burnt, but really, it wasn't. It came out just fine. And the monster got King Cake for Mardi Gras. He finished eating at 5 to 12.
I win.
The end.
I have just enough time...
I also was out of powdered sugar, so I ground my own to make the glaze on the left (yay for coffee grinders.)
There's still 90 min. Left of Mardi Gras...
We're at 94%
calendars (which were overruns by the printer- we've long since sold out of
our original run of 500) that are still available. Although we're almost
there, we're not done yet. So if you haven't gotten your calendar yet, now
would be a good time.
