Pen Pencil Stencil - Mark Giglio
I really love the simple colorful shapes in the design of Mark Giglio. His work spans across more than one medium including: scrap wood turned and painted figures, modern graphic wallpaper, T shirts, and handbags. My favorite has to be the Kokeshi Paint on turned scrap wood, they would look so cool in a kids room.
Cuttin’ glass and takin’ names
My latest Modern DIY came from pure curiosity. I had read about bottle cutters on different sites and forums and thought that could be pretty fun. I live in a area where there are a lot of wineries so that means there has to be plenty of wine bottles laying around. I personally don’t drink wine but was easily able to get my hands on some.
I was also able to pick up a Ephrems Old Time Bottle Cutting Kit on eBay. Get some of the tips and tricks I learned on the way after the jump.
Thrifting in 2010
One of my resolutions for the year is to do a little more thrifting. I have somewhat written off the area in which I live. The few times I have been on craigslist or visited some local thrift stores there were no signs of modern or mid century modern at all. I am obviously on eBay all the time but the prices plus shipping make it a little expensive. I had the idea to look on craigslist in the closest bigger city to us and SLAP! there it was. I called, we drove and after 4 hours total on the road we have a winner! Many of you may remember my hacked Traby credenza, it will be repurposed into a pair of night stands later down the road. Make the jump to see what has me so stoked.
Ahhhh, Cuteness overload - Edmond
While snooping around the web-o-sphere I came across Edmond. “Mobilier vintage et objets singuliers pour petits et grands” or translated “vintage furniture and unusual objects for children and adults” is their moniker. I am a complete sucker for great photography, mixed with some mid century modern goodies, throw some cute kids in and just a touch of fury woodland creatures and presto we have reached cuteness overload.

Keeping it modern on eBay
I hope every one is having a good holiday season. You would think there wouldn’t be soo many cool things on eBay due to the holidays but noooo there are some very cool goodies. I could not resist doing a wall dedicated to the creepy amateur portrait and there are plenty on eBay. The coffee table to very cool, make sure to go check it out, it was hard to capture in this board. Get all the links to these objects of desire after the jump (click the blue +)
