When I have something in my head, I can only express it with pictures, than words. Right now, what I'm really into, are shower curtains. Yeah, I get into these weird moods where I would focus on one thing, and think about it constantly. I've been looking at different types of shower curtains, and really expresses the bathroom. I always say, it's always good to leave an impression in the bathroom because when someone is doing their..business...you want them to feel relax or make an expression. I always love to decorate a bathroom, it's the smallest room that can make a big impression.
Textured shower curtain, same material as a towel. Gives it an elegant look. Artsy shower curtain of a city landscape. I have thing with maps. I always feel it gives a cool appeal to anything. It plays a shower curtain, and will help you with geography. =) When I went to West Elm store, this is how I started looking at shower curtains. Their style is so classic and elegant.
My love right now is geometric art and sculpture. I love a geometric form, there's something about it! It keeps your eyes moving and makes you wonder how it is form and why it is form. It's the math nerd in me! When I go to art museums, I'm always intrigued by sculptures or artwork with geometric forms.
And then I started looking at sculptures, and how it can be displayed in a room.
This is from MOMA store. The algue sticks. Pretty nifty.
CB2. Again, love this store. The reason why I was looking for a geometric vase. And below, a geometric sculpture displayed on the coffee table.
So went to the flea market on Sunday and found my chairs. It wasn't an Eames chair, but it had a cool modern look that I wanted. Also, an Eames chair, even a used and old one, cost almost a 100 bucks. I just had to get something more affordable, and having two for 40 bucks, I just had to get it. So overall, I'm happy with the living room. As you can see the look I have is more vintage, mid-century modern.
The chairs really helped fill out the space. The artwork that Dan and I made, hence the logo I used for this blog
And the sheer curtains. It's not noticeable in this picture, but it matches the chair and just blends more to the room. I decided to have the stand out pattern be the rug.
Another huge reason I went with these chairs. They can also be used at our table for extra chairs! Don't you love it?! The computer room/extra bedroom for all our guests who will be coming to visit us! We made it the fun room, hence the funky pillows and the funky artwork.
Dan, working hard on the computer. That's my man!
Dan's collection of cds and records. Had to put up Death Cab for Cutie poster and the artwork I did on the side when I was in school.
Artwork from Michael Sieben that I got in Fecal Face shop. Pillows are from Bed, bath and beyond, bought from my lovely cousin. I hope you guys enjoy our apartment as much as we do!
Charles Eames, a designer I worship. Everyone knows who Charles Eames is because of his classic designs.
Every designer knows his classic chairs. I have always been in a search for having his chair. I can never afford it. I'm always looking for the best deal with a remarkable price! That's why I always make that the first search when I go to a flea market. Tomorrow I'm going to Alameda flea market, in hopes that I would find my chair. Oh please, if I could find an Eames chair for less the 80 bucks, I'm a happy camper!! I know it's nearly impossible because every designer, shopper, buyer knows how classic an Eames chair is. In every interior design magazine you see, the best classic modern interior has an Eames chair in their room.
Also, a really cool looking white vase. So, wish me luck!
So, working in the city, there seems to be a clothing style that people have here...and I'm observing and learning. Here is what I think is essential to wear when you're in the city.
Coats! Gets really cold here, so having a stylish coat is a huge essential of city style.
Blouses with a retro style. Comfort is important to me, hence the loose fitting. Just the overall outfit, wearing skirts and tights.
Black shoes. I bought these Aldo shoes (shown above). Can't wait to get them.
Messenger/crossbody satchel handbags. I love these bags, easier on your shoulders as well.
So this is what I would wear everyday. My San Francisco gear! =)
