Vintage, Lately
A couple of weeks ago, I got a new phone. I've never been much of a cell phone gal, but it was becoming increasingly clear that I could not come home every time I needed to check my email. So I joined the smartphone revolution.
My husband is a bit of a tech nerd to my luddite, so he (gleefully) did the research. He kept asking me questions about 3G versus 4G and I kept asking him "does it have a camera? Can I email the pictures to my clients?" Yes, I know that all smartphones have this capability, but seriously that was my major requirement.
Unlike my last phone, I also know how to upload the pictures from this one, and it's fun after a day around town to see what I snapped.
Here's a glimpse at some vintage finds I scouted for various projects last week.
I would love to do a whole wall of these amateur anatomy drawings (plant and animal), either in thin black frames or just tacked up. I love that they are graded--and in red pen!
Funny poster
Gorgeous low boy
Cute desk chairs. (I would recover the seats)
Love the spindle arms. Only $40
Surely this is a cool DIY installation just waiting to happen.
Awesome chandelier--almost a go for a client's dining room.
Crazy pendant made out of wire mesh and a shade frame.
Maybe verdigris will come back with neon and other 80s fodder? Great shape on these sconces.
Amazing little table
Beautiful crystal lamps--so cute in a little girls' room.
Beautiful, unique, and big chinoiserie panel
(all from various shops in the 50th and xerxes area, for any locals.)
My husband keeps trying to teach me how to play angry birds (sorry, not interested.) And I have never used an app. Phones are just not my thing. But I am trying to use this expensive tool and get my money's worth, so tell me: what are your favorite apps? (The phone is an android something or other, if that matters to answer this question.)
Inching onto the bandwagon....
