"My Design Life" on Mode

Mode spent 5 hours at my house filming my collection and interviewing me for their web series “My Design Life”. It’s a cool series of eclectic artists and interesting projects; the Samurai Hairstylist is pretty wild.

I was so nervous in front of the camera at first but they did a great job editing it. I'll post pictures and more details about the rooms that were edited out.

Here are all of their "My Design Life" videos (now under Glam.com):

minimodernistas visits the Neville House

The last time you saw my Neville House it had been renovated from a Man Cave to a relaxing lake front retreat. Well now it's been minimodernista'd. I think the 1:24 scale furniture fits so much better in this house.

Deets: Neville House was sold by CB2 in 2011. Ball clock, 3 Sphere Lamp, V-Leg Platform Bed, Long&Low Sofa, Long&Low Chair, Horizon dresser and night stand are all available in the 1:24 scale section of minimodernistas.com. Painting is from Shale, bear rug is from a Man Cave in a box gag gift, other accessories are miniature show and craft store finds.

I can't get over how cute the 1:24 scale 3 Sphere Lamp is. Here it is in 1:24 scale, 1:18 scale and 1:12 scale. It makes a great floor lamp or ceiling lamp. All of these 1:24 scale items plus new 1:12 pillows and furniture are on sale at minimodernistas.com, 20% off through Dec 3, 2014.

Man Cave Make Over

"Lake front property with gorgeous view. Needs a little TLC. Quick sale. As is."

The listing was right about the view, but the small Lake House was in need of a LOT of help. Only one station worked on the TV; the beer fridge made a loud humming sound that drowned out the birds. The beer and cup-o-noodle stains could be cleaned, but the "art" and recliner would have to go.



A major scrub down later, and the Lake House was as good as new.

Deets: Neville House by CB2 sold in 2011. Chairs, credenza, lamp are MaryAnn Roy. Table is Paul MacAlister. Ball clock is minimodernistas. TV is Hallmark ornament, has lights and plays ESPN theme jingle. Accessories are Re-Ment, Kaleidoscope House, Studio 7, HBS Miniatures, and for the life of me I can't remember who made the glass bottles (I bought a bunch of them and can't find the artist's info). Anyone recognize? Updated: Okay, thanks Callsmall, it is Ray Storey. When I saw him in Chicago he only had lighting and no more bottles so I thought they weren't his. I'll have to email him to see if he'll make more.
