Apartment Therapy knows me?

I'm all over the place today again. At the moment, the insanity versus enjoyment of life quotient is high. Maybe when school ends, so will insanity.  (Though it could get worse.  What do you do with your children for two long months? Us: we argue. It's quite stimulating, really.)  

But blogging is still fun.  For one Apartment Therapy L.A.  talked about my blog today.  The sudden influx of traffic is baffling.  But even more puzzling to me is that they know my blog exists at all.

But back to design,and art.

The doshi levien sofas i just discovered in decocentric got me quite excited.  

Comfortable?  Not sure.  Awesome?  YES! The inspiration too is wonderful:

This site was a mine of wonders and excitement.  Through doshi levien (the name of the two designers,Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien) I discovered the following artists:

The Iranian photographer Shadi Ghadirian. 

And the Los Angeles painter Kehinde Wiley: 

As you might see I'm still struggling with Typepad.  Nothing looks as I need it to look, but every time I try to fix a problem, I create five more, so F@# it.

You didn't spell it correctly. It's F@#* not F@#. Get it together will you. You are getting famous and now everything matters..even your spelling.

first of all apartment therapy is dead to me until they stop trying to sell me crap and use me for market research and disguise it as innocent polls.

second, those last three paintings are amazing.

This is great! I had seen Shahdi's work, but no longer remembered her name to look her up again. Thanks for posting her work!

Good for you to be recognized by A.T, more people should be aware of your lovely blog.

I love the sofa and the picture of the Iranian woman in the Chador is a picture I have seen before on Etsy. This picture was made into a pendant that I thought was very unusual and different I am happy to know the origin of the picture.
