Then biotch, better make it count by taking your call in one of these babies:

These booths are just begging to be occupied!

YES! Gorg, right? These booths are just BEYOND sassy, with their new paint jobs…and look at the floors too:

Go ahead...

EAT OFF ME!

These are painted in the company’s logo colors using Benjamin Moore’s Impervex latex enamel paint. It’s water based, so the dry time is substantially less than oil based enamels, but it still took me about 4 days to WERK these two ladies out! Red being the absolute biotch of a color that she is to paint with, and b/c every surface in both of these booths was some kind of weird laminate-y horrid glossy surface, I had to use a primer. I used Benjamin Moore’s Stix Waterborne Bonding Primer, which sounds like some sort of torture method. It too is water-based, so it was really easy to use and dried really quickly. Here’s what that step looked like:

Primed...

...more primed...

...more more primed...on the ceiling too!

I hit both booths with two coats of primer. Then painted both out with at least two coats of paint each. The red lady was all kinds of finicky, as pointed out earlier, so of course she ended up getting like 4 coats. Honestly, I could of done even more, but she wasn’t the only thing on the agenda for this office makeover, the selfish skank! The linoleum floors got some love by being scrubbed and then reconditioned with a generous coating of boiled linseed oil, which is just God’s gift…that stuff works on ALL KINDS OF SURFACES…AMAZE!

I know I look good but keep painting...I'll look better!

Ready and at your service!

This is happening:

PJ calling!

This baby was scored off Craigslist! She’s one of two vintage phone booths– thanks New Jersey!!!– that are being primarily repurposed as privacy booths in a new open loft office design project i’m doing! I mean, it’s like CAKE, right?

You should be boothin'!

I’m painting the interiors, gasp phone-booth-o-philes and eventually we’re going to retrofit the light and even wire them with the company’s phones! For now, employee peeps will just use their cellphones to make those delicate calls…like, to their drug dealers! AMAZE! Stay tuned for more process shots of wonder! And happy FRIDAY!!!

Sweet Dreams are made of this shiot!

One of the greatest benefits to living in NYC is getting to experience some cool shiot– from restaurants, museums, shops, shows, and tranny’s. There’s this amazing art exhibit happening right now presented by the Public Art Fund, Discovering Columbus by Tatzu Nishi.

Yeah, I'm standing on a coffee table in a living room...what?

Awww, look ma...ART!

If y’all can’t tell what’s going on here, it’s basically a giant “living room” that’s been built on a platform surrounding a pre-existing statue of Christopher Columbus in Manhattan’s Columbus Circle. And it’s WAY cool to be able to get so up close and personal to something that’s normally 75 ft high! In this exhibit, Christopher “stands” atop a coffee table, (y’all know, where ALL of us keep our statues):

Newspaper? Magazine? Marble statue?

And shut the FU$& you, Christopher with this view:

Oh, get over it, I discovered America, biotch!

There’s armchairs, a sectional sofa, a bookcase with books, even a flatscreen tv (this IS America, y’all):

Even Chris is tuned into the upcoming election...

One of my fav decorative elements was this ‘licious pop art toile wallpaper…

Michael Jackson, McDonald's, Mickey and Marilyn...PERFECTION!

I also LOVED how we were encouraged to get all cozy in the living room as if it was our own…which naturally, Dyl and I took full advantage of…

Dylan as installation...

PJ as sass-pot...

For those who are able, get y’all-selves to this exhibit, which runs until Nov 18, 2012…for the rest of the folks who can’t get some of this action in person, soak it up, there’s a lot of HOT a$$ up under those skirts:

I'm sexy and I know it...

Earlier this week I’d posted about repetition of pattern and how I was going to apply this technique in my own bathroom, gettin’ all kinds of D.I.Y.-dirty on y’all…here’s the pattern I’m working from:

This is our shower curtain...and i j'adore it!

Y’all, here’s a HOT tip…repetition makes for one stylish space, if done in the right way. No, this isn’t some ancient technique passed down by the decorators of yesteryear…it’s really current and makes a huge impact in a space…what is it? This:
