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!!!

Like this:

Mad for this plaid chair!

And I know just the place to snatch it up: Lambert & Co at the Chateau Frontenac in Canada! YES! (Y’all, L&Co is inside the hotel lobby, which hotel is linked to above, but — gasp– store seems to have no online presence! WTF, Lambert? Well, fret not friends, just do like we used to do back in the day– call or email them to buy yo-selves some plaid-ness: (418) 694-2151 and lambertco@qc.aira.com)

Like these lovelies:

Oh she done knitted herself a lampshade, y'all!

And never one to be distracted by a lampshade, this one nabbed a fur head-dress:

Fur fantasia!

There was also some sort of sheep theme running rampant throughout Lambert & Co., b/c I think I remember the shop owner telling me something about their history involving Shetland Wool and sheep, fur, lampshades, plaid?

Red plaid pillow with two lambs embroidered on it

Baaaaahhhh brilliant!

Go on y’all and give ‘em a shout to get your hands on some of this chic!!!
