The fish poster -

" I worked at Anthropologie for a little while when I first moved to Houston and was looking for a new job (after leaving the fashion industry in NY). I had to clean out the stock room one day when we were preparing for a visit from Glen Senk. I crawled on a ladder and was picking up the tops of our shelves and this was rolled up there. Anthro has all kinds of Found Objects they sell. It was 3 wks before my husband's birthday and when I unrolled it, I knew he would love it! We have it hanging from brass curtain rod holders. It details the inside parts of a fish."

Vintage mannequin I bought in Brooklyn from a designer that was closing shop. Vintage church bulliten case hanging above desk. Lucite & wood desk - Pieces in Atlanta Lamp on desk - Thomas O'Brien for Target Vintage desk chair - I have not painted or recovered it yet. The next project on my list!

"I painted all the interior doors a high gloss black lacquer to define the space a bit more. We have such a small home, I wanted maximum impact...and I also wanted you to feel each seperate space"
