Budget Minded Modernist
So, ever since I saw the latest Readymade, I can’t get that astroturf couch out of my head….with my noggin so far into the landscape situation..I don’t think I can resist giving it a whirl. I’m thinking more like an astroturf Mies daybed….not the traditional style Christina and Elspeth used. Once again…this idea would have horrified me before I moved into the Regal Beagle here, but I think I can make it work if I do it right….Have I lost it? Maybe. We’ll see!
I am really inspired by the bubble chandelier in this month’s Readymade magazine by Jean Pelle. It has a Christian Astuguevieille vibe to it with the rope that I think is a clever touch.  It’s a $75 alternative to those who might be longing for the Lindsey Adelman bronze bubble chandelier for a mere $13,400. Adelman’s work is spectacular, but let’s face it, not in reach for most of us. Jean’s take is more casual, but, frankly, I like it. If you wanted to change the cord covering to a more formal material, by all means, put your stamp on it. If you can’t find the magazine, the step by step instructions are available on Jean Pelle’s website. Love, love Readymade magazine, but their website is really not up to scratch….pity.
