We currently have a pair of Bauhaus daybeds that look almost identical to the coveted Charlotte Perriand daybeds. These have been reupholstered in natural linen blend and have new, high density foam. Finally, we have a pair of 1970s tubular chrome cantilevered chairs re-done in the studio using thick Latigo leather, with bolsters custom made from natural black shearling. The details on these chairs are spectacular!</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This morning, while digging for supplies for one idea, I came across the huge basket of pompoms I made (during the long-lasting pompom phase every girl must pass through). They happened to be sitting on top of a pile of IKEA Tekla napkins. I immediately knew how it felt to invent important things, like space travel and french fries. For, a mere fifteen minutes later, I have the "Moroccan" bedding I've wanted since the internet started making me want it. And now you shall, too. Behold, the slightly disappointing iPhone documentary of my creative process: </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For this project you'll need two IKEA Tekla napkins (per pillowcase). Iron them well. Technically, any two dishtowels will work. Not used ones, though. Don't be gross. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The right sides will be facing each other and the pompoms will be inside. It will be a pompom sandwich. Don't eat it. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pin the sides together, making sure to push the pompoms to the center and out of the way of your pins as you go around them so that you don't stitch over them later. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the end with the loops, pin only about four inches on each end, leaving approximately eight inches open in the center. </span><br />

I was inspired by the highly-customized and decorated denim of the 1970s to create a chair with the same feel. The piece is constructed of vintage denim, meticulously hand cut and pieced, fused, and then triple stitched to create a visually stunning and unique item. A bonus feature on this great piece is its ability to recline using the weight of your body as leverage! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2qA_yCdV5XVoQ8pQdkZ6SMBQMKeaCExw9ene3sUyPZvFaKseRT-rlNZ0c7wxa_4hh8XyNwMOsFJAv3PG86ghW2HVlyaR4qUbj1cWjzodi3G-T3jgBJEWmoeBj2EwDINAuS9jF2SAQ3MQ/s1600/IMG_0033.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2qA_yCdV5XVoQ8pQdkZ6SMBQMKeaCExw9ene3sUyPZvFaKseRT-rlNZ0c7wxa_4hh8XyNwMOsFJAv3PG86ghW2HVlyaR4qUbj1cWjzodi3G-T3jgBJEWmoeBj2EwDINAuS9jF2SAQ3MQ/s1600/IMG_0033.JPG" height="640" width="616" /></a></div>

It was such a pleasure making this bag. It's roomy and cozy and perfect for autumn and winter. The exterior is a beautiful vintage weaving in ochre, grey, black, and cream, and the lining is handwoven vintage Turkish striped cotton. . The hand cut leather straps are both riveted and stitched, and the base is deep and rigid to create a somewhat structured bag and allow for tons of usable space.</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These <a href="http://www.modernhausdesign.com/" target="_blank">two friends</a> were a "pet" project (pun), conceived on the beach (no pun!) as I watched my boys surf. As soon as they came out of the water, I hustled them home and started sketching. 15 hours of pattern-making, adapting, piecing, sourcing, and cutting later, this is the result. I think they're rad and ride that fine line between cute vs. cool. They could work in a young 'uns bedroom or an adult living room. As you can see, they look pretty at home on my old leather Chesterfield. Flaunt your foxiness for all to see. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Vintage Army surplus fabric was pieced carefully in a way that took advantage of existing utilitarian elements like grommets and heavy cotton rope. I used these as closures by adding a big wooden button.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The foxes were pieced using natural linen, dark cotton denim, and dark brown leather. These were pieced, fused, and then double-stitched onto the pillow backing. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They are<a href="http://www.modernhausdesign.com/" target="_blank"> available in the shop</a> and include the down insert, taxes, and free U.S. shipping. They measure 20"X20".</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because they turned out to be so labor-intensive, these are likely the only two that will ever be produced! </span></div>

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/67987503@N08/8365705226/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="IMG_4492 by modernhaus, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_4492" height="446" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8359/8365705226_9aeb384587_c.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Speaking of innocence...meet my baby niece Harlow</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I have the bad habit of holding posts in my head until they die a slow and terrible death there. Like all writers and bloggers I'm sure, I imagine I have to sit down for three hours and craft a perfectly-articulated thing so that it's certain never to be written. It's the main reason this blog has been such a ghost town for the past year, and so I'd like to focus a little more on getting things out, even if rough and imperfect in form.<br />
<br />
So before I forget, I wanted to share this idea I've had rolling around in my skull bones since before the holidays. It's a perspective thing. The idea of choosing to view others with the "presumption of innocence." You see, I was at Trader Joe's just before Christmas. I could stop here and you already know what I'm going to say. It was the grocery version of that show Wipeout where people move through an obstacle course of hazards and eventually land in the water with a broken back. <br />
<br />
On this particular night everyone seemed so impolite, self-absorbed, and even aggressive. I was cut off in the parking lot, almost back into by people pulling out willy-nilly, someone nearly ran me down as I tried to cross over to the store, and a woman turned her cart sideways in an aisle so no one could get by. Then, on the way home I was nearly killed by someone running a red light.<br />
<br />
I drove home with shattered nerves, feeling like the whole of humanity had gone mad. And then I stopped and a thought occurred to me: What if each person I had felt so antagonized by was entirely innocent of the crimes I held against them? What if they hadn't even seen me? Meant me absolutely no harm? Were guilty of nothing more than being over-stressed and in a hurry? Just like me. Maybe<i> I</i> had even engaged in some of that behavior without knowing!<br />
<br />
This isn't to say that people <u><i>aren't</i></u> sometimes badly behaved or lacking in good manners....but it feels vastly better to realize there is an absence of <u><i>intentional malice</i></u> in what they're doing. That they're not out to get us. It's not personal. <br />
<br />
And then I thought a little further. This "presumption of innocence" principle helped me to stop feeling <i>bad </i>about others, but was there a way I could begin to feel <i>good</i> about them?<br />
<br />
Well, we often speak of "the human family," but what if I really tried to see it that way? So I engaged in a little exercise. <br />
<br />
For instance, I thought what if the guy that almost ran me down in the parking lot was my Uncle Larry? Would I have felt the same way? Called him terrible names under my breath? Hardly. Knowing who he was, I would have known that he hadn't seen me and would never mean anyone harm. I would have laughed to myself and then told him at the next family dinner that he should install a cattle guard on the front of his car. <br />
<br />
And what about the older woman that blocked the aisle completely with her cart and took her own sweet time selecting her tomato sauce? I replaced her with the image of my own grandmother doing the same thing (and I'm sure she does!), and suddenly I felt overwhelming affection towards her. As my grandmother goes about her daily life I don't want those she meets to react angrily and impatiently towards <i>her</i>, so why should I do it to <i>someone else's</i> grandmother? The world moves so fast and is so unkind to those who are slower. This woman probably didn't even know her cart was sideways or that she was taking "too long". And the twisted, almost mean look on her face? Years of arthritis pain maybe, but not the sure evidence of a nasty disposition as I first imagined. <br />
<br />
The guy that ran the red light became my cousin Ryan, or my husband, or one of my sons (driving in the future). Wonderful, wonderful people who happened to misjudge the yellow light or were late for work or who simply needed to drive more carefully. <br />
<br />
I wanted to share this because I can't tell you how much it improved my outlook. I often forget and the angry old feelings well up in me. On Saturday someone wouldn't let me merge onto the freeway and I almost ended up on the shoulder. Oh, the things I called him until I said to myself, "He didn't even see you" and then imagined he was my father-in-law (it really helps if the person loosely resembles some relative!) A smile spread across my face and my body relaxed. I kid you not, you can actually <i><u>feel</u></i> your brain chemistry change as you do this. <br />
<br />
This world has real problems, friends, and the "innocence principle" isn't going to fix them. But it does give you back some control over how you experience the world. And it allows you to respond to others in a way you can feel good about. And that's not nothing. <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Complaints that San Diego isn't innovating are now completely unfounded</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, so it looks like we will have to find other things to complain about (78 degrees again?! Perfect weather is so boring, so non-life threatening, so lacking the excitement of destructive super storms!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Exhibit A: <a href="http://www.dwell.com/events/Dwell-Home-Tours-San-Diego.html" target="_blank">Dwell held a modern home tour</a> weekend here recently. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Exhibit B: North Park was just named the <a href="http://www.forbes.com/pictures/mhj45jmeh/13-north-park-san-diego-ca-2/" target="_blank">13th hippest city </a>in the country (by Forbes magazine using complicated food truck per capita ratios and a dictionary definition of "hip", but still...)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are now on the map as more than "that place between Los Angeles and Mexico where you once stopped for fish tacos". Yay, San Diego!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Three things you should know about really modern folks: They can afford bigger windows than you, they have generally mind-blowing views of the ocean, and they don't particularly want strangers using their bathrooms. O.K. Fair enough. </span><br />

Something that reflects the weather, the feeling, and the mood of the months.<br />
<br />
Two summers ago it was Miike Snow's "Animal," and now every time I hear that rad opening riff, I am instantly back in my car packed with boys and surfboards, cruising La Jolla Shores.<br />
<br />
Late last night I heard this song for the first time. It was a "sit in the car, turn off the lights, close your eyes" kind of song. And I knew it would be my autumn anthem. I hope you like it.<br />

For some reason in real life and on this blog I'm always very careful not to portray myself as a designer. It seems uppity? Presumptuous? I actually studied Interior Design/Art History in college for several semesters before switching over to what I felt was a more "cerebral" field.<br />
<br />
But you know what? I always come back to design. I love it. I do it for fun. I would do it for free. I AM doing it for free. And I would probably even do it for you FOR FREE right now, just for the joy of seeing a room transformed. It's kind of a rush. Email me if you'd like at modernhaus@gmail.com.<br />

So this little project I'm working on is basically a zero-budget makeover, which is pretty much my forté. Paint, an $80 dresser from Craigslist, some vintage thrifted accessories, and these DIY dip dyed, faintly ombré drapes:<br />

They are shown here in my dining room, not their final destination. My SIL is young, had requested a beachy vibe, and the room needed a lot of brightening up, so I decided on a totally-out-of-character shade of coral-pink. And you know what? I'm super into it now.<br />

The dye color was actually "tulip red." <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=852836294685341786#editor/target=post;postID=5677293725139240946" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">In my first attempt at dip-dyeing</a>, I found that the dye color needs to be much darker than the color you want to end up with. So although this had a dark red-fuschia-orange tone in the dye bath, once rinsed the color was more subtle and painterly.<br />

This past week as we shopped for a Navajo bracelet, my husband explained to me that turquoise is usually filled with stabilizer. Of course my first thought was that I wanted an original, unadulterated stone. Cracks and flaws and all.<br />
But I have to accept the true nature of turquoise; that it's beautiful but prone to cracking. Without stabilizer, maybe it would crumble and be lost. My mom had some like that. It disintegrated into beautiful dust, so fine and blue.<br />

Family, if you are lucky enough to have it (and if you're not, then friends are a good substitute), is the spackle that holds the crack-and-crumble prone institution of marriage together. The filler, the binder. The stone itself is beautiful. Precious. But fragile. And where the cracks form, the binder fills and smooths over and makes whole again. Maybe not perfect. Not original. But sturdier.<br />
It's important not to mistake the binder for the stone, though. Glue is no substitute for precious stone.<br />

This is what I was thinking as, one day this week, members of both our families converged in Virginia City. In the blistering, funky Western streets of a ghost town in the mining hills of Nevada we all merged into a giant, amoebic, wild family. You bought the ice cream of whoever was in line with you. Shepherded with two arms a gaggle of strollers and boys, accidentally pulling in peripheral children who seemed disappointed when plucked out of our happy mob by their lone parent. Nephews of one family and second cousins of another were just cousins. joined by being of the same height and a strange and strong, instantly recognizable thread of family belonging. A bloodless cord. <br />

Like cells, pieces broke off, joined members across the street, and then rejoined having grown in size; having gained an ice cream cone or a bow and arrow play set.<br />
I set the toddler of my cousin on the back of my tree-like oldest son and he accepted the burden naturally, gracefully. Maybe even thankfully.<br />

When my oldest graduated from middle school, this enthusiastic mob showed up. The older girl-cousins had glittery hand-made signs. Great grandmas whispered conspiratorially. The little cousins were held up on shoulders to see. And when his name was called, our cheers were deafening and prolonged.<br />
<br />
My son said later that his friends had asked, wasn't that embarrassing?<br />
What did you say, I wanted to know.<br />
I said that's not embarrassing, that's my family, he told me. <br />
<br />
I went to see the foreign film I Am Love a while back. As we left, a woman who was writing a book approached theatre-goers and asked them, what is love?<br />
<br />
When she asked me, I answered immediately, "Showing up."<br />
<br />
Showing up, and maybe screaming with all your heart.<br />

<br />
A golden-haired girl and I, we have a little joke about blogging. We were riffing on the idea that if you were young and lovely, recently employed at a well-known magazine, lived in New York and owned an Apple computer in 2002, creating a popular blog was ridiculously straightforward. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
We made up a hypothetical blog post from this quaint era, and it goes something like this:<br />
<br />
"Food-have you heard of it? I discovered it in Brooklyn this weekend! Do you think you would try food? Discuss!"<br />
<br />
Fast-forward to today and every blogger is an HTML-writing, photoshopping, link embedding, monetizing, branding, logo-designing, networking, non-gluten-eating, nasty green drink-making, tomato-growing, live edge coffee table-owning mo-chine. Even the newest and most obscure of blogs makes the online presence of major corporations look prehistoric.<br />
<br />
To prove how easy blogging used to be, I just came up with six vintage-style blog posts in six seconds! It was that easy.<br />
<br />
2004- "Amy Butler fabric-I want to buy some and make pillows! Which Amy Butler fabric do you like best?"<br />
<br />
2005- "Design Sponge-I discovered it yesterday! Have you heard of it? Copy and paste this URL until I Google instructions for creating live links!"<br />
<br />
2006- "Bunting-You can hang it over your bed OR your sofa! Do you have bunting? You don't? Why not?"<br />
<br />
2007- "I saw a girl on a bike with braids in Brooklyn this weekend!"<br />
<br />
2008- "I went to the best wedding this weekend! The amazing bride and groom used giant balloons and mustaches on a stick in their photos!"<br />
<br />
2009- "I discovered that you can drink out of Mason jars! Would you drink out of a Mason jar? Here is a link to the instruction on how to drink from a Mason jar!"<br />
<br />
I bet you can think of many more! But now I'm tired, because creating a modern blogpost takes so much energy. Some day our robotic body-doubles will do it for us, or maybe we will outsource it to India. The future of blogging is anyone's guess. I just don't know what I'm going to do with all this unused bunting...<br />

Personally, I have an IKEA shopping list/showroom map with a lot of Swedish-chef product names written on it, and a broken pencil. It's what the famous authors are doing. Anyhow, it's necessary to write down those barely-lucid thoughts that occur just as your mind is losing its grip on reality and sliding into dreamtimes. Because ideas that are anchored to reality are pretty much useless.<br />
<br />
This is how I came upon <a href="http://modernhaus.blogspot.com/2012/05/blogger-haus-exchange.html">my brilliant idea of a blogger-to-blogger, design-oriented vacation/home exchange!</a> And now look! I'm rich and famous! If only I could design a website and do the PR work while slipping into my nightly cheese-and-Seinfeld-rerun coma. *SIGH*<br />
<br />
So anyhow, I was having some free association time in bed the other night. Been thinking a lot lately about blogging and social media. How fast things move and change. How challenging it can be to know in which media format to invest one's energy. How plugged in one has to be, but also disciplined and mindful about knowing when to shut it down; when to forge "real world" partnerships and networks. <br />
<br />
It's no secret that I desperately heart Instagram. I'm quite prolific there, friends. My handle is modernhaus.<br />
<br />
So my thought was this:<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><i>Instagram is the cool friend who knows the chef at the hot new restaurant. Blogger is the friend that knows the hostess at the Olive Garden.</i></span><br />
<br />
This is not, by any means, in reference to YOUR blogs, guys. In the light of day I think my brain just meant to say that Instagram seems more dynamic, immediate, energetic, experimental, and fresh. <br />
<br />
What do you think? Are your social media habits changing? Are you more or less interested in blogs than you were a year ago?<br />
<br />
Last week I attended a Nutella binge/epic business discussion on the subject with<a href="http://www.happymundane.com/"> Jon</a>, <a href="http://www.the-brick-house.com/">Morgan</a>, and <a href="http://laurejoliet.com/blog/">Laure</a>. Consensus seemed to be that managing social media is a little like holding on to the tail of a tiger, except for Jon who controls the internet with his mind.<br />
<br />
<br />
Unrelated, but possibly related because I saw these via social media, are Freda Salvador shoes.<br />
<br />
Sexy-orthopedic-handmade. Freda Salvador, you can use that on your website if you like!<br />

It all started with the chairs, and once I started tackling projects I just couldn't stop.<br />
<br />
There's nothing else like the satisfaction of making stuff with your own hands, especially if the results are good (but even when they're not, the process is liberating and instructive!)<br />
<br />
I've had stacks of natural linen drapes from the thrift store laying around forever, and wanted to try an indigo dip-dye on them. This is the perfect summertime DIY since it really should be done outdoors, and the painterly effect of dip-dyeing seems so fresh and hot weather-appropriate!<br />
<br />
I started with a pair of clean, thickly-textured linen drapes (use natural fibers only!) I ignored the directions when they said to start with wet fabric...since I wasn't dyeing the whole piece, I wanted the top dry so it wouldn't "pull" the dye up farther than I wanted it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihZCWrUiMnp3iMi3z9il8V6Fd9RJqJO5XAf1ff_P44EMZm9FbSeZcb14DIQV8u0ofeY3T8isHLOnJO-zUqWQn7hTnq-d3AREvyzk_MVYkD9kwVJcFNEo6TdwVNVVT1egDbqXC8ZR4Eeeg/s1600/c730ea06b98911e1be6a12313820455d_7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihZCWrUiMnp3iMi3z9il8V6Fd9RJqJO5XAf1ff_P44EMZm9FbSeZcb14DIQV8u0ofeY3T8isHLOnJO-zUqWQn7hTnq-d3AREvyzk_MVYkD9kwVJcFNEo6TdwVNVVT1egDbqXC8ZR4Eeeg/s700/c730ea06b98911e1be6a12313820455d_7.jpg" width="" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
I measured about a third of the way from the bottom of the drapes and marked it with paper clips so I knew where to stop "dipping" each piece. <br />
<br />
Outside I mixed my dye in a large Rubbermaid tub set next to a stone wall so I could hang the dry, un-dyed part over the wall and let the ends hang into the dye. I used a "denim blue" powder dye from the craft store and followed the directions for dilution and salt, etc. Nothing special, and I'm sure I could have gotten more intense or better/faster results by searching out a professional fabric dye. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5MiwClK63VZ5JtMi7I7idGERnlnMT9Wah79zZ74ZXwW6P-vLwnAXED7wJSQ26Raz7zVMSdBE0PSSevbb0AsZXgeiC_Wo4rx_pBnLVh18D4y-Xd0YHBkmNOwT6WNfGOFygTn3EykIhOSs/s1600/29983212b98a11e1abd612313810100a_7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5MiwClK63VZ5JtMi7I7idGERnlnMT9Wah79zZ74ZXwW6P-vLwnAXED7wJSQ26Raz7zVMSdBE0PSSevbb0AsZXgeiC_Wo4rx_pBnLVh18D4y-Xd0YHBkmNOwT6WNfGOFygTn3EykIhOSs/s700/29983212b98a11e1abd612313810100a_7.jpg" width="" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
I let the ends soak for about an hour and then lowered the drapes in another six inches or so and let that soak for 15-20 minutes more to make a lighter, ombre-esque strip. I checked the color and it was much too light. The lighter strip especially was nearly pastel, so I lowered it in again and soaked the whole thing for another hour (light and dark strips together). <br />
<br />
Remember as you're checking the progress of the color that it looks much darker wet and the colors will also fade after you rinse the dye out, so wait until it looks much darker than you want in the tub before you pull it out.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD09pg2455ApCsNtGSKbgwx1mC_TVo_AldyZUGv458eDYF2v9jiz-AKDYDTidtse4LXQrkfrXF4RSjYk5x1Lm9l0Qga7qksx-UlblrvLagrlOCK0TbvikM7Gob5zXziuXo_fHi8KZ7h7Y/s1600/c7853158b9a011e1aebc1231381b647a_7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD09pg2455ApCsNtGSKbgwx1mC_TVo_AldyZUGv458eDYF2v9jiz-AKDYDTidtse4LXQrkfrXF4RSjYk5x1Lm9l0Qga7qksx-UlblrvLagrlOCK0TbvikM7Gob5zXziuXo_fHi8KZ7h7Y/s700/c7853158b9a011e1aebc1231381b647a_7.jpg" width="" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
At a certain point, the fabric was as saturated as it would get and didn't seem to be darkening more, so don't worry about over dyeing. I would have liked more intensity, but starting with a white base and using "over-the-counter" powder dye probably limited the depth of color I could achieve.<br />
<br />
I wrung out the ends and then laid the drapes out on the grass and used a spray nozzle to rinse them. Then I hung them over the fence and waited for them to dry.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
These are early-morning shots after I impatiently brought the drapes inside and threw them over a curtain rod in the dining room to see how they looked. I really, really love the ethereal, watercolor effect of the lighter upper layers. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
But the moody, darker indigo of the lower end really speaks to me too. <br />
<br />
Pretty much nothing is safe from a potential dye-bath now! <br />

<br />
The last few weeks I gave myself permission to not just <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/modernhaus">"<b>buy and sell"</b></a> but to spend some time creating original pieces. I can't tell you what a difference it's made in my attitude towards <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/modernhaus"><b>my business</b></a>! It's so hard to just have a bunch of iconic pieces and no way to express myself! Who lives like that?? It's criminal. <br />
<br />
I've always had an overwhelming need to MAKE things (ask my mom about my infamous butter sculptures!), and now that I've given myself permission again, <i>I CAN'T STOP</i>! Hide the butter, mom!<br />

I love that the base is so Victorian, but it also has a certain industrial appeal. Plus every time I look at it, I imagine a lady named Pearl punching a bunch of old-timey buttons and connecting you to the milk man or the horse taxi.<br />

Before you have an aneurysm over my desecration of a Mid Century chair and a vintage Navajo rug, believe me that they weren't that great on their own. I said they weren't, and I saw them with my own two well-trained eyes. So trust.<br />

The chair was avocado green vinyl (you know, the color of your grandma's refrigerator in the 70s?) The rug...well, o.k., the rug was really pretty. But the ends were unravelling and it was oddly shaped and as great as it was, it wasn't valuable in the least. Go on Ebay and look...you can get 'em cheap.<br />

Guys, if you followed me on <a href="http://instagr.am/p/Ld7268JBNF">Instagram</a> you would be getting the blow-by-blow of all my furniture and thrift finds, projects, new shop listings, as well as gratuitous photos of the gross food I eat!<br />
<br />
You can also use the Twitter button up there on the right, since I upload most of my Instagrams to Twitter.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for the next episode of Chairs Gone Wild, when I make butterfly chair covers out of old Army blankets!<br />

<br />
In a given day I can generate about a billion new business and creative ideas. Most of them are crazy, and it's impossible to follow through with very many. But I know an idea is really worth pursuing when it sticks with me week after week, month after month, and instead of beginning to sound totally absurd or far-fetched, it starts sounding better and better. <br />
<br />
This is one of those ideas. A blogger home exchange resource!<br />
<br />
If I know anything about bloggers it's that they love to travel, they love to explore one another's homes, and they're very particular about their physical environment. What is missing in the vacation exchange and rental market is an opportunity for these likeminded design-oriented folks to find one another and make their homes available for vacation swaps! <br />
<br />
Not only will the blogger-to-blogger format ensure that you'll be staying in a really cool place, but there's an added layer of trust and protection built in, too. You're able to verify via their blog archives that the person and their environment are a good match for you, that you feel comfortable with them, that their descriptions and photos of the home are accurate, etc..<br />
And there's little chance that an established blogger would risk their reputation by running off with your silverware (or plastic spork collection?) or trashing your house!<br />
<br />
<b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">Basic ground rules:</span></u></b><br />
<br />
It's free to use!<br />
<br />
No commercial vacation rentals. This is for blogger-to-blogger home exchange only and is not to be used for financial gain. <br />
<br />
Please have an active blog or similar web-presence (tumblr, Wordpress, website, etc.) that has been established for a minimum of six months and provides at least some information about yourself, your home, neighborhood, etc.<br />
<br />
<b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">Submit the following information if you would like your house listed. Let me know in the comments section if you think other things should be included on the list!</span></u></b><br />
<br />
-Clear pictures of the interior and exterior living spaces and the immediate neighborhood (blur out addresses and street names-these shouldn't be provided until you trust the person you're working with and have a concrete swap agreement, and are within about a week of arrival!)<br />
<br />
-List locations where you would be willing to stay, or are you open?<br />
<br />
-Your contact email<br />
<br />
-Links to your website, blog, and/or other media that will tell us more about you and your home<br />
<br />
-Approximate dates your house might be available (summertime only, long weekends, flexible, etc.)<br />
<br />
-Do you have pets and will they need to stay?<br />
<br />
-Will you allow pets? What kind/size?<br />
<br />
-Would you allow (or is the house appropriate for) children? Do you have children and will the house be equipped for visiting children (i.e., could carseat, crib, stroller, or any other items be made available?)<br />
<br />
-Number and types of beds/bedrooms/bathrooms<br />
<br />
-Is a car necessary to get around? If so, are you open to swapping cars?<br />
<br />
-Describe your neighborhood-are there restaurants/activities in walking distance, are you near trails, the beach, or some point of interest, etc.<br />
<br />
-Any unique attributes you'd like to share (i.e., we have an organic garden, a huge vinyl collection you're welcome to use, an amazing espresso machine, hobos living in our basement, a creepy doll collection in every room, whatever).<br />
<br />
I'll feature each submission in its own blog post, and it will also appear on a dedicated permanent link on my blog sidebar where others can find and contact you.<br />
<br />
Please forward this post to any of your friends and colleagues that might be interested!<br />
<br />
<b><u>SUBMISSIONS CAN BE SENT TO <a href="mailto:MODERNHAUS@GMAIL.COM">MODERNHAUS@GMAIL.COM</a></u></b><br />
<br />
I can answer questions in the comment section below-since others might have the same question it would be helpful to make the answer visible to everyone.<br />
<br />
So, what do you think? Would you take advantage of this resource?? What blogger's home would you most like to stay at? Maybe, just maybe, I can get them to participate!<br />

There's the usual intense internal dialogue going about some major things...I've been a real Thinker Thinkerton over here, but have felt much more private lately. Weird, huh?<br />
<br />
<br />
At the end of the day yesterday, after <a href="http://instagr.am/p/LL8OEgpBEJ/"><b>Pizza Port-ing</b></a> and <a href="http://instagr.am/p/LMMgdYpBO5/"><b>butterfly sightings</b></a> at the beach, we pulled over at a quiet spot so the boys could surf. There wasn't much surf to speak of, but their skinny, <a href="http://instagr.am/p/K77H3apBA4/"><b>flu-weakened</b></a> arms couldn't have handled much anyhow.<br />

I watched him running towards the water yesterday, and for a brief moment as he jumped over a pile of seaweed, he was airborne. <br />

I used to love to open a book when they surfed, but I don't do that anymore (and yes, <a href="http://modernhaus.blogspot.com/2012/04/gettin-some.html"><b>I do plan to join them</b>!</a>)<br />
<br />
I watch, and I soak it up. Remember in the beginning when you would watch them breathe? You do it at the end, too.<br />

Some weeks I'm up to my armpits in lamp after beautiful lamp. Some weeks everything is marble. This week, the vintage world is trying to tell me to take it easy...by sending me chairs.<br />
<br />
I have a pair of these chrome beauties. Yesterday I designed and sewed up the blue felted wool sling to sleek them up. The previous upholstery was a huge, thick padded affair done in mauve (or "private parts pink" as I like to call it) RV fabric. Now they are lithe and sexy, like chrome and wool ballerinas!<br />

I'm not joking-these are SO comfortable! I am thinking of designing a narrow built-in pillow at the top. What do you think?<br />

Because they're slings, they don't look deep enough until you sit in them. Kind of sculptural, no? I have to iron those suckers, but I couldn't wait to show you!!<br />

This heathered blue wool is my new favorite fabric. Like soft focus lighting, it makes everything else around it look gorgeous! It looks SO GOOD with my "trick, it's not a Beni Ourain it's from Pottery Barn" rug.<br />

I also ran like the wind a few days ago to pick up these handsome chrome chairs. <br />
<br />
The upholstery has that great, streamlined Mid Century version of tufting. The color is caramel with a hint of orange? But not TOO orange. I understand everything better when put into food terms. How 'bout you?<br />

These suckers are HEAVY. Neat-o, thick chrome frames. I'm thinking Milo Baughman (pronounced Bowman if you're new to the game, Boffman if you're in-the-know, and Boggman if you're a retarded estate sale lady).<br />
<br />
I have to verify this, though. Seriously Baughman, you designed so many chairs. Help a girl out-make a master list?!<br />

Speaking of Boggman, did you know DWR is reproducing his recliner? For $2800??? For a less-well-made repro?? <br />
<br />
Do people buy these things? I can't imagine why, with beautifully restored originals going for half that! Now that I mention it, <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/modernhaus"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><b>I have one that I'll be listing this evening</b></span></a>. What a coincidence!<br />
<br />
This is documented Milo Baughman, but a very unusual piece. It took me weeks to authenticate because, well, there is like one other one out there. The arms are really wide, sculptural, solid walnut, and the upholstery is much more substantial than on the more common version. It's been profesh redone (meaning, not by me) in a nubby off-white material that makes you fall asleep when you touch it, and the mechanics have been cleaned, oiled, and checked for smooth reclinability. Mmmhmmm, that's a word.<br />

It looks like Paul McCobb, but "looks like" is as far as I got in the authentication process.<br />
<br />
I had it rebuilt and re-done in a heavy, charcoal grey linen. It is brand new, but better. Because it is brand new old, which means it will last for 300 more years. <br />
<br />
It pairs well with a sheepskin and an ethnic pillow. Probably any ethnicity will do. <br />

So, one may ask, "Where can I get all these fine sitting devices?"<br />
<br />
Well, only the off-white <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/modernhaus"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">Baughman/Bowman/Boggman recliner will be in the shop tonight</span></b></a>. <br />
<br />
The others will probably be listed soon, but you can also email (modernhaus@gmail.com), text, Tweet (modernhaus), or Intsagram (modernhaus) message me if you just can't wait. <br />
<br />
You probably want to get your hands on my creations now, before I totally blow up. I'm already super-big in Upstate New York, the gateway to design fame as we all know.<br />

I don't recognize ANYTHING. It took me half an hour to click on the right symbol to compose a new post. I feel like I woke up and found my family replaced by strangers and I'm like, "Where the heck did my family go?" and the strangers are like, "We are your family, you're the crazy one." And then Rod Serling voice-overs me going nuts and being taken away in a 1965 Chevy Valiant police car.<br />
<br />
In case you're a kid, that's a Twilight Zone reference.<br />
<br />
Speaking of 1965,<b> <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/modernhaus">the shop</a> </b>will be full of great pieces this evening. And as soon as I re-learn everything I thought I knew about Blogger, these photos will be larger!<br />

Some of these <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/modernhaus"><b>are available now</b> </a>with fixed pricing, and the rest will be available this evening in auction format. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On that subject, do you prefer fixed prices or auctions? People are always asking me to set fixed prices, but my listings are usually only successful in auction format! Conundrum!</div>
