My Place & Yours: That's Nice, That's Different, That's Unusual

Hi!
So, Pip over at Meet Me at Mike's has a really sweet meme called "My Place & Yours" which basically encourages people to show off little bits about where they live and create and whatnot. I've been wanting to play along for a while and this week I'm doing it. The theme this week is "That's Nice, That's Different, That's Unusual", chosen by Little Suitcase. And here I go!

Something in our apartment that I think is unusual but also very nice is the huge umm... piece of art we have in the living room.
Logan found it in the West Village and brought it home. The face of the blue person used to be a pretty lady but someone had drawn a mustache on her. So Calder just painted over her face and one leg to make her a zombie (I think). And this thing really is huge- it takes over the wall and you can see it from the street. I love it.

Something else that is unusual but not quite so nice is our poor little green chair. Are you wondering what the yellow thing underneath it is?
It's a huge cone of yarn... and it's literally holding up the chair.
We bought the chair at a stoop sale for cheap and it had already been mended a couple times. Now it's a bit of a hazard. But it's a really cozy chair so, for now, it stays.

  4. i think i find the picture a bit creepy, but don't tell zombie woman, i'm sure she has feelings. nothing says DIY like a spool of yellow yarn- i heard that once on a home improvement show

  5. Well my boys would appreciate the picture...they love zombies! I think the chair is well worth a visit somewhere to have a bit of a fix up.

  6. I love everyone's reaction to the zombie lady. A lot of people who come over to our place do find it a little disturbing. haha. But for some reason I just really like it, even though I'm a total baby when it comes to scary stuff. Go figure.
