Nothing is wasted

A good idea

The ‘Otherworldly’

A couple of black garbage bags, some marking tape and a sense of the Baroque helped create this moment at the ‘Dare to Fail’ salon. The otherworldly appeared from the mundane to haunt us and draw us closer.

Tea Towel upholstery

Tea towels are a necessity of domestic life. Exciting to buy new ones, all bright and crisp. Often they serve as reminders of a great holiday or outing. They wipe and dry benches and hands. Get hung over kitchen cupboard knobs, oven handles or backs of kitchen doors.
Feeling Scrappy

Broken but beautiful

The Japanese practice of repairing a broken object, referred to as kintsugi, is solid shiftazine thinking. Something that is chipped, or broken into pieces, or cracked should be, if possible, glued together. It should be kept. How many times have you reluctantly thrown out that beautiful cup because of a chip, or that bowl because of a crack? It is the flaws that give it a history, a personality, a sense of unique. Like all things in life, nothing is perfect.
‘Old school’

There is something about a lovely, ‘old school’ sink and tiles that speak to me on a hot, hot day. ‘’Old school’ anything can possess a charm that simply cannot be reproduced. ‘Old’ is not a crime.
Quick to the draw

As always, it is just how you choose to see a thing that makes it valuable or not.
The design is by Tejo Remy and the article about it is in a book called ‘Visual Conversations’ AVA Publishing, Switzerland. It is a great read BTW.
Op-shop opportunities

The advantage of this kind of accidential styling is that with a fresh or non-contrived eye one can create a beautiful and surprising environment.
