Parties & Perfume

Parties & Perfume Franco Mondini-Ruiz
I stopped by Galeria Ortiz last night on my walk over to my buddy Rob and his wife Lisa's place over in Olmos Park and was treated to not only some very cool new works by artist Franco Mondini-Ruiz, but the cup cakes and champagne made for a very nice pitstop!

Parties & Perfume Franco Mondini-Ruiz
Galeria Ortiz Contemporary is located at 4026 McCullough, just one block north of Hildebrand, across from Julian Gold. I'm not sure how long the Parties & Perfume show is up, the site had no end date info, but if you're in the neighborhood Galeria Ortiz is most definitely worth the stop - check it out!

Smeg My Kitchen

Sweet! I've been drooling over these since I first bought my house in 1999. Italian appliance manufacturer SMEG, (Smalterie Metallurgiche Emiliane Guastall) has finally made their ultra hip and amazingly efficient retro refrigerators available in the US - at Sears!

The stylish and very Italian 9.22 cubic feet fridge offers 'A+' energy efficiency rating, anti bacterial interior, automatic defrost, 3 adjustable glass shelves, fruit and vegetable container, storage box, chrome wine rack, tropicalised compressor, 2 adjustable covered bins, 2 bottle storage bins, 4 adjustable bins and 2 egg bins. And it looks pretty bad-ass to boot!



Now, if we can only get those design crazy Italians to make thier awesome Kappa Range Hoods available here as well!

Dog Lovers Kitchen


Wow, I'm really digging this totally custom design solution for doggy bowls from the smart folks at Artisan Kitchens in Centerville, Massachusetts.

Dogbone drawers hold treats, leashes and other supplies. Pullout cabinet on left of island holds bulk dogfood. Nice - lucky dogs!

Typo Chair


Dig the Typo Chair from designer Michael Bom. The abstract typographic Typo Chair is made from recycled billboards of Finnish Birch multiplex. Nice.
