If this series of images could only reveal everything beneath what's been poured into them in their in-betweens, it would be much richer than watching me try to unbend and form them myself. Instead I'm saving all of my words for papers and other writerly, University-related endeavors.
* Did I mention?, I'd like to be an interior designer when I grow up, and I live in Portland, OR, if you're interested in hiring a totally untrained, totally impetuous lover-of-beat-down-pieces person who might redecorate your place to reflect the set of Mad Men, only without most of the awesomeness, replaced with double the musty scent. Plus I love to paint with expensive Benjamin Moore prettiness, which I may as well point out (redundantly) is ridiculously expensive. SWEET.

I'm drooling over that little print chair in the living room. Gawjus. You are a talented lady - it's a beautiful space.

How pretty. You must have worked yourself to the bone to pull that transformation off. Great job!

Is it bad that I became fixated on the IMPERVO paint?

Great work, it looks fab! Now I understand what you've been so busy about, skipping class to study.
And in other news, I've fallen in love with your bathtub, even though it's only partially visible in one obscure shot.
