My Inspiration - Sixties Interiors

One of the places I pull a major part of my asthetic from is 60's/70's era interior design. Whether it is weirdly wonderful, or just plain weird, I'll take it all. I have always really adored that sort of feel in interiors. My grandmother decorated with wild lamps and big owls from that time period in her fabulous mish of a house.

James Lileks is probably the first place that really focused and put into words the wonderful wonkyness for me with his Interior Desecrations, a wonderful foray into the world of, "What in the HELL were they thinking?" He even wrote a book on the topic available at Amazon.

I look and look for books of interior design from that era. You can buy some repurposed at my Etsy shop in the form of Regrettable Design Cards.

I also love the DIY Crafting movement of that era. I am forever looking for more and more unique crafting books. (I occasionally come off of some of my stash.) They just have such a wide and great variety of projects and ideas in them that keep me pushing my skill set outwards and upwards.

Sorry for the late update this week. Stuff is starting to get crazy busy now that I'm seriously buckling down on getting paintings done for the gallery show in April. (That's next month, yo.)
