You may have remembered an earlier post we did about Julius Shulman. I can’t help but re post some of his most beautiful photography. I like to think of them as a time capsule that preserves these mid-century beauties for the world to see. The first house above is actually available for a tour but you will have to be on a long waiting list.

I recently bought this silkscreen vintage fabric that has gray colored gradations. It was printed in Finland almost 30 years ago in 1978.

The fabric that Verner Panton designed for Mira X is the most iconic fabric wall panel. I really love to have this but they are extremely expensive. You can still buy it from etsy, or ebay, but it’s a little too rich for my blood. I will post this as soon as I frame the fabric on the wall. We’ll see…

The Tower of the Four Winds was a beautiful structure designed by Walt Disney Imagineer Rolly Crump. It stood 120 feet tall and used to be positioned in front of “It’s a Small World” in Disneyland. As you can see in the picture below, the original design was much more thin. It was probably built thicker for more support and to be wind proof. I wish Disney would’ve kept these beautiful designs in their park.

This is the another wall shelving system from Tomado.  Similar to the wooden one I put on the wall in hallway, I decided to use this to display some of my Cathrineholm collections in my kitchen. It has red, yellow, and white shelves that adjusts spacing according to my needs. I love this poppy color. They perfectly match the color with the Eames book shelves.
