Warped Dust

Dust Furniture has some really warped and wacky furniture perfect for kid's rooms, rec rooms, commercial kid spaces, or any place you might need a touch of whimsy. Reminds me of Dr. Seuss furniture.
One of his more obscure works?


He was soooooooooooo ahead of his time.








This coat rack is Wocket in my Pocket wacky! Also if you need some wallpaper to go with it check out Sara says Awesome.



These lovelies can be found in Colorado. Customs House is right here in Telluride!
You might need only one piece in a room to set the tone. I know if I walked into my CPA's office and saw him looking back at this Grandfather...I wouldn't mind a bit. Warped furniture lovers unite.

Mad about Revolutionary Road

If you love Madmen...you'll love Revolutionary Road.
And the glorious Winslet defines what makes an actress great, blazing commitment
to a character and the range to make every nuance felt. Winslet's last scene, as
April prepares breakfast for a husband who can't see the torment behind her
smile, is emotionally devastating. This movie takes a piece out of you.
From: Rolling Stone



I held my breath for more than a few scenes in this movie. Nothing like a hard, intense, emotionally charged movie to make me think about it for days....and not just about all the set details like the perfectly ordinary bohemian blue plates in all the kitchen scenes, or the way she peels potatoes on the very cluttered kitchen table, or the kitschy items on Millie's make-up table...it was the raw emotions, the relationships between the couples, the link between the novel and the arch of the story that really impressed me. The plot details are interesting for their place in history...but the dynamics between people and family life are startlingly timeless.
