coffee table

wt made this coffee table for a colleague of mine.   very impressive to say the least.  normally, i would ask him to come in and do a 'guest post' to explain his creation.  however, when you ask him a question about the design process, you get...."well, you need to start with a blank slate, don't you dare think about price, where are the lines? gravity doesn't exist...." it doesn't really make sense and it makes me uncomfortable when he talks like that.

i can say that he envisioned it, drew it, illustrated it in 3D, mocked it up with cardboard, picked out the materials (cumara), had a guy route out the legs, sanded (duh) and oiled the legs up, had the glass made into a cool shape and then put it all together. and BOOM goes the dynamite.






can you say architecture digest?  money shot.
seriously - blown away by this guys talent.  one day he is gonna have a store/showroom/houses he designed full of this stuff.  you can quote me on it. or just find this blog that will forever be on the Internet even after i delete and say - she called it.  libba jay templeton formlery lawrence called it.

pretty cool

remember when i said i don't like to toot my own horn?  i think i love myself a lot, because i am going to do it again.  i mean, other than selling our information to the devil, isn't that the point of blogs and facebook? no? TWO of our wedding photos have made it in magazines (Oregon Bride).

1.  our awesome photogs won a prize for this bad boy. http://gabrielboone.com/.


2.  our friend works at a bridgeport village and she was in charge of Bridgeport's wedding advertisement and used this:

sometimes i still look at blogs and wedding magazines when i get bored.  just sometimes.  i had a hard time finding my wedding dress.  i didn't have a 'this is the one' moment, no chills, no tears.....  don't get my wrong, i hearted my dress, but my search was not easy.  now, i go online and poof, amahzing dresses every where i look.

this tude might be one if my worst qualities.  i am the grass is AWLAYS greener type of girl when it comes to this stuff.  i think it makes walker secretly hate me.  i'm not saying - oh i like this other dress.  i am saying oh i love this dress, i wish i would have worn this dress, the wedding would have been more fun, my kids would one day think i was cooler, i would feel more complete in life if only i would have picked this dress.  yes weird.  there are far more important things in life to worry about.  but i can't help it. you are probably thinking, lib, stop.  your dress was amazing, you looked so pretty, you are really skinny, your wedding was the most fun i have ever had and you  have really clear skin with no visible wrinkles.  i appreciate it.  here are some of those dresses i find my self coveting.





anyhoo.  i like looking at clothes and fashion.  this was a far fetched excuse to do so.  i also like parks and recreation - cracks me up every time.
