worstspace

I hate a operating in a messy work space so I keep it relatively neat.
Neat but boring.
This melange of bare, black and beige is my world. Even though I spend a majority of my waking time here, I just can't seem to be crafty and snazzy up my little hellhole.
I like peeking into other people's nooks and seeing how they live and work.
Joseph Holmes' work space series is a growing collection of personalized commercial spaces. I love the chaos in these shots but I'd be tempted to hang myself if this were my reality.

artist statement:

Over long periods of time, workbenches, cubicles, and office desks go through an oddly natural process of accretion and erosion much like the way mountains and landscapes form over centuries. I don’t think there’s another place where evidence of an individual life is concentrated into such a tightly confined space. And I find that distillation beautiful in a way that’s artificial in the best sense of the word.

I wish I could bundle up with each and everyone one of you in this snow sack.

If you were to propose to me with this:

I'd say YES!
Not kidding.

Kate Macdowell's porcelains make my eyeballs explode with joy.
So would being your ball and chain.

Remedy for a chilly Wednesday night sans lover?
Sneak into your favorite hotel's spa.

Last weekend me and my 3 best ladies treated our selves to a lovely spa evening of steaming and shitchatting by a fire pit. I plan on remaking that magic tonight.

41°

I know this weather forecast is scoffable to the rest of the planet but 41° is near freezing by Miami standards. The locals don't even know what to do with themselves, the lines at Starbucks are horrendous and iguanas are freezing and falling out of palm trees. My at one time thick as New England clam chowder blood has thinned into an easily chilled tanning oil.
