Obviously, I will be making a “Tinybook” of my Instagram pictures in miniature for the dollhouse.

PW & JD
I took a few candid Instagram snapshots of some new tenants in the dollhouse - Pee Wee Herman and James Dean. As you can see, they are making themselves quite comfortable in their new surroundings:
Getting ready in the morning
Going to bed at night
Drinking in the afternoon

A quiet scene from my office today - whoever opted to install Astro Turf on the townhouse staircase is my newest design hero. I really love the juxtaposition of such a low budget material with the black & white marble floor of the lobby.
Sorry for so much quietness over here, summer has been gloriously hectic and as computer free as can be. Blogging a cellphone photo of my work environment seems an appropriate comment of how things are lately.
I hope you are having a splendid summer and thanks for still reading. I’m still here!
Love, E
p.s. my shoes are from Remix Vintage

In case you haven’t noticed the lack of miniatures blogging lately, my dollhouses have been in storage for the past couple of months while my apartment has been undergoing minor renovations.
Seeing one empty like this gets me super excited for the decorating scenarios to come. I am slowly getting my shit back together over here.

Tara Donovan at Pace, March 2011
Instagram images from when I visited the Pace Galleries on West 22nd Street & West 25th Street to see the Tara Donovan exhibitions ‘‘Drawings (Pins)’’ and “Untitled (Mylar)”.
Donovan creates large scale installations using utilitarian objects - in “Drawings”, the “drawings” are actually made up of tens of thousands of nickel-headed dressmaker pins stuck onto gatorboard and in “Untitled”, the work is composed of rolled up sheets of Mylar (and hot glue), “which grow into towering organic structures of varying heights rising up to approximately 11 feet tall. Light plays a pivotal role in the work as it catches the metallic surfaces and radiates off its undulating form.”
I guess now is the part of the blog post where I’m supposed to give you the info to go see these shows but as they’ve already closed I will instead admit that I am a terrible blogger and say that I hope you get a chance to see her work in person one day if you haven’t before. Seeing so many of the same small object repeated seemingly to infinity is absolutely mind blowing and beautiful up close.

Window of the Painted Lady dollhouse
Hanging in the window are clear plastic flaps that came from a colorful sampler sheet of clear plastic flaps. Instant psychedelic curtains!
Full disclosure: My roommate works at an incredible designer fabric store (possibly the best in NYC?) and hooks me up with some great samples - I’m so fortunate he thinks of me when these types of things cross his path. Samples are your friend when working in miniature!
Below, the view through the window:

Little Boxes
This weekend I made dioramas out of an empty box from the Macaron Cafe. They make nice macarons but they make even better boxes for dioramas.
P.S. I’m so totally addicted to Instagram.
