The Living Room
The DETAILS
The lamp
Our favorite lamp:
We scored a great deal on a drum shade as a result of the sad demise of pretty and pricey Shabby Chic. I love how it looks atop the old lamp that Linda bequeathed to us when she moved out of our West L.A. apt. Yes, that's the protective plastic it came in, left on for now on purpose.
Tokens of friendship & family
Detail from TV console: L-R
*Handmade ceramic (?) dish corralling our Palm Beach shell collection. Gift from Sheila Ramezani who purchased it from her artist friend who's name I can't remember.
*Blood Orange scented fragrance sticks, on a tile from Catalina Island - souvenir from our mini-honeymoon.
*Vintage photo collage of Elsie's family.
*Revolving frame. Side pictured is Sergio's family. It was the tail end of film roll so the top third is cut off and in my opinion, looks really neat. Little sergio looks so morose in this photo.
*Blue ceramic bowl with hidden Egyptian hieroglyphics, handmade by Martha Evonuk. Holding our keys.
Detail from shelves: L-R*Little elephants from Thailand, gift from Ton who now lives in Thailand.
*Glass sea urchin vase set, gift from Alpna and Hitesh Patel.
*B/W photo of Sergio as a kid with family & neighbors in Sutri, Italy, making tomato sauce.
*Watercolor by Nora Kersh, Sergio's mom.
*Photo of Mom & Jenny. Jenny's (1st) MA graduation from Loyola Marymount, frame gifted from Linda, via Guam.
The keepers of the couch
They are like two, giant furry slugs. They didn't move an inch from the first photo above.
"Yeah, so?" says Mia.
