Why David Sedaris Doesn't Use Twitter
I was lusting after the buttery popcorn infiltrating my nostrils as I waited in line to have my book signed by David Sedaris. My eyes drifted towards the sign that read 'BAR UPSTAIRS' and 'NO CAMERAS OR PHOTOS' in threatening capitals. Devar asked me what I was going to say as he ignored the threatening sign and took a photo of the line. I didn't know. Although he is one of my favourite authors, I assumed he would ask the typical questions authors ask their adoring fans - "know any good jokes?" or "what do you do?" - and I wanted to get it over and done with to reduce the risk of saying something foolish. Like the lady in front of me who was contemplating boasting about how she named her imaginary boyfriend after him. David started signing my book, he asked me how much money I earn and in return I asked what he thought of Australia. "It is expensive" he said, "and hot" I added, just in case he was needing another adjective to explain Australia. It had been quite humid that day and Perthians love to complain about the weather. My interaction with him was short and sweet, he wrote "I'm so happy you can walk" in one of my books and drew a dog in another book.
The show consisted of David reading essays from The New Yorker, a piece he wrote for British paper entitled 'If I Could Change The World', diary entries and questions from the audience. The most amusing part of the show was a story about his female friend, who preferred to remain nameless, she also preferred to catch her poop in her hand when using the toilet instead of letting it make a horrid plop sound in the toilet bowl. That would be so embarrassing.
During the show Mark Trammell replied to my tweet, "Get him on Twitter!" he exclaimed. After two glasses of wine I decided to line up again after the show to ask David why he doesn't join in on the Twitter fun and tweet about eating sandwiches, crazy dreams he had last night, how losing socks really sucks and other random observations or thoughts in 140 characters or less. I didn't ask it in that way. It escaped my mouth in a more "me again, so that Twitter thing, a guy I follow who works there wants to know why you don't do it?" manner of speaking. He hungrily consumed a plate of chorizo and salad had been placed in front of him while I asked my twittastic question. He made the 'let me just finish chewing this' universal motion and then tried to explain the Twitter predicament. Apparently someone had already created a David Sedaris account on Twitter, he then paid someone to switch the account over to him, but didn't really know what it was or what to do with it once it was his. So there it sits, with over 4000+ followers and no actual tweets. I tried to convince him he should tweet (join the cool kids, drink the koolaid, follow the leader) but he didn't seem convinced. I wanted to say "no one understands Twitter, David" but I didn't want to scare him with inception like comments. I instead urged him to tweet and wrote down my username and the address of my account in case he wanted to see what it was all about and required guidance. In that moment I thought of myself as a sort of Mother Teresa of tweeting - I could guide him into over one million followers and we would DM about what type of background colour he should use. It would be awesome.
As he put another forkful of sausage into his mouth I came back to reality and thanked him for the performance as he waved on the next question. Later I pondered if he would screw up the piece of paper from the Aussie girl who totally thought he should tweet or figure out what Twitter was at least. It then occurred to me that kind of subjects I tweet about.
So if you're ever at a David Sedaris show or book signing and he mentions this strange Australian girl who tweets too much about Skyrim or boobs and tried to
force convince him that Twitter was the shit and he laughed about it later in his hotel room wasn't convinced. Please don't judge me. At least I'm not the girl who pooped into her hand and gently lowered it into the toilet bowl because she didn't want it to make that socially unacceptable plop sound in the toilet bowl.
If I was her I would at least tweet about it.

I have tropicals

|I got the Creech Road Elementary School Park shelter reserved for Saturday April 11, 2009 from 2pm til 4pm.
All the rules are the same as before. When I have time I will cut and paste all the details from past swaps.

River Oats (Chasmanthium latifolium)
Foamflower (Tiarella cordifolia)
Scott's spleenwort fern
|Topher, I don't have a very good idea yet of what I'll be bringing to the swap, but I'd love to find something to trade you for an Ensete 'Maurelii' pup.
|John, i'd love to swap some toadlily for the spleenwort fern.
magick- which heliotrope are you wanting? The annual which smells good or the perennial that has no scent? I have lots of the perennial.
I'll try to get outside this week and figure out what i have to bring to the swap & post. i know i spotted some small carolina jessamines i need to dig for starters. I'll probably have a couple japanese climbing ferns, too.

Announcing the 2009 Raleigh Spring Swap
New to the swaps? Don't panic, we are a friendly bunch. There are very few rules (we like it that way). Check the "Special Trades Thread" on GardenWeb/Carolina Gardening/Exhanges subforum for details concerning any special plants anyone is offering for special requests in exchange. Special trades are traded outside of the general swap - which is more or less a free for all. If you don't have any plants to trade, bring food (homemade is worth more than store bought by this group). Don't think that we only want to discuss or trade exotic or hard to find plants - it ain't so! we like the common stuff just as much. No matter what you bring, someone will want it, and if no one wants it you can take it back home or we can just toss it out at the end of the mayhem. The way this works is we pile all the general swap plants together on the picnic tables (no special method, just jumbled together). We do a quick walk around to explain any unusual plants. Everyone lines up on the edge of the shelter after they have designated a "Cache" or stash spot in the lawn outside the shelter. I ding a bell and everyone rushes in and grabs ONE plant, and then hauls it over to their stash site. Everyone lines up and we do it again. After a few rounds like this I up it to TWO plants per ding and eventually we just grab anything that is left over. I know it sounds messy but this systems works the best. By having the plants jumbled together on the table and not segregated into sections we keep the crowd of swappers from knocking each other over. By having the first few rounds for one plant, everyone gets a shot at the choice stuff.
Remember that this is really a way for you to meet people interested in the same style of gardening that you practice - or a way to get great starting out advice.
The Raleigh Spring Swap will be held at Creech Road Elementary School Park which is the same spot we held swaps the past. The park has a large shelter with bathrooms and running water/electricity. The shelter is a short walk from the parking lot so be prepared to haul your plants to and fro. This town park is a combination Elementary school playground/city park recreation area - so if you can find the school you can find the park. The shelter is at the back of the school's parking lot on your right as you drive in.
Set up begins as soon as the shelter is free (hopefully no one will be there before us). General Swap begins at 2:30pm ish. As soon as the dust settles and we've broken up any fistfights we will all sit down to a pot luck picnic lunch and behave like civilized gardeners. At any time special trades can be conducted either at the shelter or in the parking lot.
Need more help finding the place? Plug this data into mapquest (www.mapquest.com):
Mapquest will also give you detailed instructions on how to get from your house to the park and back home again. For those of you somewhat familiar with the area, here are the basics: Garner is a suburb of Raleigh. Downtown Garner is 10 minutes from downtown Raleigh and due south of it. The swap location is just past old downtown Garner on the east side of town, north of Hwy 70. Though many of the roads I will mention are highways, in this area they look and feel more like city streets. Get off of Interstate 40 on exit #299 and head south (away from downtown Raleigh). The road you are on is called Person Street or Hammond Road depending on which direction you are going, as it comes into Garner it becomes Timber Drive (there is no "welcome to Garner" sign on this road). Pretty soon you will approach a large intersection of Hwy 70 and Timber Drive. You want to turn left and head east. There are two left turn lanes at this intersection, choose the right lane of these two rather than the far left. You will go through a few traffic lights. The street Vandora Springs will cross overhead. The next street crossing overhead is Hwy 50, exit on the right onto Hwy 50 and cross over Hwy 70. At the first traffic light turn Right onto Old Garner Road East and head east. After passing by old downtown Garner you'll see a traffic light, turn Left onto Creech Road. You will see wooded parks and tennis courts and baseball diamonds on your right. The Elementary School is just after all that, on your right with a large blue sign. There is only one parking lot. The shelter for the swap is at the end of the parking lot on the right hand side.
|Thanks for the info John!!!
I'm also looking for Illustris & Black Magic Elephant Ears.
|Tammy - I am looking for the annual heliotrope which smells good
- Posted by trianglejohn z7b NC (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Mar 23, 09 at 14:26
|Tammy - Trianglegardener has the spleenwort. TriangleJohn has just one spleen and no worts!!! hee hee hee - he so funny.
Magick - I over wintered some Black Magic but they look awful so don't expect much. Somewhere I had some Illustris also but I don't see them in my big pile of elephants. I picked up some little tiny starts of the newest versions of Alocasia's at the Philadelphia Flower Show, none are winter hardy here, one is a super dark glossy black. If it ever grows I will be sharing but it is supposed to be very slow growing.
|John - The glossy black sounds exciting! Keep me posted - I haven't seen my Mickey Mouse EEs yet - I'm hoping they made it through the winter, as they are one of my favorite plants.
- Posted by trianglejohn z7b NC (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Mar 23, 09 at 16:51
|The correct name is Alocasia infernalis 'Kapit'. It doesn't get big, maybe two feet. I wanted it for patio containers. To me it looks more like a philodendron. I bought others as well, but they are all so tiny.. .I have trouble believing they are all gonna make it.
- Posted by crazyjncsu 7b (My Page) on Mon, Mar 23, 09 at 18:17
|We'll miss it, as we'll be out of town that weekend. We hope to make it in the fall though. We had so much fun last fall at our first one!
|oops- john i admit- i just read the triangle part and didn't think any further. Well, i don't need your spleen thanks. You keep it- really. I don't want any worts either. ;^P
So- trigardener, i have some toadlily i'd love to swap for your spleenwort. The one i have the most of is 'amethystina'.
I was scouting out in my yard today and i have 5 pots of jessamine, 2 pots of chrysanthemum 'country girl' seedlings, a couple pots of euphorbia robbiae, a couple pots of lathyrus latifolia seedlings (perenn sweet pea), some rudbeckia triloba, and a couple starts of the old fashioned bridal wreath spirea we've talked about before as well as lots of hellebore seedlings to dig still.
There's a list on my swap page of stuff i always have in abundance that i can dig, like obediant plant, b&b salvia, aromatic aster, jewelweed starts, perilla starts,' cherry bells' campanula puntacta, 'fireworks' goldenrod, etc. I haven't updated it lately, but feel free to ask if you see something you want.
- Posted by tophersmith 7b (My Page) on Tue, Mar 24, 09 at 23:24
|Does anyone have any varigated tapioco?
- Posted by trianglegardener (My Page) on Wed, Mar 25, 09 at 21:57
|Tammy - The toadlilies for the spleenwort fern would be great. I'm also interested in the euphorbia. Bob
|no problem, bob. I have them all over, if you want more than one. Deadhead or you will too! They have great green yellow filler blooms in about a month. Similar to lady's mantle, but does tons better here.
forgot to mention that i'm bring some dogwood babies, too.
|Magic I have black magic and illistrious,as well as two new ones from plants delight, jacks giant, hilo,and diamond head,however they have not come upyet if I dont make the swap can mail you one for your mickey mouse when it comes up hightider
|Topher, my variegated tapioca is still tiny, but if you can't find it elsewhere I'd be glad to take a cutting for you after it gets some size on it this summer. I'm afraid I won't be able to make the swap after all (conflicts that weekend), but let me know if you don't manage to pick one up. --Karen
|Hightider - I'd rather not set up a trade until I see what comes up. But I will put one aside for the fall swap for you if they made it thru the winter.
|My wife got very sick at Christmas with pneumonia and only recently got out of the hospital. She is finally able to walk again and is in outpatient rehab getting stronger every day. As a result I have not yet started any seeds or divided the cuttings that I took last fall. Even so, I do have have some of the old standbys plus a few new things to offer for trade. (I still have most of the plants, if only as cuttings, listed on my original trade list which I have not updated.) The new stuff includes a beautiful green & yellow variegated Shell Ginger (Alpina zerumbet) which I believe that I can separate. Also, several unusual colors of Sun Coleus and of Double Flowered Impatiens. The latter include 'Apple Blossom', 'Ole Peach Sorbet', variegated "Pink Frost" and several other colors. Also, three versions of the new hybrid Euphorbia 'Diamond Frost', Silver Fog', etc. that make a basketball sized mound of tiny white flowers that last until late fall. Pineapple Guava seedlings that are now 2 years old in 1-gal pots. Plenty of the hardy Impatien arguta plus I. omeiana. And the following - May Apple, Japanese Painted Fern, Portulaca 'Giant Bicolor', Angel Trumpet 'Charles Grimaldi', Lysimachia 'Goldilocks' and 'Outback Sunset', Arum italicum, Toad Lilies including the variegated 'Lightning Strike', several Salvias including 'San Carlos Festival', Mexican Bush sage and uliglnosa; Bloodflower or Mexican Butterfly Weed (Asclepias curassavica) in gallon pots already in flower; Celandine poppies; hardy Fuchsia 'Sanihof'; Mexican petunias (Ruellia) and several varieties of Tradescantia.
|Ralph so glad to hear your wife is getting better everyday but sorry to hear the trials you both went through! Send our well wishes her way , please.
Your list is amazing as ever, esp given the problems. Are you looking for anything in particular yourself?
- Posted by tophersmith 7b (My Page) on Tue, Mar 31, 09 at 18:26
Sory to here about your wife I am glad she is doing better. I would love to try some lightening stike toad lily. I can never get Alpina zerumbet to over winter, what's yor secret?
I will have at least one Loquat 2nd year plat to bring as well.
- Posted by rootdiggernc Z-7A NC (My Page) on Wed, Apr 1, 09 at 19:11
|Hey Ralph, sorry to hear about your wife and glad she's getting better!
I'd love a couple of your Guavas if we can arrange something. What are you looking for?
I can't make it this year, but Tammy is going to handle a few special swaps for me.
TJ, you know to always keep me down for EE's, lol... I'll be up that way both before and after your swap so will see you sometime during that. Can't believe I'm going to miss it this year!
What an awful new year this has been for you two. Here's hoping things get better and you both have a healthy happy rest of the year.
- Posted by brenda_near_eno Z7a (My Page) on Sat, Apr 4, 09 at 8:21
|Ralph, I'm glad Cheryl is better. I bet you are both happy that you got to take that UK trip.
Karen, if you have any specials, I'd be happy to carry for you. You were missing a salvia last swap - can't remember which one, but let me nkwo because I remember that it was one I already have and can divide/root.
We're a bunch of slackers with no specials postings this year!
|I have noticed that there are lots of little seedlings of Verbena-On-A-Stick (V. bonariensis) coming up in one of my lettuce beds. Anyone who would like some, let me know. I will pot them up in 6-packs.
Likewise, the yellow-flowered day-blooming Evening Primrose (Oenothera berlandiera Siskiyou) around my mailbox needs thinning and I can pot these up in 6-packs for anyone that wants some. Be aware that these will spread out, but they do not appear to be as aggressive as the pink flowered O. speciosa. I have mine planted in a ring around the mailbox between the lawn and Stella d'Oro day lilies and they have grown into both.
|Brenda, thanks for the offer, but I'm not even organized enough for specials this spring. Hopefully I'll be in touch with you later in the season to see if there's anything we can swap here in N. Durham. I'm looking at all kinds of great plants right now that came from your garden to mine in past years (bloodroot, tiarella, brunnera, kirengoshoma, goodyera, iris tectorum, etc, etc) and thinking how much I've benefited from your propagation efforts. As for that salvia, Ralph had another and I met up with him after the big plant grab in Raleigh last fall, so I'm all caught up. My greenhouse is coming along, so I should be able to do a lot more salvia propagating for future swaps.
Ralph, I'm so sorry to hear what a time your family has had this winter, and glad that your wife is making progress in rehab. I've got a few things tucked away out there in my jungle that I thought you would like and will save them for next time I see you.
|Hi, everyone, this is my first post! First of all, I want to say a huge thank you for all the plants I received at the Fall Swap last year. I am just starting my garden in Holly Springs, and it was such a blessing!
Here is my wish list:
I have:
I am looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday!
|Ralph, so sorry that things have been rough for you and your family. It is good to hear that your wife is recovering. It will be great to see you both.
Well, my green house turned into a brown house this winter. I lost power to it during one of the cold fronts. We were out of town so it was not discovered until later. Most everything is gone or at least appears that way. I've cut everything way back and am waiting for any minute signs of life. Some of these things have sentimental value so I really am shattered.
Some of the things that look like goners are: a pink hibiscus that my MIL gave me at least 10 years ago. I have traded rooted cutting for it in the past. (I really stink at rooting cuttings, so if someone has this and could root a cutting for me for next swap I would be eternally grateful) A plain pineapple, the rainbow pineapple pups seem to have made it. Those are the two biggies. Other things that I really will miss are cuban oregano that Ralph included in one of our trades and the newest additions: tibouchina and a sweet little white flowering thing from Tammy's fair plot. I am always looking for shade loving plants and eventhough my trade page is not current my wants rarely changes.
|Aww- Shannon! So sorry to hear that. Listen, i have one little pot of tibouchina that now has your name on it (i wasn't sure why i was hanging onto it but now i know!). Not sure what little white flowered thing you are referring to- can you give me more clues? if i have some, i'll share happily. I still have that pineapple pup cluster you gave me, but am thinking it was the rainbow, not the plain. Serrated edges? There's plenty to share, so if it was the plain, let me know and i'll bring some. I'll happily snag some of your maters as i haven't started any yet (late as always...)
Suzanne, i'd be happy to trade with you! I have several of the things you're looking for, and you have some stuff i'd like. So- i can get you some georgia blue, coneflower, rudbeckia triloba ( abit different that the typical rudbeckia), and cuttings of powis castle and hot lips, both easy t grow from cuttings. I'd love to get some mini mondo, mini daffs (later is fine)and some of your wild ginger. do you have the deciduous type (asarum canadensis) or the evergreen (hexastylis) kind? I'm especially looking for the deciduous, but will be happy with either. What color is your iris?
- Posted by deirdre_2007 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 5, 09 at 12:16
|I do not have any plants to exchange, but I will be happy to bring some baked goods. I'm thinking zuchinni bread/banana bread and maybe cookies of some kind. My sister and my mother are both coming to visit, and I'm wondering if we can all come???? Could I make this a family outing? My husband and father can watch the kids while my sister, mother and I disperse baked goods/talk plants.
I've never been to a swap, even though I've wanted to go each time. Thank you in advance for your replies.
|Tanya, I would like to bring you some shade loving plants for some vegetables and basil plants. I think that I still have a Cuban Oregano plant, or at least I did last fall. I will put together a box of stuff for you. Anything that you do not want can go on the table for general distribution.
- Posted by tophersmith 7 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 5, 09 at 22:21
|I just realized that this coming Saturday is he one on Easter weekend, I wil be down in Florida visiting the in laws :( Anyone who is still interested in trading via meeting later, let me know.
|Tammy, thanks for the tibouchina. I'll bring you tomatoes and any other veggies you desire, do you want one of each? I traded you rainbow pineapple, much more prickly than the plain one, but pretty by the end of summer. Were you the person I had planned on trading for a stevia at the fall swap? I ended up not being able to attend. Let me know what I else I can bring for you.
Ralph, that cuban oregano was one of the surprises in your box a couple of years ago and it turned out to be such a favorite. Your boxes are always more than generous and I end up feeling that it is totally a lopsided trade. I'll bring you one of each veggie like always.
|Magick: I can give you some Japanese painted fern for some mat-forming sedum.
Trianglegardener: I have trillium cuneatum and would like foamflower.
|tanya- nope- i don't need stevia, but thanks. I'll gladly take the veggie starts, though!
deirdre, bring as many as you wish- there's plenty of room. There's a small playset nearby for the chilluns, too.
|Woodsworm - I'd love to trade some sedum for your painted ferns!
- Posted by trianglegardener (My Page) on Tue, Apr 7, 09 at 18:14
|Woodsworm: The trillium would be appreciated. I'll put a couple of foamflowers aside for you.
|Tammy, my iris are so new to me ( I have a bunch and someone just gave me some more) --- I can't remember the colors. I potted the wild ginger for you --- I think it is evergreen, but it grows wild in my wooded backyard, and I just don't go down there in the winter much ;) Looking forward to Saturday!
|Suzanne- don't worry about the iris. I already have plenty. I was just curious more than anything. the ginger probably is the evergreen type- it's more common here. That's fine- i have lots of woods and will be happy to plant it. What i want the most is some of the mini mono. :)
|I am late to the party, as usual! ;-) Here's what I have potted up and ready to go:
Variegated princess lily
Here's what I have that I can dig if you want:
Looking for a white brugmansia, some bloodroot, or whatever you have...
See ya tomorrow,
|Hey Sally! Didn't know if you were coming or not. Just wanted to remind you about the Canna 'Intrique' from the Fall Swap:) I haven't been organized enough for special trades this year,lol.
|Sally, I would love to trade with you for Tricyrtis 'Autumn Glow'. Do you have either of the variegated Tricyrtis' 'Lightning Strike' and or 'Samurai'? Also, either or both Monardas? I can dig some M. 'Jacob Kline' for you if you are interested. I am interested in either Canna and your Tradescatia and Var. Hosta if I have something that you would like in return. I posted a partial list of things that I have available earlier in this discussion. Are you still interested in Mexican Petunias? I need to dig several clumps from the flowerbed in front of our house and can bring you several if you want them.
Root Digger. I will bring two Pineapple Guava and give them to Tammy for you.
Brenda, my Impatien zombensis still lives. I can take a cutting and either bring it tomorrow, or root it myself and give it to you later? I bought an Impatiens species from Tony in February. I can divide a piece of it for you also if you like.

Interview with Cara CumminsDesigner, Interviews
Cara Cummins with her architect husband Jose Tavel and their rescue dogs
It is my pleasure to introduce Cara Cummins - principal in TaC Studios, architect, designer and the first J. Neel Reid Prize winner. Cara's home is one of my favorite homes ever featured in Metropolitan Home. Enjoy the interview and the photos of Cara and Jose's beautiful Atlanta home!
How would you describe your own style?
I am driven by function and purpose, utility is my style.
Looking back at your first project what decorating knowledge do you wish you had back then designing the interiors?
Have no fear, and avoid perfect.
Is there a designer that has influenced you?
Ray Eames, Clodagh, John Pawson, Anne Fougeron, Charles-Édouard Jeannere aka Le Corbusier, Eileen Grey.
Some designers believe that the first piece for any room is the rug or a painting that sets up the colors palette. What is your first source of inspiration?
Typically I am inspired by the purpose of the space, the view, the quality of light, or when working with a client they may have an existing object. Color is always abstract until placed in the context of the space and it's light .
How do you achieve a good scale? Scale is a really interesting and difficult topic.
Scale is always coupled with proportion. Often we will change the ceiling height in the space to better define that space, to break it away from the whole. The feeling of compressed space at an entry, coupled with the relief of that space can create a transition that breaks away from the life outside the entry.
What do you love to do when you are not designing?
Making that design come to life, entertaining or being entertained.
Who are your favorite artists?
Currently Louise Bourgeois, she was so honest and brave in her work.
Your favorite books?
Anything by Anis Nin, Umberto Eco, Italo Calvino, the list is too long.
What does success mean to you?
Always having something that must be done.
My signature Design Elements question – what are the most important design elements?
Light, understanding the how, the why, and the when.

Interview with Vicente WolfDesigner, Interviews
"The loft is my retreat. I have done exactly what I wanted to the space and filled it with objects I love in the casual way I want to live. You, too, can take your space into your own hands. I am not suggesting you copy what I've done, because the point is not to mimic anyone but to follow your own muse, whether you choose a designer or design yourself. What I am offering is a template – a few strategies to adopt or discard to get you started – because once you have really learned to see, you will find what you like and go your own way. Designing anything is a process and you should continue to add and subtract. Change is what keeps a space, and an individual, alive. How do you want to feel when you walk into a room? Comfortable? Tranquil? Energized? Once you know what makes you feel good, you can create a room that reflects your own emotions and sensibility. Designing is all about getting in touch with yourself."
Vicente Wolf, "Learning to See"
I'm a huge fan of Vicente Wolf – designer extraordinaire with a definite point of view; with passion for design guided by simplicity and integrity; master of combining different styles in a way that feels effortless; extremely talented and a natural at what he does; superb photographer, passionate art collector and intrepid world traveler. Vicente Wolf has been at the top of the design industry for over 35 years. Architectural Digest included him in their "AD 100" and he was also named one of the top 100 designers by Metropolitan Home's "Design 100". House Beautiful named Vicente Wolf one of the 10 most influential designers in the United States and Interior Design Magazine inducted him in its "Designer Hall of Fame". He has received the Pantone Color Award and was named one of the "Top 20 Designers of the past 20 Years". Vicente Wolf has published 3 books - "Learning to See" 2002, "Crossing Boundaries: A Global Vision of Design" 2006 and "Lifting the Curtain on Design" 2010 – all favorites of mine! I've posted quotes from them here and here. I'm running out of superlatives. So here is the interview. Enjoy. I sure did!
How would you describe your own style?
Spaces that are comfortable, elegant, but still relaxed with accents of different cultures and periods. The architecture shines through with clean and sharp lines.
When did you first realize that you wanted to be an interior designer?
In my early 20s.
Looking back at your first project what decorating knowledge do you wish you had back then designing the interiors?
The conviction of my vision to not use pattern. Even though the pattern was used everywhere in my first project, which neutralized it, but now I wouldn't use pattern.
Is there a designer that has influenced you?
Yes, David Hicks.
Some designers believe that the first piece for any room is the rug or a painting that sets up the color palette. What is your first source of inspiration?
The requirements of the client, the pros and cons of the space, and my imagination.
How do you find connections between disparate things?
It is instinctual to me, and I see if they play well against each other.
How do you achieve this simplicity in your interiors?
By not using pattern, dealing with the architecture of the backgrounds in a balanced, clean way.
How do you achieve a sense of warmth and unity?
Warmth is a subliminal message that gets conveyed by a balance of shapes, tones, and a strong sense of humanity in the space.
How do you achieve a sense of good scale?
Born with it.
Please finish the sentence: The best moments of any project are:
Beginning and the end.
What do you find fascinating?
Being in places outside of my comfort zone that allow my imagination to come up with new ideas and visions.
You visited the tallest sand dunes in the world in Namibia, tribes in Papua New Guinea that were still living in complete isolation, you heard the temple bells in Bhutan… What surprised you the most?
How lost we are here in NY, and how we've lost the sense of what's really important.
The treasures that you found…
I bring to my showroom, VW Home. I have the pleasure of finding them and the freedom to let them go.
Your top travel tip…
By an around-the-world ticket. It gives you the opportunity to travel to many places at a low cost.
What are for you the keys to a happy and meaningful life?
Nice clients, time off to explore, a meaningful relationship, and the freedom to eliminate the things that work against these things.
photos: Vicente Wolf
p.s.: A note by me
Some years ago I have no idea of interior design. A few months before my bar exam my husband gave me a wonderful book – it was "Learning to See". This book has changed the way I view things. I began learning to see… It is not enough to be passionate about design. We have to stand for something. Vicente's way inspires and reminds me of my favorite movie scene. In "Indecent Proposal" an architect (Woody Harrelson as David Murphy) stands in front of his students talking about architecture and great architects. His words: "the great ones are impossible to deal with… because they know that if they do their jobs properly… if they just this once get it right… they can actually lift the human spirit… take it to a higher place."
Thank you, Vicente, for doing your job properly, continually inspiring us, sharing your knowledge, taking us to a higher place…

Interview with David HicksDesigner, Interviews
It is my pleasure to introduce David Hicks – one of Australia's leading interior designers. Enjoy the conversation and David's extraordinary creations.
How would you describe your own style?
I describe my style as modern luxury. I am heavily influenced by the modernists for my architectural work and detailing and love a bit of luxury. So I often combine the two in my work. My architectural style is very minimal and streamlined with using a currated palette of finishes, I then layer onto this the decorative. My decorative style is very eclectic yet considered. I use pieces from different periods and cultures and love to mix and match. This is a contrast to the architectural bones of my spaces but I make it work in harmony.
What inspired you to get into design?
Ever since I was a young child I loved design. I used to make little houses in the garden out of sticks and landscape around them, driving my toy cars into the minaiture properties. I loved James Bond movies and the sets they used to design. I think it was just in my blood really. I always wanted to be an architect but decided on interiors due to the quicker change over on projects. I think I would get too bored working on a building for years and years.
Looking back at your first project what decorating knowledge do you wish you had back then designing the interiors?
My first project was very minimal. It was all white and black and very modernist. Some would consider it not to be decorative but I did. I was decorative in the sheer expanse of simple materials used. The materials became the decoration and the precisely placed modern furniture. I suppose if I had more of an insight, as I do now, into decoration the space may have been a bit softer, but having said that it is one of my favourite projects.
Is there a designer that has influenced you?
I am going to say what most architects say, Mies van der Rohe. I love his work. I am also influenced by Lautner and Neutra and the Los Angeles modernism. I am influenced by people in fashion such as Tom Ford and from movies. As mentioned before I have been hugely influenced by the sets of the old James Bond movies.
Some designers believe that the first piece for any room is the rug or a painting that sets up the colors palette. What is your first source of inspiration?
This changes from project to project. I generally do not start with any one thing. The palette seems to just build up by itself. I am primarily more concerned with the bones of a space. This then allows for beautiful decoration. Once the materials of the space have been defined I then look at the decorative. This usually starts with a loose theme and is built up from there. Paintings, rugs, furniture upholstery and furniture itself are really layered to create a whole. I do not start with just one thing.
How do you achieve a good scale? Scale is a really interesting and difficult topic.
Scale is very important in design. It is what we as human beings relate to in a space. It is also what can make a space feel comfortable or uncomfortable. I often play with scale to create a bit of personality to a space. This come naturally to me and works most times. I do not labour over the size of things, rather trust my instincts and just go with it.
What do you love to do when you are not designing?
I love travelling. This is what really inspires me and feeds me. I like food, good wine and googling anything and everything on the Internet. Google is such an amazing thing. I can spend hours and hours on google.
Who are your favorite artists?
My favourite artists would have to be Meadmore, Australian working in America, for his amazing bronze sculptures; Dale Frank, Australian, for his amazing use of color; Curtis Jere, an American artist, for his now vintage creations and Charles Hollis Jones, another American for his work in lucite.
Your favorite books?
You know it's terrible, I do not tend to read much. I am a visual person and love picture books. I do not really have a favourite as I love most picture based books. If I had to say I really like books on Helmut Newton photography and Mies van der Rohe architecture.
What does success mean to you?
Success is what you make it. I am always striving for success. I think most designers are subconsciously. It is the art of trying to be better and better and better. This is what drives me, the desire to perfect my craft. To make money doing this is success.
My signature Design Elements question – what are the most important design elements?
The most important design elements are space and materials. If the architectural space is not beautiful then the decoration will not be successful. Detail and how the space is put together is very important to me.

Victoria Coffee/End Table
My grandmother is a big fan of wood furniture. In fact, Century furniture, like the Victoria table you see above, is a staple in her home. You cannot even carry a little chair made of walnut yourself – it is so heavy! My grandma loves Victorian furniture but in wood instead of ceramics and porcelain.
If you are wondering what Victoria furniture is like:
Victorian furniture was usually ornate – not plain – they had a piece of furniture for every situation tea tables, hall chairs, parlor chairs, etc. much of the decorations was from the influence from gothic forms with heavy proportions, dark finish, elaborate carving.
It is named for Queen Victoria of England who reigned from 1837-1901 and was the first furniture style of mass production.

Smoking Cessation
Our smoking cessation classes use the Cooper-Clayton Method, a safe and effective way to help people stay smoke-free for the rest of their lives. The Cooper-Clayton Method is a comprehensive behavioral smoking cessation program that was started more than 20 years ago by Thomas Cooper, DDS, a dentist and former heavy smoker, and Richard Clayton, PhD, an expert on drug addiction. This highly successful program is science based and uses proven methods, including education, skills training and social support. There are 13 weekly one-hour sessions followed by relapse prevention. Participants use nicotine replacement products such as the nicotine patch, nicotine gum or nicotine lozenge.
Mark Twain said, "Quitting smoking is easy. I've done it a thousand times." Have you tried to quit, too? Don't give up. No matter how old you are or how long you've smoked, quitting can help you live longer and be healthier. One year after quitting, the excess risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker's. As an ex-smoker, you can enjoy immediate rewards like better smelling breath and clothing, whiter teeth, better tasting food, and everyday activities will no longer leave you out of breath. (Source: American Cancer Society)

- I'm hoping to maybe ask for more responsibilities as there is someone leaving at the end of the month, and I'm trying to make the case that I could probably do most of her work and mine, and if I was able to save the company a lot of money by taking over a full extra position, I think that would probably be worth me making a case for a pretty decent raise.
- I've lost 4 pounds. I don't have a scale, so it's possible since I last went to the dr. I could have lost more, but I don't know for sure. I'm working on the losing weight for real right now, we'll see.
- I'm a lot better about being better on myself. Especially after my diagnosis. It was a relief, to say, "This is just how I am, and I'm not being weak or a baby. I'm just in more pain than normal people." The ability to have something to point to, to explain how I am… it allowed me to be better to myself. It explains why sometimes I need more sleep, or sometimes, I really just have trouble walking.
- We need to make sure it's not the more serious version of what I have before we start looking at houses right now. Because, that would change where I want to live. I wouldn't need to live in a certain area, because I would not be having kids. If I'm not having kids, I can live a lot more places. I would even move west or to Florida. If I don't have to worry about whether or not the school is good.
- The same goes for having kids. Obviously, the prgnancy goal is on hold until the diagnosis is for sure one type or the other. I am not bringing a child into the world if I know my life expectancy is under 50 years old and I have a 50% chance of passing that on to my children and a 12% chance of dying during childbirth.
*The language goal has been no progress. BUT I did fianlly invest in a pair of earbuds so, I could feasably do this while in the many waiting rooms I'll be in in my future.
Beth has written 17 entries about this goal
•I got a small raise in Jan. So, I guess this part of my goals are completed, but I'm going to keep wroking hard so I can get more money sooner rather than later.
•Slowly working on getting better clothes.
•Haven't really lost weight, with the pain it's been just too hard to try to keep up with right now. I'm trying to fix one thing at a time… and it's all I can do right now.
• I'm still kinda hard on myself, but I think I've been a little better. When I'm exhausted, I take a nap. I know that's a stupid pro for this, but I wasn't taking naps, trying to get everything done… and it was affecting me. So, if I'm too tired, I just sleep. It's not a big step, but it's one in the rigth direction.
• My husband is talking to the loan officer now to obtain a loan as quickly and easily as possible once we get the money, THEN in June (or around then) we will start looking for houses!!! We have somewhat agreed on an area… (I've been stubborn about where I'm willing to live, but we want to have kids, and I want the best I can give them).
• Was breifly pregnant, maybe next time I'll make it until I have a child. I guess I should have been more specific of my goal. Have a child. That's the end goal here.
•Haven't really been working on learning languages, haven't had much time lately, but I hope to get this checked off sooner than later. I should have some time now that the boat is in the water… I have a little less to do because a lot of what I was busy doing was trying to get ready to get the boat in the water…
Next Dec. 23 I'd like my life to be different:
- more money at my job, whether this be through a promotion or just a raise, either way.
- better clothes! I want to look the way I WANT to look, not the way I do. I want to wear nice things, that present myself the way I want to be presented.
- lose weight! (for real this time, I hope). I'm planning on going gluten free for the month of Jan. to see if it will help me with any of my pain, and I'm hoping that it will also help me lose weight. If it helps with anything, I'm hoping I can keep it up in Feb. too. I'm also planning on going to the gym more. The problem with that is it's a double edged sword with me. The gym makes my back hurt, but the only way to make my back better is the gym… sigh.
- Be a little gentler with myself. I am still hard on myself, and I need to be better about that.
- Buy a house. A home. Someplace that we love, that we can raise a family in. Somewhere that will feel like home to our future children.
- Get pregnant. Like seriously, this is on my mind all the time now. I guess it's that clock people talk about all the time. Anyhow, once we get out of the in-laws house I hope to make this a reality.
- Learn portuguese! It's been a goal of mine for a long time, but I finally found a free language app for my phone, and this could actually be a reality, I hope. A little bit every day, hopefully I'll get there and by the end of the year, I'll have a pretty good grasp on it.
So, It's a little after Dec. 16. But Eh, I was busy??
Anyhow how did I do?
I think I did okay. We have some money in a savings account, I have a 401K now, so I have finally invested SOMETHING somewhere (and I'm getting 23% on my investments, thank you very much). I got a new position at my work, and I like it at least a little better than my last. (I actually don't mind the work at all, and like that part quite a bit better than previously, however, I'm having some issues with the other girl I work with being a huge b… so there's that. I really have been closer with my husband, and I have to make a real effort, but I've been better at helping around the house. I have not lost weight… and I guess I sort of gave up, but I'm hoping next year I can. Moneywise, beyond investing, we're actually really well off for the time being. We found someone to rent our place and until we get a lump sum next year, we're staying at his parents house and we're pocketing half of the rent. It's not easy, because I really have no business living with other adults, but, I know it will be worth it. I really didn't do better with clothes AT ALL this year, but I think I'll be better next year, especially now that I have more $ to spend on it, as well as uniforms for work, so I won't ruin my clothes any more. Definitely made a few new friends this year, and they're wonderful, so that's a happy note. Things are looking up compared to last year, and I hope to keep that going.
- Started with taking over finances for our family. Why? Because we need transparency as a couple!
- Started my 401K and I'm happy with that and counting it as my investment for the year. I can borrow against it, and it's adding up faster than I thought it would at 3%.
*My schedule is benefitting my goal to do more around the house …every other week. On my early weeks, I am able to help out, but on my late weeks, it's late enough that I can't do anything when I get home, but early enough that I can't really get anything done before I leave. Such is life, I guess. Me and my husband need to work on things in general though, because I'd like to have children in the near future, but I just find that I am not sure that I want my kids raised the way he does. It could be a big problem… but we're going to work through it.
*I've been actually wearing makeup and contacts to work, and starting to buy new clothes that I actually like. I have a ways to go, but I'm happy with the things I've bought in the last few weeks, and been getting rid of the things I don't like any longer.
*Made a really great new friend. So, there's that.
I'm doing really bad at losing weight. It's been weighing on me lately. I have been in a lot of pain and can't get to the gym despite the fact that I really want to. So, I'm focusing on my diet right now. I've started by allowing myself LESS fast food and I'm working towards NO fast food. That will be a start. Beyond that, I'm working on eating less gluten after lunch. I feel like I don't need a ton of carbs right before bed, I have no reason to eat that much unless I'm planning on staying up all night and partying. I don't, I have a bed time and it's not late, so I don't need the energy to last all night. My husband is putting a little bit of a fight up, but I pick meals he likes, and he's not going to notice. I should have gone with my gut and just not told him, he never would have noticed we weren't having gluten if I just had eliminated it on my own.
We're working on the finances right now. We have been a little short on cash lately, but we're saving some money, and we're working towards our goals. We're never so short we won't make it through, and we have a little bit of money we can fall back on, so it's not that huge of a deal, but we are slowly working towards saving money.
I'm not sure if I'll be investing any money. BUT I have a 401K and so I think that counts towards this actually. I may not have any extra money right now, but I'm happy that I started this 401K.
We aren't able to put our condo on the market right now because the people below us just foreclosed :(. SO, it's up for rent. Hey, it's not ideal, but we'll be out and on our way to something good. We're doing it through a realeastate agenecy… so they will do a credit cand background check first as well, which is good. AND they'll take care of getting the deposit and should the person just LEAVE they'll start trying to rent it out. Not to mention they'll have the lease written up and it will hold up in court this way should anything happen.
I'm working on the clothing. I donated a TON of clothes this week. So, I'm getting rid of the things I don't love. Now I just have to work on the buying things I love, things I want to be seen in.
I've been being a better wife. I really have been. Contributing to our marriage more. We had a big fight about him not including me in things and how that makes me feel like I don't want to include my help in things and it is getting better. And he's starting to actually understand that I'm really constantly in pain, and I'm not just saying that to get out of doing things, but because I'm in a lot of pain pretty much all the time. I'm working on the pain management, but until then, he is working with me now. And not rolling his eyes. And he is understanding that I can't lift a lot of things but I will do dishes, and I'll sweep the house, and make the bed. I'll do what I can, but he has stopped trying to force me to do more than I can now.
I've been wearing my contacts, but I'm still working on the doing my hair thing. It's just a lot of work that I don't feel like doing usually so that I can get all dusty and dirty at work :). But I think I'll get there. I'm getting better about so many things lately.
Started my new job, and I really like it so so much better than my last position… which I didn't hate but I was glad to move on. It came with a raise, which is nice. I also finally started putting money in my 401K here, and they match some percentage of up to 3%.
We almost had our condo sold…but then the buyer couldn't get financed. It was disapointing, but we have an idea of what it would sell for and we're working towards putting it on the market right now.
Because of my new position, people aren't around as much. It's really really great. It's a lot easier to not let people get under my skin when there isn't really anyone there to get under my skin. I have been sooo much better about just being nice. Just nice to everyone I can be nice to. Working hard and it's a new thing for me to have to actually work all day. I like it though, and get a sense of accomplishment when I know I'm doing more work than they thought I would.
I can't even explain how many new friends I've made. It has always been hard for me to make new friends because it turns out people don't like me. Or rather, they didn't like me. But now, somehow I've become less awkward and people think I'm great—all of the sudden. I'm not sure why or how, but I'll take it. Maybe it has something to do with me making an honest effort to always be genuine with everyone around me. Maybe it has something to do with being happy at work now, because when I'm unhappy at work, I'm less fun :). It doesn't really make a difference why, people actually like me lately, and I'm just going to think it's a good thing.
I'm stuck still at the weight I was in April, but it really HAS been changing diet wise. I'm now drinking one soda a day at most, so that's a start I swear. I'm eating food from home at lunch and breakfast more often, and I can feel the plateau about to end. I can just feel it in the air.
I really think I'm becoming better every day. My life is getting better. I'm finding my way out of problems, I'm working towards something I'm doing something I don't hate anymore. I am working with people who appreciate the work I put in and who appreciate me. :). Life is getting better little by little, day by day.
I am working harder on losing weight, going to the gym every other day, and I am starting to be more aware of what goes in my body…even though it's sort of a tough truth to realize EVERYTHING has to change but it's still a truth. It's getting better, and I'm already notciing a difference and I am certain the weight will start to go down soon.
Talked to my OBGYN about starting a family, starting on prenatal vitamins and we're looking at selling our condo so we'll be in a permanent home eventually…sooner rather than later.
I have nicer pants and nicer clothes, and I'm working on this, but being that I AM losing weight, I don't intend on buying a ton of clothes right now, because I won't be in them forever.
I am still working on the not letting others bother me thing. I have started to come to terms more with the fact that I won't see eye to eye with everyone. I can feel good about it usually though, as long as I was the best person I could be. I will continue to try to live like this… it feels good.
I actually have made a few new friends, and they're great. Lovely people really, and I look forward to seeing them…and my husband likes them. It's been nice and drama free lately.
I just got offered a new position at work, and so I'll be moving over to a different job with different people. I'm really looking forward to it. It will be a LOT more work than what I'm currently doing, but I think that will be good. I can honestly say, I think it will be a great fit for me, and I look forward to when I can go over there.
I am working on being a better person still, but I think I am getting better every day. It's sometimes hard to take a breath and realize that I'm getting dragged down by someone who is just unhappy and miserable. I am getting better at it though. I can usually find a reason to smile.
Well, I think that this is a different life than I had at this time last year. But I don't know if it's for the better. SO I'll keep this goal up here again this year.
Next December 16th,
I'd like to be fit and thin. Happy with my body the weight it's at, and the shape it's in. Comfortable in clothes and able to wear the things I like to wear.
I'd like to be thinking about if not on our way to a family. Because I can't wait forever for that, even if I would put it off a few more years if I could because I still want to have so much fun!
I'd like to be happy in my marriage. Obviously I won't be happy at all times, but happier than sad. I'd like to make the changes I need to believe in my husband and have him believe in me the way that I need. I would like to make changes to be a more supportive wife. It's not easy because I'm selfish… so I'm working on changing that. It's a slow and go process, but I'm working at it.
I'd like to have a better wardrobe. Every year I want better clothes. Because I know how I want to look, and I'd love to look that way. I think a main part of this goal is losing weight. Because I think I'll look better in the things I want to wear at the weight I want to be.
I want to be HEALTHY. I want to feel good. I obviously don't mean never get a cold, but I want my heart not to hurt from stress and I want my body to feel good after running up stairs. I want to be in better shape physically and to start to sort out the things that are holding me down, like my allergies which I know I have because after nearly every meal my face turns bright red… I hope that doesn't mean a gluten allergy because I am not really as ready to go gluten free as I'd hoped.
I want to get over the things that bother me about others. This includes my cousin whom I just no longer respect as a person. The problem is, now whenever I see her…everything she does bothers me. This is because even though I don't respect her I care about her and so when she's being stupid, I want to fix her. I can't, and I need to let it go. I will be happier having let it go. I just need to learn how.
I want to make friends with more people who lift me up. I can't believe that the friends I've made in the past few years are more like family to me than any of the friends I had before. I've gotten rid of so many people, and I always felt bad about it at first, because I felt I was not being fair to them. Not giving them the chance they deserved, but now that I have friends that are so wonderful, I can't imagine why I kept people around who didn't make me feel this way. I want more of that. And I want to continue to rid my life of the people who weigh it down. I find, my new friends are more like family to me than my family at times, and I can trust them more than I've trusted my friends in the past, and I just know this is how it's supposed to be. So, now I have a bench mark, and I hope I can find more people to be around that get me and don't expect me to be something I'm not or fit into some mold.
I hope to find something more meaningful to do, perhaps where I'm at now, or maybe somewhere else. But something I can be proud of. Something that allows me to grow professionally and use all the skills I know I have. Something I can smile about doing. Something I like to go to work and do every single day. (okay, if people enjoyed work EVERY single day, we wouldn't get paid to do it…but still… at least most days).
I want to rise above things. Because I want to be that good person I know I am deep inside. I want to be the good person that people know is so good there's just no possible way she did something bad, it's just not believable. I want to be kinder to those around me, I want to be kinder to myself, and I want to do the right thing…every time.
I've lost a few more pounds, (at least an inch this month in my waist and hips!) and it's a work in progress. I know I can do it, just have to keep working towards that goal.
I've been cleaning my mothers house weekly and brinigng home $20 in cash that I've been able to hide away. :). It's not much yet because I just started but it will add up quickly enough :):).
Still showing up with wet hair. I hate drying my hair. I DO put my outfits out the night before so that's a start. I got up 20 minutes earlier the other day and I LOVED IT. I can't believe how much I get done in 20 minutes!
I've not been better as a wife. I can honestly say I feel bad for my husband lately. LOL. I've been feeling rather sorry for myself for all of my medical problems lately and just unattractive and gross and this isn't his fault, but he gets the brunt of the problems because I'm not wanting to show affection or be close… It really is something I have to work on. Consciously. I've been focused on myself and I need to find a way to focus on me AND him. I know he isn't leaving but I don't want to give him any reasons to want to. That's not fair to him.

Air France KLM has increased the capacity on its Paris-Lagos and Amsterdam-Lagos routes with 1,000 seats for the summer, Daily Trusts reports.
Etienne Rachou, Air France KLM's vice president for Africa and the Middle East said the company has increased the number of seats it is selling by more than 20% through increasing the number of flights and using larger aircraft for Nigerian routes.
He added that the boost in services is evidence that the company is committed to the Nigerian market.
Rachou spoke at the re-opening of the Air France KLM office in Abuja. Air France KLM is the holding company of Air France and KLM.

Charles 1's silk knitted undershirt is at the Museum of London. It's knitted at some outrageously small stitch gauge -- 17 to 21 st/in., maybe? -- but ought to be easy enough to figure out from the picture. In fact, I'm sort of trying to do just that for another 17th/18th c. knitted undershirt. But I'm not a (complete) glutton for punishment; my recreated version will probably be knitted at around 7 to 9 stitches/inch. Maybe.

The yarn is stunning by itself, but the texture your knitting creates really makes it pop... it's sort of: now you see, now you don't. Initially I didn't consciously see it, but then I did a double-take because I knew there was something interesting my brain had seen which my eyes hadn't registered.
I saw some yarn that looked just like this today, but it was a different name (buggered if I can remember)...

What's going to make it look especially awesome on *this* knitter is that I still have my arms, but I'm missing a leg LOL. My friends are going to die laughing. Can't wait.

The "Kulbit" (also known as the "Frolov chakra" after Russian test pilot Yevgeni Frolov) is an aerial maneuver developed by Russian pilots in which the aircraft performs an extremely tight loop, often not much wider than the length of the aircraft itself. It is an example of post-stall maneuvering,[1] a type of supermaneuverability.[1] Like most post-stall maneuvers, it demonstrates pitch control outside of the normal flight envelope wherein pitch control is made possible by having aerodynamic flow over the aircraft's elevators or stabilators.
The Kulbit drastically decreases the aircraft's speed and could theoretically be used to cause a pursuing aircraft to overshoot its target. The maneuver is closely related to the famous "Pugachev's Cobra" maneuver, but the Kulbit completes the loop that the Cobra almost immediately cuts off.
Aircraft known to be able to execute the "Kulbit"[edit]
The following aircraft are currently known to be able to execute the "Kulbit":
All have performed the Kulbit in airshow displays in the past.
- ^ a b Fighter Technology of the Future
- ^ Double Kulbit by MiG-29OVT
- ^ Kulbit by SU-37
- ^ F-22 Kulbit Maneuver

Sanding blocks are used to remove the protective clear coat and any oil and cooking residue on the cabinetry.
Tip: Foam sanding blocks, which can form to various shapes, are easier to grip than sandpaper for this step.
Wipe the cabinets with a tack cloth to remove sanding dust
The cabinets are taped where they meet the wall and along the back side of the doors to prevent paint from possibly bleeding through to the inside.
Black gesso is mixed with Neutral Gray acrylic paint; the combination will provide a smooth, thick finish for the metallic paint.
The stationary frame of the cabinets is painted first. Painting the frame first lets you move the doors to paint the corners, then paint the doors and leave them open to dry. The hinges are also painted, adding to the industrial look (Image 1) (Image 2).
When the finish is dry, Golden Acrylics Iridescent Silver paint is brushed over the gesso finish. To help the brushstrokes disappear, make sure the last stroke is one long, straight stroke.
When the paint is dry, art paper is cut to the size of the cabinet panels and taped in place. Next, the bristle tips of a large stippling brush are dipped in Benjamin Moore paint (2112-30, Stone Brown); then excess paint is blotted off on paper towels and pounced over the dotted paper.
