An Ending Beginning

Due to the fact that I'm clearing things out (and by things, I mean tables, lamps, rugs, sofa, ottomans, light-fixtures, etc), I created this little blog to let you know what it looks like and how much it costs. Along for the ride is my little Ugly Doll, Wedgehead. Most of the time, he's silent. Today when he saw me pull out the camera — and having overheard my excited exclamations after last night's planning meeting with Rafael — his shyness fell away and he quickly attached himself to the project. He's feeling sentimental about some of his favorite furniture pieces. I told him to get over it, but we'll see how long that takes.

The Bedtime Guy :: SOLD

This long, night stand has 3 little cubbies that are open in the front and the back. Low standing and black, it's been perfect for my uses. Wedge seems to think he's in a jungle or something, probably because he's been listening to "Africa" by Toto.

Filey, Jr :: SOLD

Wedge thought it'd be funny to pose as American Gothic. Who raised this Ugly child? This little filing deal is metal and super cheap. No explanation, right? Dark grey and small.

Long Neck :: SOLD

If this doesn't bring tears to your eyes, I don't know what will. Although I'm not exactly sure on the nature of their relationship, Long Neck and Wedge have been spending every minute together. I think they were better friends than I detected! Look how I caught Wedgey reaching to hug LN and LN's bent, saddened head. Great little lamp with 2 adjustable joints.

Filey :: SOLD

Filey, the original, is bigger and heavier (especially after I empty it). Wedgey and LN having a moment...

Shelfy :: SOLD

I refinished this bookshelf. Distressed and non obtrusive. Are you judging my books by their cover? It is about 15" wide, 3' tall, and about 3' long. Wedgey is usually very happy, trolling around in his books. Lately, he's taken to David Sedaris' "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim".

Mira-Mira, Jr :: $55

Well, buying it for its magical powers didn't work. Wedgey stands in front of Mira-Mira all the time, asking who will be the next president (hoping it'll be him). Mira-Mira never says a word. I think she's a mute mirror, so good luck if you're hoping Snow-White accessibility. Mira-Mira is pretty heavy, rimmed with decorative edges.

Melissa, the Mute Table :: SOLD

I know what you're thinking: how does he have BOTH a mute mirror AND table? Well, folks, all I can say is it must be in the water. Melissa has been one of my favorite things, here. Memories of so many dinners with choice, brilliant friends and family. She has a little mark on her face where I used to use my mouse and a couple of nicks. Otherwise, great shape. She has 4 chairs, all in great condition, that surround her. She is about 41" square top and 3' feet from floor to top. Wedgey likes to play Prison Break with her chairs...

T.O.M (Tread On Me) :: SOLD

Although his name seems so... sub-par, he really keeps the dirt off. At a nice 8'x10' size, this covering almost covers everything. Tread On Me has 3 sons, as well: a long runner (24"x72") and two smaller rectangular shapes (1'11"x3'1"). Buy all of them together and I'll charge $120 (a total of 4 rugs). I will not be able to clean them, because of the immediacy of clearing everything out, but they will be vacuumed, many times over before you take them home. Oh! And I have another rug, in the Moon Room. Ask about that if interested: its about 4'x7'. floral patterns with same color schematic as Tread On Me.

'Ol Glass Head :: $130

This is a Dallas Palace original! I treated the metal and had the glass cut for the top. It is a great piece, completely hand-crafted by my gnarled and aging hands. Hip. Funky. And very flat, as Wedgey so easily demonstrates. Its not kid friendly, though. Some sharp edges and it usually takes 2 people to haul it around. Length: 52"; Height: 2.75'; Width: 19".

Mira-Mira :: $65

The original Mira-Mira has a nice finish around the edges. Wood with some gold in it. A good size, 40"x30", she'll make any room look better and bigger. Still trying to figure out how Wedgey finds a place to hide when we play hide-and-go-seek. Perplexing little bugger...

The Plastic Twins :: SOLD

Yep, there are 2 of these acrylic, clear lamps. Wedgey loves all the lamps. Tall and slender and with a very cool cut to them, they have been illuminating to say the least. I did purchase them from the Martha Stewart Collection. They stand 26" tall.

Sofi, the Soft-hipped Sofa :: $575

Splendid, chocolate-colored, leather loveseat. Very comfortable. Modern style. In GREAT condition. Being a versatile piece, easy to put almost anywhere. We have loved it. Wedgehead got emotional, again, and buried his sobs in her arm.

Justin Silverlamp :: $50

Justin Silverlamp is all about glam and form. Metal body with circular shade, it makes a solid statement. In great condition. Stands 26" tall and hides Wedge perfectly when it comes time for dish duty.

Manly Chest :: SOLD

Everybody needs a chest, especially guys. I've been stowing my nieces and nephews toys here. Its also been an excellent end table. EXCELLENT condition. Heavy wood with great metal ornamental pieces. Handles on the side. Very deep. Great finish.

Ottomans :: SOLD

These little guys were fun to put together, using their different skins. No, it isn't real snake skin. Use them as table or resting places for those 10, little piggies. Excellent condition and they work as a pair, very well. Wedgey was trying to talk me out of it, as he was practicing his inversion poses for yoga. As if that is going to deter me...
