decorations


One of my roomies is an interior designer and likes to create little "art pieces" around the apt. This usually involves something like 20 glass colorful ornaments in a large pink bowl on an embroidered placemat on the kitchen table surrounded by 10 small candles. Whatever it is, it wont usually be there for long, as it seems she mixes things up weekly, furthering the effect of a museum-like apt. The Art is usually pretty or intersting to look at, but perhaps a little over the top or at least maybe not ideal for it's current surface space.
Take the current decorative combo. It is a mini fawn in a bowl with a tiny porcelain "Happy Birthday" cake, all on a metalic plate. This is an unusual piece in and of itself, especially as it is no one's birthday. But when you look where in the apt this instillation is, you realize that there are some places only a professional will go.

I know why the birthday cake is in the bowl. It's the candles! You always want candles burning in the bathroom.
