My Home: My Swing

February 02, 2011


swing + indoors = good good therapy
(and only slightly less provocative than Pamela Lee's trapeze.)


Funk-ified my office
this winter with a $16
Ekorre swing,
received a swing for Christmas,
and may commission a custom two-seater
from husband which would make it a collection!



Here's the view from swing
(cowhide from Ikea and i actually
assembled the glass table myself!).

More charming swing-ibilities:

Bewitching swing that sparked my obsession
in Gwyneth Paltrow's Tribeca home.

Interesting in such a moody space.


What the h? How bout a slide?

WANT.
Shall we now obsess about crazyfun stairs?







very spinal column-y


geometric drama, mama.

Bet they make guests sign a waiver.

i hate it when i have too much storage









How will you inject fun into your haven?

Peace to you right where you are.

    Michele - you are fun!!

    I have been wanting to put in a swing in William's room but I am not sure we have ceilings strong enough and I assume it needs to be attached to some beam. Right?

    Warm hugs to you.

    I'm loving the swing in your office! I totally want one now. What a cool idea and what a cool space :)

    confession: it IS hard to get work done with the swing.

    but it breaks up the monotony.

    A swing... your office always comes to my mind, you know? It's weird.. but I think I have a crush on your swing! lol

    I love swings since I was a kid... nothing could make me happier. I never thought of having one inside of my house (of course you're more creative than I am!) and I just love your idea. Actually I everything in your office.

    Cowhide name? Mooooo? lol Really? Maybe not... hide the cow? nooo.. humm.. "Horton"? Yes, I do read Dr. Seuss at least 2x a day to my kids! :-)

    What a fun idea to have a swing in the house! I bet it's a real stress-reliever. I have the old swing from my grandparents house, and perhaps I can convince my husband to install it somewhere in our home!
    Happy REDnesday!

    TWO swings? You lucky ducky! But, I suppose with all your business that it's good therapy!
