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

assembled the glass table myself!).

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.

Michele - you are fun!!
ReplyDeleteI 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 :)
ReplyDelete(I so would not get any work done though... Hmm.)
LOOOOVE your swing!! How fun! This post is so great, so many fun spaces. Love the swings with the stairs, kids would be the envy of all their friends! Idea bookmarked for future when I have a grown-up house and kids :)

Betsy the cowhide rug? Or Dora? Leni? :-p
ReplyDeleteconfession: it IS hard to get work done with the swing.
ReplyDeletebut it breaks up the monotony.
i'm taking all those names under advisement, Meera! thank you and keep em comin.

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
ReplyDeleteI 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! :-)

you crack me up! and we're even cuz i have a crush on your blog--just knowing i have a ton of inspiration when i feel stuck is awesome.
ReplyDeleteHORTON is now under consideration. never met a swing i didn't like! true!
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!
ReplyDeleteHappy REDnesday!

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