The Design Files Open House

So, if you don't already know, The Design Files Open House is this super huge crazy mega pop up. But wait, it's not just like any other pop up. You see, Lucy is this amazing wonder woman. Do you think superheroes would settle for a random shipping container to host a pop up? No. They have standards and Wonder Woman Lucy got herself a HOUSE. Yes. You heard me! A real house! One where people actually live in?! And Wonder Lucy basically took over, along with partner in crime, Esther and her team of superheroes and together, they transformed the entire home into one's dream land. Talk about crazy! EVERYTHING in the house is for sale. Including tap fixtures. I was soooooo lucky and was invited to be amongst the bunch of 75 awesome makers. I contributed 4 original artworks for the event. They're hung with lots of love in the kitchen!

I wanted EVERYTHING in the house. Including the house itself. Actually, on hindsight, I'd be more than happy just having only the toilet and the couch and maybe all the Jardan furniture and a few paintings, and lamps and bed linen. Oh and please how about adding in the very awesome 24k gold bin and baggu bags too? Please Santa, pleeeeeaaasssseeeee! I am definitely allowed to dream and wish right?

My theme phrase for the night was " OH MY GOD. I AM MELTING!!!! MELTING AND DYING AND MELTING INTO THIS ROOM.. LOOK AT THE BED.. OH MY GOD.. SOOOOOO NICE.. I WANT!!!!!!!!!!! " Yes.. I think I repeated that every time I turned a corner. Even if it wasn't a bed that I wanted to melt into.. it was the couch, the chair.. Even the toilet bowl looks nice to me! I got lucky and got to use the toilet for a few minutes. It totally put my own home toilet to shame!

Sorry I couldn't really be bothered to fine-tune my images and just shot them any-o-how, without adjusting my camera settings.. Hahah.. It was all TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL and I had so much fun! Thanks LUCY FOR EVERYTHING!!!! Drop by if you can! Warning, you might leave feeling like your house totally sucks. ( That happened to me! Haha. But only for a while. Don't worry, all my second/third/fourth-hand broken student furniture, we're still best friends. Just maybe not for life! )

More pictures on Lucy's blog here! If any of you make it there and if you've got extra time on your sleeve and a camera in hand, PLEASE take a photo of my work and send it to me if you can! I did not have time to go take photos in the day today ( the only day I can make it before I leave for Sydney tomorrow ! ) and it was way too crowded and difficult to photograph it last night. Thank you so so much! I will be really grateful if you can help me out!

Oh and on a totally different note, I'll be away in Sydney tomorrow till next Tuesday! I'm going to be at Finders Keepers! Along with my trusty elf/ man friend Darren! : ) We'll be there selling my art and wares. I am really really really excited about the market! It's my first in Sydney! Come say hi! I'd LOVE to meet all of you Sydney friends! It's always nice to meet new faces and know the lovely people who read this little blog!

See you if you can make it!
Take care and have a nice week!
PS: I was having lunch at a cheap Japanese place today and read this post on TheThousands. I burst out laughing! So funny!
