The Jumping Off Point

Have you ever been to

' The Jumping Off Point? '

A place where you are taking on something new and unknown ?

Whether it is a new love or a new job, and with me it doesn't much matter.

You really do not know how it will turn out, or if it is worth the risk. 

Or if you can actually tolerate a risk at all. The fear of the unknown is paralyzing to me .

I am not a risk taker !

I am the kind of person who has never bought a lottery ticket, 

I always think about the odds, and the odds are against me.

You know , occasionally, there comes a point in ones life 

that you have no choice.

You must go to 

the jumping off place and jump!

Someone once said to me when speaking of faith, "Picture yourself with your eyes closed, and fall back." 

"G-d will catch  you."

Another words, before you jump.....let's review; 

" He is , or He is not ."

All I can say is  "I'm working on it."

And I think I will just sit here at the' jumping off place' a while longer.

Bespoke Lighting - Handblown - Rothschild And Bickers

You can choose from several glass colors including clear glass.

I particularly like the thin exposed , twisted wire.

And the attached fringe !
Elegant.
I immediately thought of Marley & Lockyer's post about a pendant lighting fixture she was looking for. I am wondering if they can make it in mercury glass as well.

That would be perfect for her.


I am impressed with the pride & quality of Rothschild & Bickers, I think you will be too.

Well....what's the verdict ?

Do we likie ?

Arturo Pani Chairs

The Chair below I am in love with. I mean in LOVE !

Arturo Pani Gilt over Iron Hand Forged Chair

Mexico City
1940s
Arturo Pani Hand Forged Iron Chair with 22kt Gilt. 
Executed by Talleres Chacon. Acquired from a Polanco Residence, Mexico City. 

"Arturo Pani (1915-1981?) was born in Mexico City to a well known diplomatic family. At the age of 4 in 1919 he traveled with his family to live in Europe as his father was appointed Mexico’s Counsel General to Belgium, later moving to Milan as his father’s position changed. In 1925 the family settled in Paris and remained there until 1935. 
Arturo was the younger brother of Mario Pani, well known Mexican Modernist Architect and editor of the magazine Architectura/Mexico for over 40 years. After completing studies in the private school Janson de Sailly both Mario and Arturo entered the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. Mario was inclined toward architecture and Arturo chose decoration and interior design. Both brothers returned to Mexico City by 1935. Arturo’s first project was the furniture design and decoration of the family house on Lieja Street. Mario’s first major project was the construction of the Hotel Reforma in 1936 which became the emblem of Mexican Modernism. Arturo Pani was given free reign to design the furniture and interiors of the lobby and several salons of the Hotel Reforma. Diego Rivera created the murals for the one of the dining rooms. The social standing of the family allowed Arturo to begin his career with the decorating company De la Pena, Lascurain y Compania. The company took advantage of the Pani name and presented Arturo as the Senior Decorator. 
Arturo Pani went on to create a career that spanned over 40 years. He became “the” decorator to the elite of Mexico City and his studio, Arturo Pani SA, remained at Niza #30 well into the 1970s. In the late 1950s Pani became known internationally for creating the “Acapulco Look”.
Do you like the look of these chairs for a dining room ? Would you do it ?

I Love Mylar

In the southern most part of SOBE ( South Miami Beach) exist a nail salon named LACE.

The interior design in the first image is what nailed me (ha ha), because it has Mylar Wall Covering and Venetian mirrors.

The other day I was reading the Times and there was an article on a Nail Salon Company that makes designer fingernail films. And the one that they featured was a silver one.

'Voila' , and here I think you have Mylar Nails.
This company has AMAZING patterns on their films. Herringbone,stripes, nautical themes...it is wild. Check it out. I have provided the link , clock on 'Minx Nails'

It really is like microscopic wall covering.

How cool is that ?
