curating a collection of awesomeness

people who use the term "curating" are complete asshole posers. only museum employees who collect fucking bones or art can call themselves curators. but i am TOTALLY curating an awesome collection of images for my inspiration files. what about the assholes who use the term "inspiration files"?

breathe in the freshness:

turn any ol cabinet into awesomeness with a curated collection of white and baskets:



break that shit up with open shelves and screens in your cabinet doors:



it's like tiny windows:

so many attics unused...do this to it:

if you were so inclined you could stencil those tiles on a wall:

mirrors on windows and whiskers on kittens...

unfussy beds and warm woolen mittens:


*images via your mom the curator

Apparently I'm one of those assholes (the inspiration files kind, not the curating kind) cuz I have a bunch of those images in my files, too.

you can curate my museum any ole day! I love the stenciled tiles... wonder if I'd hate them after painting each and every one? I am all about the tiny windows! Someday, I'll take a photo series like those!

I love those tiny windows too.

Kara said...

I think I'm going to start using the term curate...

it sounds better than I collect cheap pottery from junk stores.

You are so delightful! I just love coming by and seeing what you are up to. And if you are a curating inspiration file asshole, then I must be top dog in that club. It's an addiction. These are fantastic images...so inspiring...and I'm off to add them to my...you guessed it, inspiration files!

Have a great weekend Jenny!

Thank you for publicly calling out those curating poseurs.

I'm an asshole poseur. and am now laughing like a 15 year old boy at the idea of being an asshole poseur. mental image. Speaking of holes...love the ones in that desk (I believe its called a 'modesty panel') in the attic image. gorge. where can I get one?

The REAL asshole posers are people who use the word ‘bespoke.’ I hate that pretentious word. Unless you're Australian. Then you get a pass.

Count me in the Inspiration Files club too. I'm taking deep fresh breaths and pledging my alliegence to Mom, the Curator!
