Another long week

My project is steaming along nicely this week. We almost have the plan locked down, at which point we can make sure the sections, elevations, etc. are all cohesive. The next step will be to move into nitty-gritty details, which will be excellent to my portfolio.

I took a picture of this excellent little stool that appeared in the office earlier this week. Its being used in another project, and I'm guessing the showroom sent it over for us to see. That is one of the incredible things about working here: when you want to use a piece of furniture or a light or a particular fabric or finish, its almost always just a few blocks away. A couple of weeks ago, I researched a German artist for a client, and after pricing several of his pieces, I realized that the only gallery that carried his work in the States was 6 blocks north of the office.

This is Oreo. He is some strange half-breed, possibly a dog. He is very quiet, yawns a lot, and moves at a sedate pace. He seems to possess some large degree of wisdom, or perhaps has experienced so much of the world that he is no longer surprised by anything. He is actually quite cat-like in his self-sufficiency and self-possessiveness. I would enjoy spending more time with him, but he is only around for a week or two while his owner is out of town.
