More happily ever Afters


Oh Eames!
 I have this little Reac model in black and it blew my mind when I found out Barbie had one too.

In  PINK!  Of course. Duh,

So I just had to change it.



What do you think?

and I just had to remodel this hot pink desk,




To this.


Wait for it ... the chair was hot pink too! Now put on your sunglasses for the "before picture" of this desk... Ready?

I mean it, really.




 The best part of this (don't tell anyone) is I got some of the furniture for 99 cents. The desk set with all the accessories by Gloria was $5.45 plus shipping. Check out the purple phone. See it transformed to black in the picture below? 

See the tower of the computer under the desk instead of under the screen?

Great cheap thrills! Hey what can I say, I'm saving for a wedding. Cheers! C

See post below or before this for the first crop of reworked furniture.

  2. Interesting point Neomig. Don't they know there is a market for midcentury design? I guess they can no longer think out side the palatte it you will. They must make enough money on little girls to be able to manufacturer other things. Look at the success of reac. C

  3. Hi Carol!
    Those are also Gorgeous transformations that you have done now!

    Yes, I remembered that you had lived in Japan... (we had talk about it with the poem in my blog :) ) When I wrote earlier, I had just been watching some news about the tsunami how it is moving ... ;
