Vandalized Vintage Ceramics

These often humorous, sometimes for mature audiences only, up-cycled plates are from New Zealand artist, trixiedelicious. All these pieces are hand painted. She touts her line as "vandalized vintage". See more of her handywork over at her etsy store here.
I was lucky enough to be gifted this pink lilies & lady one. It hangs on my kitchen art wall!

Smart Home: Green and Wired

If you are in Chicago at any point before January 4, 2009, you should go see the exhibition at the Museum of Science and Industry which is entitled, Smart Home: Green and Wired. The three story home was designed by local Oakland, CA architect, Michelle Kaufmann and was built by All American Homes. It is located right next to the museum and shows off green building technologies. It looks very interesting!
