david wiseman



david wiseman does amazingly beautiful work. his installation at the cooper hewitt museum design life now is an explosion of cherry blossoms on view till july 29. the photos above are from a house in hancock park. i love the irresistible (i find bronze extremely irresistible) bronze vessel. the deer (i find deer moderately irresistible) with box is so curious i might need it. david wiseman is a graduate of the rhode island school of design. more on risd below.



for the past 5 years, rhode island school of design was always 2 hours and 15 minutes away. if i drove and it wasn't snowing and the force was with me, risd was 2 hours and 15 minutes away. if i took the bus from concord to boston south station and took the train to rhode island, it took 2 hours and 15 minutes. it was too far. now risd is 17 hours and 17 minutes away. that's right. it's not even funny.

i have not seen the rest of this house but it must be superfine if they bothered to commission that ceiling! it is a bungalow and in LA area- that;s all i know. probably craftsman. i can't imagine having the resources to do something so fabulous. once we redo bathrooms and kitchens and move walls and add windows we are out of money! we never get to the super fabulous part! some day......
all the best, i can't even type with my coffee! that is why i never use capitals!

so sweet of you all to say such nice things! the house is a 20's Georgian in hancock park. the whole house will be really great when its done. The decorator, Rodman Primack, has a really unique, eclectic style. there are a bunch of new and very different projects to be posted soon...
