vintage fridge (custom)
And the operation is mostly a task to find the centerpiece for my future kitchen. I’m not about to buy an expensive fridge in order to cut the electric bill caused by my old one. Makes no sense.
What did make sense for a minute was to buy a standard, inexpensive one. Not a design statement. And make it mine, vintage themed, with markers and acrylic paint.
I want to Roy Lichtenstein a plain...

vintage fridge (down to earth price) →
On route to solving the fridge problem, I’ve found an alternative from Gorenje. It’s fairly reasonable priced, although I’m starting to want a discount. Or an personalized-clever-fix-ideal-budget sollution (see next post).

vintage fridge →
there was this fridge when i was little… a creamy white that came with age. and a vertical handle that i always had difficulties in breaking. it was older than anyone in the house (except grandma). i’m surprised i still remember it. but i do and i can think of no better way to add a personality to the kitchen than through a retro inspired design. the fridge would be a centerpiece,...

I cannot think of any way to gather up used skateboards. If anyone would like to experiment on my working hours’ expense - please check out my contact info. A trip to the garbage dump is the best option I could think so far.
I would use them as shelves & shoe storage. Some people took it several levels further, and there’s a link to a post on that in the title.

Communist-Fi
I don’t agree to everything communist, but socialists, liberal thinkers… have ideas that resonate with my own. Things as ‘they should be’ are being described best by this line of political thought and I usually agree. I find myself steering to the left when a complicated issue of social justice is interesting enough.
And make no mistake about it: acquiring a wireless...

Living stages
Looking through my daily art sources, mainly on quest for inspiration but also to take my mind of work for a couple of minutes, I find a bunch of things that I would gladly frame. So many that the choice will be really difficult and I might find myself taking advantage of this platform, write less and bookmark more.
Dividing things up into categories, I found that I am mainly interested in three...

Blogul de urbana →
Although I would appreciate information, studies and even opinions on the subject, lengthy extracts from academic papers are not what I like to feed my reader. There are articles there I simply cannot read.
I am trying to pay more attention to this romanian language urban studies blog, in hope that it will influence my writing here.

Instead of a religious debate
The flat also came with some religion, three icons are hanging from nail hammered in the wall that divides the living room and the kitchen. The daily wear of the building left a parallel crack that runs on the same diagonal.
Having been built in the industrial, the flat is full of lines that run between the concrete slabs. I have no idea how to fix this, but since i have to take everything apart,...

Proles
My starting point is that most of us here in Bucharest live in apartments planned and built to meet certain needs; and those needs alone. If there is a place were this is an absolute truth, I’m paying it’s bills on a monthly basis.
My building is built in the 80’s pinnacle of Romanian communism, meeting all strict standards and the little opposition left (i figure that people...
