George Nelson Bubble Lamp Illuminates

George Nelson created the "Bubble Lamp" line for Howard Miller in 1947. Howard Miller continued to sell the line throughout the late 1970's after which they were discontinued. George Nelson never named the different lamp designs and they were simply given numbers by Howard Miller. A large Saucer lamp was simply sold under "Bubble Lamp H-727". Austin artist Elizabeth Decker's self portrait hangs in the stairwell.

Unveiling New Art

The new artistic statement in the living room is by Elizabeth Decker from her Paper Bag Series. This fabulous piece is titled Consumption.

Benvenuti, Bienvenidos, Willkommen and ברוכים הבאים

Well we were finally able to hang those recycled aluminum letters on the angled ceiling of the front door entry. Why have a welcome mat when you can display a welcome sign?

Curtain Call

Hey all... the custom curtains are finally installed; the guest room is nearly complete. And no the circle pattern on the fabric does not glow in the dark (but it would be cool if it did).

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn...and Austin, TX

It has been a while since a photo of La Casa Verde has been posted on Ye Ole Blog. The last photograph certainly did not include grass nor foliage. The landscaping is still somewhat minimalistic who knew huge Agave plants cost an Orin Scrivello, DDS and a Mr. Mushnick! Feed me Seymour!
