they say the neon lights are bright on broadway the LES

the space above the television has been just a plain white wall for the past 11 months we've lived in this apartment. the rug is a rectangle, the TV is a rectangle, the couch is a rectangle and all the of the framed pieces above the couch are squares or right angles. i really wanted something with curves to go above the TV. at first i thought i might do something round, but gradually realized i was dying to have my own neon sign -- in a curly, cursive script. there are tons of sign stores in this neighborhood, and it's expensive, but not as expensive as i thought it might be. once our custom sign was done, the boyfriend and his handy drill made it happen.

it's amazing. and it looks better than it photographs.


all i have to decide now is whether to paint the wires white.

as for the bedroom: no progress.

Love the neon.

Also ... is that a Gibson? Les Paul studio electric? On the wall?

Where did you get the light?! I have been trying to find somewhere to order from!
