Googie Tuesday, Part 11 (Inaugural Edition?)
Posted by Danielle in Art & Architecture on January 20, 2009
Slightly in honor of, but really having nothing to do with Inaugural Tuesday, I present a Googie Two-fer! The above is a spectacular rotosphere decked out in patriotic red, white and blue. (See?? Slight relevance!!)
The below is quite Googie, not at all patriotic, not really that space-y looking, but very familiar to me, as it resides in Dunsmuir, California, just down Interstate 5 from my home town of Mount Shasta. (I believe it’s called the Hitching Post.) I saw it in a sea of southern California Googie and chuckled.

This lovely starburst was sent my way by Brian — the Bessemer, Alabama Holiday Inn, circa 1957. I find the sign extremely enticing, myself. The present-day photos of the former-Holiday-Inn property, not so much.

I think it’s the colors and composition of this photo that make me love it so. (Photo by helveticaneue.)

What satellites have to do with burgers is anyone’s guess, but they’re two great tastes that taste great together — photo by larry&flo.

For sheer design and simplicity, this is one of the best neon signs I’ve seen — photo by Matt.

Oh would you look at this wonderful spiky, neon-y little thing?? (Photo by Dave van Hulsteyn.)
Pixels/Icons: Various Atmospheres
Posted by Danielle in Computer & Internet on January 16, 2008
IconBuffet has several versions of their “Atmospheres” icons, which feature weather elements, moons and suns, stars, aliens, ufos and comets/meteors. They are all worth a look-see; personally, Oslo Atmosphere is my favorite.

Convex Star Mirror
Posted by Danielle in Home & Office on December 1, 2007
Another lovely item from West Elm, this convex star mirror complements the sunburst wire wall art I blogged about several months back. I’d like both of these, truth be known, but this one especially, I like the finish.
Catch some rays. A contemporary take on the classic shape brings a decidedly new perspective to any room.
Sunburst Wire Wall Art
Posted by Danielle in Home & Office on March 14, 2007
I saw this lovely sunburst wire wall art piece at Dooce.com — I love stylized space motifs, and this looks particularly 1960s. Hoping to pick this up at some point, it’d look great in my office.
