bad ass or just bad



adding cool material to my blog list. here's a reprint 4 u.


looks like the antonio project on hgtv. a horrible horrible show. a horrible decorating trend.


14 Pieces of Bad-Ass Men’s Furniture

14-pieces-of-bad-ass-furniture

You might know how to accessorize the ultimate man cave, but the right furniture can really make or break the look. Forgo the cozy love seats and traditional wood coffee tables for something with a bit more kutzpah. We’ve found the most Bad Ass Furniture known to man. Some are made out of real car parts, some covered with tattoos and some actually survived a war – all would make amazing gifts for men.


F-4 Ejection Seat

Your work day doesn’t seem quite so bad when you know you have a way to escape. The F-4 Ejection Seat isn’t a replica, but the real deal that’s been welded to a custom swivel chair base. The chair has been left in its original condition to preserve its war-time history.

Firebird Couch

Car enthusiast/furniture maker Steven Shaver wants you to bring your ride into your room with his amazing custom automotive furniture. Originally designed for an upscale car shop, he now offers his wares to the public. The Firebird couch features custom upholstery colors, embroidered car lettering and emblems on the rims.

Airplane Wing Conference Table

Nothing spices up a boring meeting in the conferences room like sitting at the giant Airplane wing conferences table. The glass surfaces lets you peer into the structure of the wing and see the worn details along its surface. You’ll have a hard time focusing on the matters at hand while you imagine what it would have been like to pilot the old bird.

Junk Car Sheet Metal Tables

It’s hard to give up that old heap of rusted metal you once called a truck. Sure, she’s pretty beat but you still see the beauty in that rusty hood. Joel Hester from Dallas, TX shares your sentiments and turns sheet metal from old American cars and trucks into beautiful tables. $850

Engine Coffee Table

This table’s got a little bit of everything… a vintage carburetor, brass knuckles and carved tattoos. These manly accents compliment the soft black leather and alligator and stingray skin set on top of its solid mahogany base. This hodge-podge of traditional elegance and hardy masculinity make the Engine Coffee Table a one of a kind piece of furniture.

B-52 Mitchell Bomber Plane Desk

The aluminum frame is stripped down to expose the sleek detail of the elevators and rudders of this re-purposed airplane wing. The Mitchell Bomber was used primarily during WWII fitted with .50 caliber machines guns and ran strafing missions. Own your own piece of aviation history and use this beautifully finished Bomber Plan wing as your office desk.

747 Cowling Reception Desk

Not everyone who comes to your office will appreciate just how rare the 747 Cowling Reception Desk truly is. But real aviation enthusiasts will realize that only 2 or 3 of the jumbo jets are made each year and these salvaged cowlings are not easy to come by. Couple the desk with an aircraft seat and you’ve officially got the coolest reception set up ever.

Tattoo Skull Chair

Take a boring and traditionally ornate chair from some era we could care less about (let’s guess Victorian or something) and stick a cool Skull tattoo design and suddenly it’s looking pretty awesome. The Tattooed Chair by Mama Tried features kick ass detailed artwork by tattoo artist Scott Campbell. The dark wood and detailed black designs give it an overall ominous appeal that is undisputedly bad ass.

Jake’s Custom Car Beds

Quite the upgrade from the little car bed you had when you were 6. This vintage car bed is made from real parts and of course features an awesome flame headboard that says this bed is on fire. The hood lifts up and doubles as storage space and the headlights are fully functional. $4000

Milano Bike Lounge Chair

What’s not bad ass about a chair made of chromed steel rims with flaming tires? The Milano Lounge Chair features inner-tube upholstery and is made of tires, handlebars and rims—all re-formed to create a cool custom lounge chair.

Oil Drum Rocker Chair

This piece of furniture turns the form and purpose of oil drums completely on its side… literally. The bright orange Oil Drum Rocker has a seat made of highly sustainable waxen smoked bamboo and due to its shape rocks slightly. Unlike some similar oil drum projects this chair still looks pretty much like its original form and is instantly recognizable for what it once was.

B707 Fuselage Room Divider

Finding creative ways to divide your loft apartment that don’t look sorta girly can be difficult. We’ve seen those Japanese paper wall dividers, but if you have pets or clumsy friends it doesn’t take long to trash them. But a B707 Fuselage Room Divider should do the trick—no one’s breaking this divider, let along knocking it down.

Throne Of Weapons Gun Chair

Look, I know you like your lazy boy, but only pansies sit on soft cushioned chairs meant to perpetuate their weakness. Real men only sit on rocks and chairs made out of lots and lots of guns. Big guns. The Throne Of Weapons chair was made from all types of guns from all over the world but mainly Ak47s.

Engine Glass Coffee Table

What’s a real man do when he needs a coffee table? He just grabs an engine and slaps a pane of glass on top and bam—he’s got a coffee table. Now it’s ready to be covered with beer cans and bags of beef jerky. The Engine Coffee Table may lack detail, but it’s the simplicity of the concept that makes it so awesome.

busts (head statues) r so popular. do u have one (or a zillion) is ur house? sometimes they look a little fancy and maybe pretentious & better as a store display, or on a pedestal in a museum. i love the ones in the images in the roundup, but is it an idea that looks good on paper, but not in ur real house?

busts: yes or no.

images from Design Crisis, a blog i like very much & am adding to my blog list.

how an artist lives

she's an artist for the company papaya. her name is anahata katkin.
her home looks like an artist put it together. enjoy. her blog goes on the list today.


Home Again...by Anahata Katkin

Housepost

Doing art pieces has been my first love. But I'd say I've had a love affair with interiors since I was a child. To me the idea of home and the interest in personal spaces goes hand in hand with an artists perspective.

Rooms

My home is always a mix of West Coast artist originals, folk art and traditional textiles from all over the world and a few of my own pieces. I can't resist modern goodies, foreign relics, and good old bohemian flair. I've tried to limit my palette at times but have since given in to my cornucopia of interests and visual loves.Kitchen

This is a new home for me. We just moved in last week and I'm enjoying having such a deep, historical house to play with. It feels good to have a sturdy home after my year in Belize. I've transplanted many of my paintings from the island and given them a place within the moody, Northwest bungalow.

Livingroom

You can be sure I'll be tinkering away on new PAPAYA! designs from my office wearing pajamas and sliding around in my socks! How does your inner perspective and love of Earthly goods translate in your home?

a girl's blog crush.

my new blog crush. godammit i'm mad.
on my blog list now. thanks mo.


Sister Wolf has been mad for a long time. She is here to share the joy. Celebrities make her mad, Republicans make her mad, cultural crimes and the misuse of language make her apoplectic. Lots and lots of other stuff, too. Funny things make her happy! Horrible things (like those chimps who didn’t get any birthday cake) make her day.

Let’s all get mad and have some fun together here at Godammit.com
