I like the Space Age, Starburst, Amoeba and Boomerang Style. I found this "Starburst Shelf" down on Fourth St in Long Beach at the Starlight Room, right by Tiki Frogs excellent Mid-Century Shop. It was really in poor shape, so I thought I'd fix it. I've been watching the "Junk Brothers" lately and they fix things up and change 'em up a bit, so they gave me some inspiration. As you can see the Foil Wallpaper was badly decomposing, the Plastic Mirror was beat up, it needed painting and it was lame. |

I take perverse pleasure in watching Junk Brothers because I often think that the final product is worse junk than what they started with. But you did an awesome job - what a striking way to show off your knick knacks. |

As much as I like foil wallpaper, the tapa gives it a whole new identity. And those lamps are divine. |

Those are one hell of a set of shelves! Great renovation job!! Lawrence Llewelyn Bowen would be envious. Where did you source your tapa cloth? I want to get some for a small project I have in mind here at Tiki Towers in England. If any TCers out there can advise me on sourcing some, I'd appreciate it. If I do half as good a job as you I'll have done exceedingly well!!! Quality will out! - Trader Jim (Make mine a...No I'll have a DIY Mai-Tai this time!). |
