ModMan: June 2010
http://modmandesign.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 22, 2010. Mid Century Modern Occassional Chair. A stickler for stick legs, the moment I saw this chair on Craigslist I was drawn to it. The mid century modern piece was as uncomfortable as a block of wood, with no seat cushion or padding. But for $25 how could we go wrong? The beagles has shredded a couple throw pillows, so I recycled the stuffing from those and bought a yard of this faux zebra-like material, with a slight velvety touch. Total Project Cost: $35.

Giant inflatable Santa and his 8 tiny reindeer are not only garish,...

ModMan: Dining with Drama!
http://modmandesign.blogspot.com/2010/09/dining-with-drama.html
Wednesday, September 8, 2010. And I'm not talking about viscious food fights or family squabbles or people storming from the table - I'm talking about creating a simple but impactful statement with the use of large format modern art and minimal furnishings. OK, sure, this IS a plug for my painting but at the same time, I think it's a valid point. Check out some of my inventory here and let's serve up some modern slick with those viddles!

ModMan: A Lean Mean Green Patio Solution
http://modmandesign.blogspot.com/2010/10/lean-mean-green-patio-solution.html
Friday, October 8, 2010. A Lean Mean Green Patio Solution. Upon moving into our house just over 3 years ago, I marveled at the garden and the extensive planting throughout the property. It seems as though the previous owner worked at a nursery and my guess is she got paid in plants. There were a couple things I took personal issue with though – there wasn’t much in the way of structure to the landscape design and the planting resembled an attempt to replicate an English Country Garden. I purchased a roll...

ModMan: Modern Hypertufa Birdbath Project
http://modmandesign.blogspot.com/2011/07/modern-hypertufa-birdbath-project.html
Monday, July 25, 2011. Modern Hypertufa Birdbath Project. Our kids and I did this project back on Father's Day. It was a fun way to spend an hour or so. Hypertufa is a simple mixture of ingredients that creates a clay-like substance that you can then mold into various objects and when it cures it hardens like concrete but is much lighter weight. So here's how to make the hypertufa 'clay'. Large container for mixing. Pam or non-stick spray. Equal parts Portland Cement, Pearlite and Peat. For this project ...
